Time travel episodes as honorable mention.
I believe they take place roughly a year from now in the timeline. It definitely hits close to home given the circumstances.
Honestly, I would put those above mirror universe episodes any day of the week.
Hot Take: the only truly good mirror universe episode was Mirror, Mirror.
I like how they make someone dress sexy whenever they want to show that they’re evil.
Fucking love Vic Fontaine
Oh man, they’re episodes I’ll pick out to watch specifically and individually.
I generally like him, but mirror universe Vic Fontaine was one of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen.
Tbh i hate the mirror universe now… from being a not-so-serious in-joke that came back every now and then, not as much as nudging the timeline, plot or characters into any too serious a direction, to becoming an important part of cannon that I just don’t like… mostly because of Discovery and Picard.
It’s really just too cheesy. Alternative universes, by all means, but just a mirror universe where there’s a bit of a role reversal which stems from can only be described as “a trend in the 70s”.
Mirror this, bizarro that, cod sarn it. To call it a gimmick is a bit of an understatement. To call it cannon is a bit embarrassing.
Now excuse me, I’ve ranted about Star Trek on the interwebz, so now I have to go fulfill the government mandated 3 hours of grass touching.
I thought the Picard one was a different evil timeline and not the mirror one?
