Look at the so -called mirror universe of the “Star Trek” privilege for the first time in the Series Original ‘1967’ Mirror, Mirror. This episode witnessed Kirk (William Shatner) and a few of his colleagues in his organization in the parallel dimension thanks to the ion storm. This parallel universe was similar to the Kirk house, and everyone was only evil. The USS has now become an imperial ship of conquest, and it was common to seize the ranking of their superiors for the progress of their career. Starfleet officers are also equipped with used interface tools called Agonizers, whose superiors used to inflict painful penalties.

The Mirror Universe will not be seen again until “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine” for 1994 “Crossover”. There, it turned out that the imperial fleet was overlooked by Klingons and Romulans in this alternative reality, leaving humans enslaved by a new empire. (Everything was very dark.) The characters from Mirror will also appear for four additional “Deep Space Nine” episodes. After that, there was an entertaining episode of two parts of “Star Trek: Enterprise”, entitled “In a Mirror, Dark”, which happened entirely within the mirror world. Finally, half of the first season of the first season of “Star Trek: Discovery” appeared mirror or side transplants to the world of evil. Oh yes, and Empress Philipa Georgio (Michelle Yuh), The protagonist “Star Trek: Section 31”, “ He grew up from the mirror world.

I was strange, it was the only time “Star Trek: The next generation” is close to exploring the mirror world 1993 “Dark Mirror”, Non -ecclesiastical tie by Diane Duan. The next generation itself has never been involved in the mirror world, which seemed strange to Trekkies. Certainly, an evil version of Captain Picard (Patrick Stewart) was fun for writing?

Braannan Braga, who held the position of a crew writer in the “next generation”, ultimately addressed the absence of mirror universe episodes in his program “Star Trek” for the year 2017 (It is covered by Trekmovie). There, it was revealed that the mirror universe is prevented from the chain through a creative mandate.

The word “prohibited” may be a word. Perhaps he was strongly inhibited. Braga indicated that he was already able to break many creative bannings that show the creator Roddenberry and/or CEO Rick Berman. For example, time travel stories were supposed to be banned from the “next generation”, but this did not prevent Braga from working as an editor of the story on “Time’s Arrow” (mostly present in the nineteenth century). He was also supposed to go away from the sequence of dreams, but it still ends with the writing of “fake”, an episode that revolves around dreams and visions. “I broke all the rules,” Braga declared.

When it came to the mirror world, Braga remained. Perhaps he had paid a little more than that, did he and the other writers think about the presentation in a good idea. However, inspiration has never made, so Braga and his colleagues remained the book in the “next generation” in the world of “Star Trek”. He also remembers Braga:

“We were a little afraid of doing this, and we did it badly, and perhaps they never discovered what.”Next generation It would have been on that. “

It is fair. The UNTERSE-D crew is so nice and diplomatic that it seemed that they could have been able to confront themselves “evil” and negotiate with them. Persons from the “next generation” will not face even a wild parallel world The second season of “Star Trek: Picard”, “ It was also partially appointed in an alternative reality supervised by the tyrant of the genocide governed by the earth. However, the evil universe “Picard” was not a mirror world, but some of the other domain may have been created by Q.

This, of course, led to the theory of fans The mirror world was to create Q all the time. But this is just a theory (“trip”).
