DS9 Discussion Post: 2x23 'Crossover'
Our invasion was a success! A minor insurgence by "primeverse" holdouts was quickly laid to rest, and the "mirrorverse" invaders controlled the chat from beginning to end. Well done!
Some discussion questions to ponder before wave two of the invasion in seven hours:
1. Several important characters were killed off very early on in this episode. Why do you think this was done?
2. How much of the difference between characters and their mirrorverse counterparts can be explained by the different (political, social) environment? How much is just straight-up flipped morality?
3. How do you think this story would have been told from the perspective of one of our ("mirrorverse") filmmakers?
4. How well does DS9's version of the mirrorverse mesh with TOS's version?
5. There's a reference to the Bajoran pagh in this episode, so that indicates there is at least some form of Bajoran religion in the mirrorverse. How do you think it compares?
Bonus Question 1. Which universe has better fashion?
Bonus Question 2. What should be the lyrics to the official anthem of the mirrorverse?
