[Trek] Mirror, Mirror

Mirror, Mirror won the poll handily, and is now appointed Lord High King of All Episodes TFV Should Watch after the Gay Sex One, the Robot Kirk One, and the One Where Everyone Is CreepyAnd the poll was right! Or the voters were, anyway. Mirror, Mirror is amazingly good. And it was educational for me; I never knew, before this, why people said

We pause so I can explain the blue dot metaphor to Best Beloved, who somehow missed that part of health class.

I...don't get it. Did I miss that part of health class too?

[lucia_tanaka]

heh, I just asked the same thing. :deletes that comment lol: seconding this.

[misspamela]

Thirding. Though I did miss a lot of health class.

OH MY GOD YOUR ICON IS FREAKING ME OUT.

Um. Anyway.

Explanation! Apparently this is less common than I always thought. Whoops!

[svilleficrecs]

You probably already tried this, but have you tried to switch on your TV's closed caption function?

[thefourthvine]

We've tried. *sadface*

It just occurred to me what ep you really need to see: "Space Seed." ZOMG, the D/s-iness of this! Ricardo Montalban! (Damn, he had a chest that put Shatner's to shame!) Hmm, gee, the things you don't notice when you're watching at 12 years old.

[thefourthvine]

I totally want to see that, because I've seen the movies, now, and apparently Space Seed is a precursor! *yearns*

Traditionally, Satan has a goatee and I think there's even a reference in the episode to the Mirror!Spock looking like the Devil.

[thefourthvine]

You know, I totally did not make that connection, and I suspect the reason is that I've always pictured Satan as having a natty goatee, whereas Spock's is more of the hideous growth kind of thing.

Much is made clear! Thank you! Although, wow, I judge the makeup people for not managing a nice Satanic goatee, I really do.

See, mirrorverse, while interesting to me, is not actually my kink. It's not my anti-kink, either, and I would totally read a well-written story set in it, but the random PWPs and so on probably wouldn't do much for me. But I still want to know that they're THERE. Because they have to be! The laws of fandom compel it! If they aren't, then those laws are INVALID. So you can see why I would care deeply about them, and why I am SO SO GLAD to hear that they're out there.

Hi sorry to but in, but I have been trying to find stuff for mirrorverse and mostly I have only seen the fanzines. Do you have any URLs to any archives?
