I absolutely love ENT's Mirror episodes. The fact that they are entirely set within the Mirror Universe is just incredible; no need for convoluted universe crossing explanations, just the cast getting to have fun as scenery-chewing Terrans.
I wonder what event led to the Humans of the mirror universe to become imperialistic conquerors? There has to be a point of divergence somewhere where the prime universe and the mirror universe split off from each other.
+Alexander Simmons +jim kirk Remember that ep on TNG "parallels"?

Personally, I'd prefer they don't taint this fine piece of music with STD. (As you can tell, I'm a Trek fan, even a Mirror Universe fan, but not at all a _Discovery_ fan.)
Recognizing that this specific theme music was only used for a specific story arc, I can remember how blown away I was upon 1st hearing it, just, WOW!!! It's too "military", too aggressive for a general Star Trek theme I think, but it is SO much better than that bit of tripe originally written for the show, always just muted that and waited
If only the super monsters from Netflix jr. had THEIR OWN mirror universe. picture the super monsters wearing sinister RED AND BLACK clothes, and looking for the NEXT KNIFE aimed their backs. and, doing TERRAN SALUTES and, hail the globe and dagger!!!
Very symbol insignia of Interpol so don't say it can't happen here in our universe of how often "antimatter is portrayed as an evil alter ego" when good and evil are points of view.
They should abandon Nu-Trek, Discovery and this idea to hybrid everything, and just continue from Nemesis and straight up invade Prime with a powerful Terran Empire in that movie.
The Terran empire makes much more sense than the Federation because ultimately we live in the age of the military industrial complex everything is tied to the military the whole purpose of government is the is doing at war arc all our country stop being a republic along time ago we became an empire the American empire always looked into expand our territory now we have transformed ourselves into a global empire we seek other land to conquest the driving force that would drive the human race out into space would be conquest not exploration and peace for colonization of conquest to subjugate our enemies see them driven into the dust and don’t forget about the desecration of the women
