Talk:In a Mirror, Darkly

Two parter
This episode is a two parter, Production numbers 94 and 95. ("In a Mirror, Darkly" and "In a Mirror, Darkly, Part II") I'd make the change myself but it's been a good hour and my IP is still blocked (AOL.) - A.J. 22:41, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Correction
"Though, the differences are also nuanced in their commonality, such as the depiction of the V-2 rocket directly leading to a successful Moon landing. Yet, if there is a single "point of divergence" for the Mirror Universe, this is not it."

I edited this because the V2 is not shown in the mirror intro. We see a Saturn V rocket launch, and a shot of it flying, overlain over a blackboard (both scenes appear in the normal intro), before a scene of a man in a Terran spacesuit placing a flag of the Terran Empire on the moon.

And I, coming later, edited the V-2 entry + link, to Saturn V and link, lower, in the "altered credits" entry. Geeze - don't folks know their rockets?? Inexcusable in a Star Trek nerd (kidding!). 203.208.70.96 (talk) 02:08, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

how much of the text can you read?
lots of things are citing the history text in this episode. can someone confirm how much is actually shown on screen? i am worried that in some places we are directly citing the text that was writtten to be displayed on the screen, which may not have been actually seen, whilst claiming that it was on screen.

 * Because this is an encyclopedia article, not a fan critic site. If this information can't be backed up by a reliable source it's worthless to the article. It's also completely speculative, and reads like what it is: one fan's disappointment that more thought wasn't put into the episode's backstory. Memory Alpha is a better place for stuff like this.

Addendum: I would like all references to a "racist" and humans only Federation eliminated from all Trek related entries because they refuse to acknowledge this one simple fact: Real world production. In the real 1960's Gene dimply didn't have the budget to portray all the alien creatures we (in 2007) are used to seeing.

What about the fact that the united human race is only ever represented by Americans and the odd Brit? Seems pretty racist to me. Don't need special effects to hire foreign actors, hollywood's full of them. Guess the rest of the world's not invited to the utopian future 59.38.32.5 (talk) 06:10, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Chekov was a Brit? And Uhura? tsk tsk - nerds should know better ...

The Bridge
I thought I read on Trekmovie where the Defiant bridge is actually the James Cawley fan-made bridge for their fan-made Star trek movies. Seeing as how Cawley & company actually MADE the prop, all Paramount had to do was lease it from them at considerably less cost than building it from scratch? Can anyone contact Cawley & confirm? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.174.83.232 (talk) 03:56, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
