I have loved STAR TREK from the very first year, 1966 or so.
Probably always will. Geez, when I die I will MISS the future STAR TREK shows. Dang.

What's interesting is that bearded Spock's logic "fits in" so easily in the evil universe as it does the good universe.
There is some fan fiction that takes this episode and extrapolates what happens when evil Spock "considers" Kirk's proposition, and acts on it.
Let's just say that it doesn't end well for bearded Spock.
The evil empire prevails.
This is one of my favorite episodes. But it also depresses me.
It's hard to think of Spock doing rotten things, but for "logical" reasons.

The unanswered question in that episode is “What would you do if you had a Tantalus field device?”

Uhura was good, but when she was bad, she was better.

The “Mirror, Mirror” episode always makes me ponder analogies to America, in which some strange point in time, the country I knew and loved disappeared in a wink, to be replaced by an ugly, vomitous, alternate-universe America, in which everything from values to morals has been turned totally upside-down.
And to add an even more depressing footnote, I didn’t even get a sexy Barbara Luna out of the deal.

“In any war between the civilized man and the savage, support the civilized man.”The problem with this is that historically the civilized man is quite often in the wrong.
As our own history makes quite clear.

Love the episode....loved even more the two part last season, ST Enterprise series “Through a Mirror, Darkly”.
especially loved the opening credits and the twisting of the Zephram Cochrane rearrangement of ‘first contact’, from the ST Movie of the same name....

The Star Trek episode Mirror Mirror illustrates the problem with cultures that solve their problems with violence... perfectly. I used to think that, but I have come to the conclusion that there are deeper issues of conflict than mere melanin content of the skin. I'm tired of trying to be altruistic when I/we do not get the same pass.
BTW, Whom Gods Destroy was my all time fave.

I also have to say that the 4-Season “Enterprise
was the only spinoff that approached the original and surpassed it at times.
