Kirk's recognition of imminent danger in what is an otherwise incomprehensible situation, and his inclination to not give away anything, without saying more than a word, is both excellent characterisation and such talented mastery over the film making process. Puts the modern stuff to shame really...utter competence porn...
He gave away some hints like looking at his new clothing and his hands and not to mention the confused look he gave to Spock like "What's goin on here!?!" oh and how he answered Spock's question.
@@leoperidot482 Wasn't it in the first ST movie that the transporter malfunctioned while they were trying to beam two people aboard? And the response from the ground was "What we got back ... didn't live long."
This episode shows Captain Kirk at his best - wary, alert, clever, hiding his fear with bravado, always one step ahead of adversity and utterly dynamic. He even had time to make out with the sensuous Barbara Luna.
Think about it folks, that agonizor used in this episode of Star Trek in the 60's is now your modern day taser the cops carry when they want to control a disruptive or unruly or uncorporative person who refuses to cooperate with the law. Also note folks the scene when the Captain and the landing party are transported back up to the Enterprise, the Captain beams up not holding his communicator, yet when he does apper on the transporter he is holding his communicator, then when the landing party does appear, on the other ship, Kirk materializes not holding his communicator. Watch it closely. Probably because of the other universe starship when they both were beaming up at exactly the same times.
I actually prefer they don't. What makes the Mirror Universe in Star Trek so enjoyable is that it's hardly seen. That's what makes it great. I feel like if they did a whole movie or show about it, it wouldn't have the same impact as it does whenever it's featured in one episode out of an entire show.
@@wilhelmvonberghoff175 Very true. But I'd still like to know whether 'alternate Spock' managed to shove 'alternate Kirk' out the airlock and take over the ship in an attempt to turn the Empire from its homicidal course.
@@dna9838 now I see where neoliberalism (NATO) got it's inspiration. Terror, against those who can't retaliate. Like Yugoslavia, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Somalia and on and on...
Lt. Uhura is sexy in this episode and most badass as well. She HAD to be, in a parallel Universe where terror is the norm and assassinations are commonplace. She coyingly toys with Mirror Universe Sulu before slapping him across the face, saying "I'm afraid I've changed my mind again." Sulu snaps back with "You take a lot of chances, Lieutenant!" Uhura pulls a knife on Sulu, warning Sulu to back off. "So do you, Mister. So do you!" And in the Transporter Room, Uhura also deftly disarms Marlena Moreau, who had a phaser pointed right at Captain Kirk.
I went to a convention where William Shatner was shown a film with him kissing alien women. He laughed and said something like I wonder where they all are, probably all old now...then the women surprised him on stage, all still gorgeous... Miss Luna said, Am I still the captain's woman? Of course all of us fans knew the proper reply, but he was so flustered he didn't say, You're the captain's woman until he says you're not (or something like that). It was a great moment.
Damn those abs!! Because I’m watching on my phone, I had to pause and take a screenshot just cause I wasn’t sure I was seeing what I’m seeing. Just wow!
Agreed, the Original Star Trek series beats the tar out of that cheesy next generation stuff any day of the week as well as years, now and always in the future. Hate that stupid and ridicules cheesy next generation stuff, it ain't Star Trek.
I think the mirror universe is an interesting continuous storyline that they developed over the course of several series. I like that they return to it and build upon it. But I always felt very uneasy whenever watching the mirror universe episodes. There's something so jarring about seeing the characters we come to expect behaving in a certain way then suddenly acting very differently. I always felt such a strong sense of relief whenever they returned from the mirror universe at the end of an episode because I wouldn't want to live in that world, whereas the real Star Trek universe is an ideal version of what humanity could be capable of achieving one day.
Not, really. Spock in the Federation universe is much more disciplined, more civilized and very much in control of any violent tendencies. The parallel universe Spock not only sported a beard, however was much like his Vulcan ancestors who tolarated no civility, and was cruel, treacherous, uncivilized and much more aggressive as well as undisciplined, and blood thirsty. Notice that when Mr. Sulu was monitoring Spock's computer, the statue of the Roman head in the background over Spock's shoulder, was also seen in the episode, Space Seed, first season, in Lt. McGivers quarters.
I have to see the episode for myself but I am keenly interested because I have read Sorrows of Empire. What a fantastic book. I won’t spoil it but it gives you an insight as to how Mirror Spock behaves.
JJ Abrams (or the writer of Star Trek reboot) watched one of the first TOS episodes to air, "The Man Trap" and decided to ship Uhura and Spock because she flirts with him on the bridge.
This should've been a two parter part one with the prime crew in the mirror universe and part 2 with the mirror crew in the prime universe thumbs if you'd wanna see that
The alternates were caught by Mr. Spock the moment they materialized in the wrong clothes and threw a temper tantrum. It may have taken security a couple minutes to track down Kirk and get him to the brig.
Very good question, I think I know. They were never on an "Evil Enterprise". Nor were their counterparts on the "Good Enterprise". Everything we saw in this episode was from the POV of the four of them. Someone else could see _they_ were actually acting all wild and insane. They _believed_ they were in an Evil parallel universe, because it was Kirk's explanation for what they were all experiencing. Have you ever heard of "Transporter Psychosis"? Exacerbated that with them probably being exhausted from being up for several hours in difficult negotiations. It would not only explain why their uniforms seemed different,but also why the Halkans seemed _the same._ And, about the Halkans; When Kirk threatened to destroy them with the ships phasers, he thought everyone on the bridge was shocked he was giving them a break. But,what if they were really shocked that Kirk made such a threat at all? It is the kind of thing that "Our" Checkov would deal with by getting a security team and trying to relieve him of Command. But, in his delusional state, Kirk believed it was an assassination attempt! Think about which of the two explanations is more likely?
And with that terrifying introduction one of the best plot devices of star trek stories, was born, lets hop over to the mirror universe and see what's different from our own universe.
HOW THE HELL is this "restricted and deemed inappropriate" but I just watched a video of a dude pouring pudding in to his shoes fetish thing without warning . HOW?
@@Alphasnowbordergirl You forget He is a much younger Spock than we see with Kirk, he served with Pike for eleven years and he is still experimenting with his human side.
I read that a lot of this episode takes music from "Balance of Terror" with the Romulan bird of prey. Because it's a first-season episode and this is second season, I'm told they had to re-record the music or musical themes due to union rules. It's pretty amazing that they could score half a dozen episodes and use the cues or themes throughout the ~26 episodes of the season.
I agree. There wasn't enough mirror crew scenes in the Federation universe. Would've been quite a storyline to see the kind of interaction mirror Kirk might have had with Marlena.
@@otakurocklee All the mirror universe episodes, including this one, the DS9 episodes, and the Enterprise 2 parter, mainly took place in the mirror universe.

This was such a good episode. They should really revisit this for a movie. I think it would be a great 3 hour flick, where the bad Kirk takes the Enterprise in the "Good" universe and goes up against Starfleet. It would be fun to watch.
I just noticed that they are giving the Hitler salute in the alternate universe! I don’t care what century you are in, when that is the universal greeting you are screwed! The sudden facial hair and wardrobe change is the least of your worries! Still one of my favorite episodes of all 3 seasons! Uhura was such a bad ass in this as well!
You should be aware that the "Saluto romano" the roman greeting was probably used (more likely not the whole outstretched hand but with an outstretched forefinger) thousands of years before the Nazis stole it.
@@sanitizerwilson1599- Of course it is. Even looking at Nazi architecture during the reign of Hitler, many exterior designs had an ancient Roman Empire feel to it.
Somehow it was common in the early science fiction, even before the idea of parallel universes, usually it was more of a psychological allegory like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, from the subconscious monsters of the Forbidden Planet to the dark side of the Force in Star Wars . 'Space 1999 Another time another place' was also a good multiverse episode, but in this case it wasn't allegorical of the evil side like in this ST episode, and was much more a conceptualization of the multiverse, as consequences of something gone wrong in space.
“Mirror mirror on the wall who is the fairest of them all” The notable difference between the prime and mirror universes is almost everyone seems to be a psychopath or a sociopath as sociopaths will follow psychopaths but even in the midsts of sociopaths there are some psychopaths just waiting to make a move to become the captain and that’s why the empire was doomed and still is its members are all just ticking time bombs and majority of commanding officers are young and have yet to gain the experience necessary to command but they killed the captain so hey let’s make them captain. Mirror Archer is a good example unlike a majority of mirror captains he’s a sociopath as Hoshi sato’s counterpart was able to manipulate him effectively until she was done with him and killed him. Mirror Burnham is a clear cut Psychopath waiting for a time to strike and kill the Emperor. And let’s face it even when the Empire was destroyed and the Terran enslaved in ds9 what’s to say they might continue where the empire left off after the rebellion conquest and killing and destroying not much of a life and how long until they fall again and this time it’s permanent. Worf in the ds9 is a clear psychopath, Garrek a sociopath he dose everything to get back into Regent Worf’s good graces but fails. So in the end the mirror universe seems to be a world where all humanity darkest impulses are soaring high they are what we can be if we allow hate, bigotry, and all the other problems to flourish in our society without anything being done about them.

Yes, it was a taser, in reality. Again, the Original Star Trek series was very much futuristic.

And, about the Halkans;
When Kirk threatened to destroy them with the ships phasers, he thought everyone on the bridge was shocked he was giving them a break.
But,what if they were really shocked that Kirk made such a threat at all?
It is the kind of thing that "Our" Checkov would deal with by getting a security team and trying to relieve him of Command.
But, in his delusional state, Kirk believed it was an assassination attempt!
Think about which of the two explanations is more likely?
The most authorative phrase from this episode ......

Never saw Uhura look better.
The pin point accuracy of the transporter, and how it can switch you into your mirror doubles uniform while in transit.

Your agonizer please, no Mr. Spoke, I tried!
TOS will always be the best of the Star Trek incarnations.
love the mirror world in star trek discovery, long live the empire
Yes discovery shows what startrek could be if the entire show took place in the mirror universe
"You were supposed to have gotten rid of the Captain, and the landing party......, Mr.Kyle........your agonizer please......"
“Mirror mirror on the wall who is the fairest of them all”
The notable difference between the prime and mirror universes is almost everyone seems to be a psychopath or a sociopath as sociopaths will follow psychopaths but even in the midsts of sociopaths there are some psychopaths just waiting to make a move to become the captain and that’s why the empire was doomed and still is its members are all just ticking time bombs and majority of commanding officers are young and have yet to gain the experience necessary to command but they killed the captain so hey let’s make them captain. Mirror Archer is a good example unlike a majority of mirror captains he’s a sociopath as Hoshi sato’s counterpart was able to manipulate him effectively until she was done with him and killed him. Mirror Burnham is a clear cut Psychopath waiting for a time to strike and kill the Emperor. And let’s face it even when the Empire was destroyed and the Terran enslaved in ds9 what’s to say they might continue where the empire left off after the rebellion conquest and killing and destroying not much of a life and how long until they fall again and this time it’s permanent. Worf in the ds9 is a clear psychopath, Garrek a sociopath he dose everything to get back into Regent Worf’s good graces but fails. So in the end the mirror universe seems to be a world where all humanity darkest impulses are soaring high they are what we can be if we allow hate, bigotry, and all the other problems to flourish in our society without anything being done about them.
Your Agonizer Please!
