I saw this on BBCA the other night. Still a very enjoyable episode. Couple of thoughts.
- The makeup on Sulu's scar is awful. I know it was a product of its time, but its distracting. OTOH, Spock's beard remains awesome.
- The AU uniforms for females left little to the imagination. Nichelle Nichols was in incredible shape as was the actress that played Marlena. Yowza!!
- Shatner's scene as the AU Kirk was top notch hamming. Not as good as the "You will obey my orders" tantrum from Turnabout Intruder, but enjoyable.
- Again, the stunt doubles should have gotten acting credits as their faces were quite visible.
I call woo woo on you,

Had forgotten about "Turnabout Intruder" tantrum. Did he and JL swap bodies when it may have been her "time" as it were? If her hormones also swapped to his body, that would explain the tantrum.
Catch Shatner earlier in his career such as Twilight Zone, Alfred Hitchcock's shows, Thriller, etc. and you'll see much of what he displayed in ST. Sometimes I'll close my eyes in these programs and I see Kirk doing the lines. -

Or maybe he was cast in those roles - some of them, anyway - because they were looking for exactly his type of acting/character. It doesn't really make sense to give someone an acting role where they have to act totally opposite of their normal personality, whatever that might be.

Actors do that every day, or at least
good
ones do.
There are 8.2 billion people in the world. 8.19 billion of them have never heard of and don't give a fuck about Charlie Kirk. Get over it. -

I really dislike parallel universe / parallel planetary evolution,

,
etc
,

, because one has to explain how two things can be simultaneously like and not like each other.
I have to admit, though, that the
Star Trek Continues
episode "Fairest of Them All" does a fine job tying everything up in a way that's both logical and dramatically engaging. -

I won't argue the Geezer's point here, but Mirror Mirror is tremendous fun. I find it vastly entertaining.
As with all my Trek, I don't try to put it under a microscope too much as things tend to fall apart.
But in terms of pleasure, for me it's pure joy. -
