Echoes of FIRST CONTACT Sound Strangely "In a Mirror, Darkly" - First Plot Details (SPOILERS)

Features

By Steve Krutzler / 02:35, 8 January 2005 / Enterprise

STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE producer Manny Coto revealed as 2004 came to a close that the writing staff was working on a mirror universe episode of the series. Coto even claimed that he hoped to change the opening title sequence of the show for the episode and wanted to surprise the audience with the prequel's first visit (so to speak) to the mirror universe first glimpsed in ST:TOS's "Mirror, Mirror" and revisted several times in DEEP SPACE NINE.

In the first plot details made available to TrekWeb for "In a Mirror, Darkly," we are poised to learn stunning details about the storied mirror universe. In fact, the episode establishes that the point of divergence (or at least a significant point) for the alternate universe itself takes place during a landmark historical event in STAR TREK history.

Just as the ENTERPRISE series itself was inspired by the visit to the 21st century in 1996's FIRST CONTACT, according to various interviews, this episode will appropriately postualte a different version of the movie's events that lead to or at least are part of the mirror universe. When Zephram Cochran steps forward to greet the visiting Vulcans, who have set down in Bozeman, Montana in the year 2063, a mob of assembled humans surprisngly rush the Vulcans and raid their ship.

Could this stunning turn of events be the very tangent point that creates the mirror universe, which by the time of TOS, features an aggressive human empire bent on destruction and cruelty? We'll only know for sure when "In a Mirror, Darkly" airs later this year.

Keep in mind that this information is entirely preliminary and should be treated as a rumor.

It sounds like an interesting episode, but its anyone else getting a little tired of stories stemming from First Contact? I mean, not only did it introduce Earth to Vulcan and let the Borg know about humanity, now we're going to find out it caused the Mirror Universe too?? Just because Brannon Braga cowrote the film. As Back to the Future's Doc Brown would say, it seems to be a focal point for the entire space-time continuum. There've got to be more original ideas they can come up with.
