Resurrection

After a few excellent episodes we go back to filler. I'm not a fan of the mirror universe in DS9.

The Mirror episodes were good the first time or two, but now they're just tedious.,There is also the rificulous premise of letting this individual from the looking glass walk around the station unhindered. The guy from the evil universe just shows up and no one even bothers to question his motives.

And let's talk about Kira. She's a major in the Bajoran army, a former member of the resistance. She didn't get there by letting her guard down with someone she's just met.

Too much of this episode was just too convenient. It's as if the writers all went on strike and left the writing to some inexperienced interns.

An identical personage from the alternate universe enters the space station. He looks exactly like Kira's former lover and she develops a new relationship with the duplicate. This is dragged on into the Bajoran religion which intrigues this guy. But it's hard to remove yourself from what you have become. The whole thing was dull and rather pointless.

...the mirror universe version of Bareil shows up on DS9 and although Kira says, he knows that this is not the Bareil she fell in love with, she falls in love with mirror Bareil of course right away. I think most viewers wanted to shake and slap Kira and tell her, that something smells wrong here and she should take care. But nope, Kira is straight up full on romance mode again and doesn't see the obvious. Quark has to tell her, that this Bareil has a dark side and he is most likely about to steal an orb from the shrine.

Also, why can this guy beam directly into ops and no one points a phaser at this unknown intruder although the sensors indicated before that someone from an unknown location is about to beam in? And how comes the sensors don't pick up the signal of evil mirror universe Kira, who has also beamed on the station?

I find it quite strange, too, that people from the mirror universe can beam to the other side and can just walk around freely without being monitored. By now everyone should know, that a lot of tricks and deception is happening on the other side. I also think, the concept of characters from both universes travelling back and forth and interacting with each other has been pushed too far. It does not seem to be special anymore. Also, if it is so easy to beam over to the other side, it would most likely be abused by lots of species. Travel to the other universe and exploit their ressources for example. The mirror universe encounters should just have been a one-time thing and not a recurring theme. Especially since some mirror universe character are just goofy copies of the original characters, like this joke of a mirror universe Kira in her leather dress or mirror universe Bashir.

We just started this one and NO ONE is going to understand this episode off the BAT we discovered.

They all lie to themselves and tell themselves it's not that person because they believe their rational mind is the power, is the beacon pointing towards the truth.

When of course in reality we all know the rational mind can be a mans worst enemy....

Feeling is knowing, as it can be no other way.
