    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The opening title sequence of this two-parter features a different title music and some new footage depicting the history of Human warfare and interstellar domination of the Terran Empire. The original idea was to feature more episodes inside the Mirror Universe, so that this new title sequence could be reused, had "Enterprise" not been canceled.
    • Goofs
      When we first meet the mirror T'Pol, she wears the rank insignia of full Commander. Then, in a subsequent scene with Archer, she has the rank of a Lieutenant Commander, but she was never shown as being demoted.
    • Quotes

      Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: You don't want to end up like me, do ya? I've absorbed enough delta rays to guarantee my grandchildren glow in the dark.

    • Crazy credits
      The opening sequence is replaced with footage of various battles and a different theme song to reflect the fact that this is an alternate universe in which the Terrans are a warlike species.

    By far best intro ever
    The first minutes ... before the intro starts are the best of Trek ever... watch it and enjoy...

    The episode itself is ok... but the first minutes... omg..

    Pitty to see enterprise ending after season 4. If they would have made it in the Netflix/prime area it probably would have had more seasons.

    I watched it during 2001-2005, and watched it again in 2022... it still looks great.. Ok the CGI isn't that advanced as now, but still really enjoyed it a lot.

    Looking forward to Picard season 3 now... and after that maybe my first watch of ds9...

    Oh well the last episode of this season.. rated bad, but it isn't that bad at all.
