"In a Mirror, Darkly, Part II" Welcomes Somewhat Familiar Faces and TOS Tie-In (SPOILERS)

Features

By Steve Krutzler / 19:46, 18 January 2005 / Enterprise

The nineteenth episode of STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE's fourth season will continue the story begun with "In a Mirror, Darkly," and create another link between ENTERPRISE and the original STAR TREK series. In Part I (as previously reported), a Mirror Universe adventure unfolds when we glimpse the moment of first contact with Vulcans taking a vicious turn, entirely different from the history we've seen in the feature film FIRST CONTACT.

In part two of the story, we encounter a mirror version of our NX-01 crew. Archer doesn't have a command of his own in this universe, but together with his fellow cruel shipmates, he captures a vessel known as the "Defiant" -- the Federation starship lost in "The Tholian Web", quite possibly. In the famous TOS episode, the U.S.S. Defiant disappears into "interspace" after phasing between dimensions for a few hours. Coto mentioned earlier today (story) that a "1701-class Federation starship" would make an appearance this season, and this episode will likely involve replicas of classic TOS sets.

Mayweather and Archer torture an alien prisoner to gain information about the location of a stowaway -- a Gorn -- before later meeting up with another Empire starship, the Avenger. The Avenger's science officer is a submissive 'Lieutenant Commander Soval' and after a firefight, Archer and the Defiant rendevezous with the Avenger, where Archer prods her commander for a battlefield commission. It seems the Enterprise in this universe was commanded by 'Captain Forrest', and their fate remains unknown at this time.

This information is only preliminary and should be treated as rumor until confirmed by official channels.

Small "b" for Shakespeare's Macbeth.

I thought it would be cool to show the mirror universe in the immediate post-First Contact time frame, when the Enterprise crew would not yet be present. Then perhaps end it either with "to be continued..." and have Part II bring in the alternate Enterprisers. Or have the alternate Enterprisers be in the final scene of Part I.
