Notes

• A direct sequel to the TOS episode “Mirror, Mirror“. There would be four other DS9 episodes in the Mirror universe.  They are: “Through the Looking Glass“, “Shattered Mirror“, “Resurrection“, & “The Emperor’s New Cloak“.
• The events past the end of TOS’ ‘Mirror Mirror’ are detailed here by Kira’s Mirror universe counterpart – even calling out James T. Kirk by name.
• Worf was supposed to appear here, but Michael Dorn was busy with the TNG finale at the time. His lines were given to Garak, and what was supposed to be Garak was then given to a new character of Telok.
• The only DS9 Mirror Universe episode where the crossover was made through the wormhole.  All the others are something to do with a transporter.
• There are not “Rules of Acquisition” in this universe, but Odo has “Rules of Obedience”.  Only one is elaborated here: #14 – “No jokes”.
