This marks a great number of star trek journeys into the mirror Universe.
I actually really liked it. Most of the characters are the same aside from the captain and a few security officers.
They really offered it up as a pretty hostile and rutheless Empire of the Federation.
I love that the Vulcans are a people who are offering real resistance to these horrible bastards. They are almost as bad as the Borg in the way that they are portraid.
I think the episode would have been better served by having a few of the members of the crew transported like in the first one, but maybe that would have been derivative?
Either way it turned out to be a really entertaining 2 episodes in a tv series that actually became really good after a couple of sub par seasons.
Honestly I think it could have been better than DS9 (Aside from a few bits it really isn't any better than the others.) Plenty of good episodes, but plenty of bad as well... Good thing there were more good ones than bad for TNG!
