    100% agreed. They should have forgotten about it after the one TOS episode. I like that episode a lot though.

        Honestly? Queer representation by characters in a universe where everyone is evil is, in some ways, a step backward.

          That shit’s on Berman. Mirror Kira was such a fun character, allowing Nana to chew up the scenery.

            Mirror Kira was fun in that sense, but honestly, I don’t feel like the mirror universe stories added much to DS9 and there are other ways she can show her range.

          Big agree. I also want the option of having evil, edgy queers who aren’t from the mirror universe, but that would only make sense against a backdrop of more representation in general
