Summary

There are evil whales inStar Trek : Prodigyseason 2 , so I thinkStar Trek IV : The Voyage Homemust have somehow happened in the Mirror Universe . pen by Erin McNamara and direct by Ruolin Li , " Cracked Mirror " is one of the standout episodes ofStar Trek : Prodigyseason 2 . Trying to reunite with the USS Voyager - A , the young Starfleet wannabee of the USS Protostar and Captain Chakotay ( Robert Beltran ) unknowingly shift though unlike alternating world , among them the dreaded Mirror Universe - where there is anevil humpback whale engage the ISS Voyager - A ’s Cetacean Ops .

kyphosis giant were extinct byStar Trek ’s 23rd century until Admiral James T. Kirk ( William Shatner ) and the former crew of the USS Enterprise prison term - traveled to 1986 San Francisco in the Leonard Nimoy - directedStar Trek IV : The Voyage Home . Kirk and friends bring two humpback whale heavyweight , George and Gracie , back to the future . Dr. Gillian Taylor ( Catherine Hicks ) , a Cetacean life scientist , alternate to the hereafter with Kirk to care for George and Gracie . A century later , inStar Trek : Prodigyseason 2 , Gillian , the humpback heavyweight serving in the USS Voyager - A ’s Cetacean Ops , is adescendant of George and Gracieand isnamed after Dr. Gillian Taylor .

Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home Must Have Happened In The Mirror Universe

“Admiral, there be evil whales here?”

Here ’s why I thinkStar Trek IV : The Voyage Homehappened in the Mirror Universe : If humpback giant were hunt to extermination inStar Trek ’s Prime Timeline , then there is no way of life that would n’t also be the case in the Mirror Universe . The denizen of Mirror Earth are wild , duplicitous , traitorous , and twist on conquest . Before the Terran Empire ever surface , Megaptera novaeangliae whales must have also been wiped out from Earth ’s oceans . And , if that was the event , then the Mirror version of Admiral Kirk must have also journey to 1986 San Francisco and brought two humpback whale , along with the Mirror Dr. Gillian Taylor , to the late 23rd one C .

Some version of Star Trek IV must have bring humpback whales to the Mirror Universe ’s twenty-third hundred .

IfStar Trek IV : The Voyage Homedid happen in the Mirror Universe , I do n’t think upshot transpired the fashion they did Leonard Nimoy ’s picture show . A giant investigation still must have endanger Earth , necessitating time travel and humpback giant retrieval , and Spock ( Leonard Nimoy ) belike still joined them because the Vulcan was needed to calculatetime locomote via the slingshot result . But maybe the Mirror Chekov ( Walter Koenig ) died in 1986 whereas the Prime Chekov was deliver from a hospital . And perhaps Admiral Kirk abduct Mirror Gillian Taylor instead of Prime Gillian altruistically choosing to go to the futurity . disregardless , some version ofStar Trek IVmust have brought humpback whales to the Mirror Universe ’s 23rd 100 .

Star Trek: Prodigy & Discovery Updated Mirror Universe History

Star Trek delivered new info about the 23rd and 24th century Mirror Universe

I personally have a go at it the Mirror Universe and its perverted version ofStar Trek , so I ’ve been really please by howStar Trek : Discoveryseason 5 andStar Trek : Prodigyseason 2 have delivered update to the Mirror Universe ’s history . Discoveryseason 5 revealed the ISS Enterprise survivedin interdimensional place since the 23rd century , and Captain Michael Burnham ( Sonequa Martin - Green ) bring the starship into the thirty-second century . Burnham and Cleveland Booker ( David Ajala ) also learned that many refugee fled the Mirror Universe aboard the ISS Enterprise and made it toStar Trek ’s Prime Timeline where they made new animation .

Star Trek : Prodigyseason 2 ’s brief raid into the Mirror Universe in " Cracked Mirror " let out that after the defeat of the Klingon - Cardassian Alliance seen inStar Trek : Deep Space Nineseason 7 , the Terran Empire rise up again . The Mirror Admiral Janeway took command of the ISS Voyager - A , with her goateed ally , Mirror Captain Chakotay . With a new Terran Armada , the xenophobicMirror humans returned to their old waysof an earlier era before the reforms instituted by Mirror Spock weakened the Terrans so that they were conquer . Thanks toStar Trek : Prodigy , it look like the Terrans , assist by their evil whales , are once again a power of terror in the beetleweed - and I could n’t be happy about it .
