Star Trek: Prodigy
WARNING : This clause contains SPOILERS for Star Trek : Prodigy , season 2 , episode 14 , " Cracked Mirror "
Summary
I ’ve been await for aStar Trek : VoyagerMirror Universe sequence for age , so of course , I ’m shiver thatStar Trek : Prodigyfinally delivered . Since its introduction inStar Trek : The Original Series , the Mirror universe of discourse has become a staple of the franchise , tally a capital layer of machination totheStar Trektimeline . The appeal of seeing the dark side of your best-loved characters is fairly universal , andI’ve always like the fact thatStar Trekfound a mode to make showing those dark English a world without damaging the repute of some of its most popular characters .
As a long - timeVoyagerfan , however , I ’ve also always been sad that the series never had an official Mirror Universe sequence . Voyageris far from the onlyStar Trekseries not to research the Mirror Universe . Star Trek : The Next Generationnever had a Mirror Universe episode , and still did very well for itself for seven seasons . Conversely , some of the best Mirror Universe lore was n’t research until the enfranchisement ’s modern epoch with shows likeStar Trek : Discovery . Still , I always palpate as though not showing the Mirror Universe counterparts ofVoyager ’s cast of characterswas a missed opportunity .
Star Trek : Prodigy co - executive manufacturer Aaron J. Waltke excuse the state of the Mirror Universe in the late 24th one C after Deep Space Nine .
Star Trek: Prodigy Finally Revealed Voyager’s Mirror Universe
Prodigy season 2 featured Mirror Universe Janeway and Chakotay
Luckily , thanks toStar Trek : Prodigyseason 2,Voyager ’s Mirror Universe is a mystery no more . Prodigyseason 2 , sequence 14 , " Cracked Mirror , " in conclusion introduced two Voyager Mirror Universe characters into the enfranchisement , andthe series could n’t have done a good line of work . After the USS Voyager - A was split into different timeline , Prodigy ’s cast of characterscame face to grimace with Mirror Admiral Janeway ( Kate Mulgrew ) and Captain Chakotay ( Robert Beltran ) , pitting themselves and Prime Chakotay against the two darker version in several harrowing scenes .
Prodigyopening the door toVoyager ’s Mirror Universe leaves way for future show to explore other parallelVoyagercharacters , and " Cracked Mirror " left some tantalizing questions about Mirror Janeway and Chakotay .
For me , Mirror Janeway and Chakotay were incredibly fun to view , andeven though they were only included in a few scenes , Prodigy ’s establishment of them was a peachy increase to the serial . Prodigyopening the door toVoyager ’s Mirror Universe lead room for future display to search other parallelVoyagercharacters , and " Cracked Mirror " left some tantalizing questions about Mirror Janeway and Chakotay , such as the extent of their obvious romance or why Mirror Janeway has a Borg implant over one eye , reminiscent of Seven of Nine ( Jeri Ryan ) .
Why Star Trek: Voyager Never Had A Mirror Universe Episode
Voyager never included an official visit to the Mirror Universe
Star Trek : Prodigyseason 2 reveal that after his dabble onVoyager , the Doctor had become a prolific holonovelist since the ship ’s return to Earth .
More probable , however , Voyagersteered clear-cut of the Mirror Universe because it was already being explore in other parts of the dealership . Star Trek : Deep Space Ninehad an on-going Mirror Universe storyline in several episode , explore the universe for the first time sinceStar Trek : TOS . SinceDS9andVoyagerwere broadcast at the same time , andVoyageroften tried to outstrip itself fromDS9 , leave the Mirror Universe to be explored in its babe series would have only made sense . Whatever the understanding , in my opinion , Star Trek : Prodigyhas more than made up for it .
