[DS9] Through the Looking Glass

[DS9] Season 3, Episode 19: Through the Looking Glass

Through the Looking GlassRating: 3

This is a fun episode! Leave it to Deep Space Nine to add some complexity to mirror-universe stories, which started out being 100% silliness. Not that this episode is silliness-free, or that the mirror universe episodes ever become really good, but they do get a lot more interesting starting with “Through The Looking Glass”.
