Probably the most enjoyable Mirror Universe episode so far, and that's more down to the newer elements than any of the recurring plot points. Notably, Cirroc Lofton is absolutely fantastic here, and managed to effectively pull on my heartstrings as he connects Mirror-Jennifer to his own late mother. Mirror O'Brien is even more fun this time around (pattern suicide!).

The best part, though, is the Mirror Garak/Regent Worf pairing. These guys play off each other with magnificent delight and get all of the episode's best moments. There's some really hilarious stuff in there and they both ham it up in true larger-than-life fashion, which is exactly what the episode needed. As far as I'm concerned, they could have had their own spin off show.

I might be mistaken, but I'm thinking that this may by DS9's first fully fledged extended space battle. It's exciting stuff and put together very well. Lots more of that to look forward to in the future. How great is the Defiant?

We've also had our three main Ferengi characters (Quark, Rom, Nog) killed in each MU episode so far!
