  • Doesn’t Live Up To Its Potential

    While probably very nice people, Peter and Lisa have zero chemistry, nor the ability to elevate a lousy guest into a decent episode. In my opinion, it’s time to either experiment with new hosts, or mercifully pull the plug. “The Enterprise Incidents” takes a similar concept and does far more with it.

  • Inconsistent

    Sometimes presents an interesting commentary with memories associated with the production of the episode from the guest.

    Other times the guests don’t seem prepared.

    In the most recent episode the guest didn’t even know they were going to be watching the episode.

    I tuned out because the conversation turned into a discussion of the guest’s views on politics and religion.

    I was hoping for a discussion of his memories directing the episode.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

STLV Rewind - Enterprise In a Mirror Darkly 20th Anniversary Panel
Q: How did you approach updating the mirror aesthetic for high-definition and modern production values while keeping the spirit of the original?
They redressed the NX-01 and other visuals with modern materials, created new lighting and set pieces that echoed the original mirrors, and used a balance of practical and digital effects to maintain the feel without betraying the budget or production realities of the era.
STLV Rewind - Enterprise In a Mirror Darkly 20th Anniversary Panel
Q: Why was Shatner not part of the project as originally envisioned, and how did that affect the final scripts?
The producers wanted William Shatner for a two-parter, but it didn't come together due to scheduling and budget constraints; ultimately the writers focused on other Mirror Universe elements and tie-ins, which nonetheless allowed a strong two-part episode.
STLV Rewind - Enterprise In a Mirror Darkly 20th Anniversary Panel
Q: What was the biggest production challenge in recreating the classic bridge and other sets for the mirror universe two-parter?
The team leaned heavily on Herman Zimmerman's production department and the art department; they reused and mapped out existing sets, built new sections where needed, and relied on careful lighting and retrofitting to keep the look authentic while staying within budget.
