Best episode of the series!

Warning: Spoilers
When Star Trek had a good story the results were golden! Mirror, Mirror, in my opinion, is the best episode of the series. Here is why: The story the Captain, Bones, etc through a transporter malfunction puts the crew in a reverse evil universe. A fascinating and riveting episode where the Enterprise tortures crew members, extorts other planets, Sulu has a scar on his face. How will the crew get back? There is a logical Spock except with a beard who is the same alternate on the evil enterprise. All the evil Spock wants is the evil captain back. Kirk adds a logical argument that the Empire will not last to Spock before the exit to the parallel universe. The mix of being lost in a evil world, to the develop of alternate characters creates a slow building uneasy tension. 10 out of 10 stars.
