Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe opening scene as shot was different from the opening scene that aired, but it had to be cut for timing reasons. Originally, the episode opens in Kira's quarters, with Kira and Jadzia Dax looking at Ziyal's paintings. Dax points out that Kira still misses Ziyal, to which Kira answers, "I'll get over it. Death and I are old friends." Dax then suggests that Kira bring Death to dinner. They get up and leave the room, and the scene then picks up in the corridor as seen in the finished episode.
- GoofsO'Brien calls Sisko into OPS because someone is attempting to beam into OPS, but no one prepares for this unknown and unauthorized person by having weapons ready.
- Quotes
[first lines]
Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: What about Captain Boday?
Major Kira: Captain Boday? You want me to bring Captain Boday to your quarters for dinner?
Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: It's just a suggestion.
Major Kira: Well, it's a bad suggestion! Number one, you used to go out with Captain Boday, number two, Worf hates him, and number three, and we've discussed this many times, Captain Boday has a transparent skull.
Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: And you don't like to see a man's brains. -... - What about Doctor Trag'tok? He's intelligent, he has a good physique... and he has a very opaque cranium.
Major Kira: True. But his eye bothers me.
Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: Which one?
Major Kira: The middle one.

This isn't really about the Bajoran religion, other than the fact that they are depicted as kneeling in their temple for an elongated amount of time and have Orbs from the Prophets that have different characteristics, I have participated in services similar to what is shown in this episode sans the Orb. This is probably one of the first times that we get to see the actual Bajoran service from inside the temple. So that makes at least that aspect of this episode relatively important, it was something we had never seen before.
The other story, about Bariel Antos, brings a person from the alternate universe into the prime universe, which is a switch from how it usually happens.
At first, we want to believe his story, and his reasons for wanting to stay in the prime 'verse.
Until we hear from Quark- A person who associates with criminals and low lifes, he definitely would recognize one of his own.
And he does. But the problem is, Kira does not want to believe this because of course, it is coming from Quark.
This episode is important in that it shows how a person from the alternate universe who is basically scum can see themselves reflected in the mirror of the prime universe, therefore causing some of that scum and villainy to come off.
My favorite part of this is the dinner with Worf and Dax. This particular Bariel is as good as Rom at being a pickpocket.
Regardless, I enjoyed an episode about the mirror universe, even though they don't really go there. I had originally thought that there were only four basic mirror episodes in deep space nine, this episode makes five. It is a nice Interlude. Unfortunately, it presented opportunities that could have been abused later, but we only got one more mirror episode and Antos was not present.
And we have to remember, it is easier for civilized men to behave like barbarians than it is for barbarians to behave like civilized men. Unless, of course, they are the Intendant, or, Captain Gabriel Lorca- A certain type of deviousness might be usable to fool people in the prime universe. And, of course, we see that happen as well.
But when it comes down to it, my primary motivation for writing this right now is that I thought the Bajoran temple would be an uncomfortable place to kneel for and unspecified (aka long) amount of time.
