Review : DS9 continues to make a mess of the Mirror Universe. I found most of this unwatchable, although the scene with Quark and Rom carrying the invisible cloaking device was fairly amusing. However, they still don't go far enough with most of the mirror characters, although Mirror Ezri was better than usual (but not quite up to Intendant Kira). Nor have the writers got over their 'lesbian fetish'. Still, the Mirror Universe has been thoroughly ruined since "Crossover". Pointless.

Review : Although I generally like DS9's mirror universe stories, especially season four's "Shattered Mirror", I wasn't too keen on this one. In one of DS9's rare continuity glitches, it royally screws up here. The whole premise revolves around the fact that cloaking devices do not exist in the mirror universe, despite the fact that they have been seen many times in previous MU episodes. The idea that Quark and Rom could sneak aboard General Martok's ship and steal its cloaking device without being stopped and getting their asses kicked is almost laughable, but it happens anyway. Any redeeming features? Well of course performances are at their best as always, and there is some good humor in here, but overall this is still one of DS9's weaker episodes that I'd recommend skipping.

Review : A wonderful cross of the mirror universe and the Ferengi. There are some bad Ferengi episodes, and some bad mirror universe ones, but somehow when you combine them it's a good comedy episode. My only nitpick here is that in "Crossover", you do see some Klingon vessels decloaking. But aside from continuity error, this was a nice, light episode. Like "Badda-Bing, Badda-Bang" and "Take me Out to the Holosuite", a break from the darker and gloomier aspects of the war.

Review : A pretty exciting episode.....with some MAJOR flaws, but still, fun to watch. I have to honestly say that I agree. With the fact that the Klingons didn't seem to know how to operate cloaking devices (excuse the language), why the HELL did they have them in "Through the Looking Glass?" Still, pretty fun to watch.
