Standard Orbit: A Star Trek Original Series Podcast
86: The Defiant Ones

Enterprise: “In A Mirror Darkly” with Norman Lao.

When the producers of ​Enterprise​ decided to do a Mirror Universe episode in their final season, they went all out and made it a sequel AND prequel to two different episodes of ​The Original Series​. In this episode of ​Standard Orbit​, Drew and Mike are joined by Norman Lao from ​Warp Five​ to discuss the cross over between the two shows. How were they allowed to spend so much money on a show they knew wasn't coming back? Was using a bunch of that money to CGI some of the TOS aliens a wise choice? Are Mirror episodes even worth it to begin with? Find out what everyone thinks about these and more in this crossed over episode!
