Let us take a moment to engage in a happy dance, because this is the last mirror universe episode I will have to suffer through. Rejoice, loyal Trekkies! Rejoice!Even being a Quark/Rom-centric episode cannot save “The Emperor’s New Cloak’ from mediocrity. He two have to hand over a cloaking device to the alien alliance of the mirror universe as ransom for the kidnapped Grand Nagus. The two succeed in rescuing the Grand Nagus while also helping the Terrans overthrow the Regent.
I found it odd Vic Fontaine and Ezri Tegan would just so happen to be characters in the mirror universe at this time. I suppose it should not, since it has be demonstrated in the past new characters pop up in both universes at relatively the same time. I think I am just more inclined to find fault since I despise these mirror universe stories.
By the way, did the empire not already get cloaking technology in ’Through the Looking Glass?” Was that not the whole plot of that episode?
Bah. I do not care. I will never, ever have to sit through another oe of these travesties again! Whoo hoo!
