The Mirror Universe.  What is it meant to be?

Listen to this podcast for in-depth discussion of how the Mirror Universe was conceptualized and its canon material expanded upon over the course of the Star Trek franchise from the Original Series to Deep Space Nine and Enterprise to the recent Discovery series.  Your hosts also review the fanon of the Mirror Universe and typical characterizations in general as well as specifically for Kirk, Spock, and McCoy.  And of course we ponder if the McSpirk pairing can survive the "darkness" inherent to their Mirror selves!
