      Ah, I never watched it, at least partly because of that. It took something whimsical and made it melodramatic (from descriptions I’ve read, at least). That seems more an effect of how it was used in that instance rather than the “plot device” itself.

      That example only shows how shite Discovery is, that it could taint such a timeless trope as the mirror universe. 🤌🏼

        I only responded because of the claim " less than nothing to do with plot". Which is, like it or not, absolutely not true in anyway
