* {{Padding}}: Cool as it is, the whole sequence with the Gorn is pretty pointless to the story.

* {{Padding}}: Cool as it is, the whole sequence with the Gorn is pretty pointless to the story. Apparently it was only included because the writers had been [[AuthorAppeal wanting to bring back the Gorn for a long time]], and this episode finally gave them a chance to do so without violating continuity.

* NightmareFuel: Mirror Archer is a bullying brute like most MirrorUniverse counterpart characters, but he's also constantly fraught with various nervous ticks and even starts hallucinating about his Main Universe counterpart mocking him for not being as successful as he. The guy's not just evil, but insane and evil. If he actually would have taken over the Terran Empire, it's not hard to see how he would become a new Caligula.

* MagnificentBitch: The MirrorUniverse version of Hoshi Sato stands in stark contrast to her reserved Main Universe version as a conniving SocialClimber who seduces men in the Terran Military who can advance her career while being no less important to the mission for her linguistic skills in communicating with hostile aliens. Hoshi supports Archer's mission to recover the ''Defiant'' from the Tholians and helps him to maintain control over the ship, even exposing a plot by T'Pol and other alien members of the crew in time to stop the uprising dead in its tracks. Seducing Archer's bodyguard Mayweather and tricking Archer into [[TamperingWithFoodAndDrink downing a poisoned drink]] while his guard is down, Hoshi emerges the victor out of the continual backstabbing and uses the threat of the ''Defiant'''s advanced weapons systems to declare herself Empress of the Terran Empire.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic:
** [[OrchestralBombing The alternate opening music]], especially for everyone who despised the infamous "Faith of the Heart".
** Mirror Archer's {{leitmotif}}, which consists largely of OminousLatinChanting.



* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: While the remastered TOS episodes provided a taste, we finally get to see what a Constitution-class starship is capable of in combat.

* MagnificentBitch: Mirror!Hoshi, who played the GoldDigger to perfection and let Archer and company do all the dirty work, then took over just like that. That's a power play worthy of [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Azula.]]
