The ending was brilliant!
August 19, 2019
The first story involves Where No Man Has Gone Before. This time the Enterprise picks up a signal from the planet where Gary Mitchell fought Kirk. They go there and get attacked by some kind of energy. There's a recap of what happened in the original episode and they find out exactly what happened to Mitchell.
The question is does Mitchell still want to kill Kirk or is there any way to settle things peacefully.
The second story involves a transporter problem and the Mirror Spock ends up on the Enterprise (thus continuing the Mirror, Mirror story.) Complicating matters is the fact that the mirror universe Kirk ends up in the Star Trek universe and is working with the Klingons. So not only does Kirk have to figure out what to do with mirror Spock but he also has to figure out how the handle the mirror Kirk/Klingon problem.
The third story has the Enterprise coming near the galactic core and finding a planet that the Enterprise has crashed into. Somehow. Then they find out there are some people there that are alive. So is the Enterprise doomed to crash into the planet and set everything into motion (again?) or is there some way for it to escape?
The fourth story explains what happened to Yeoman Rand and why she did not keep appearing in the television series.

This is a pretty good follow up to the Mirror, Mirror episode. It was a good solid three from me, but the ending put it over the top. Just read it for the ending. Seriously.

Now this was fun.
And well done on the selection and arrangement of the images.
I did not expect this to work as well as it did.

Excellent follow up to Mirror,Mirror.

Byrne works wonders with using manipulated footage from the three seasons of Trek to create "panels" to serve his new stories set during the five year mission of the Enterprise. A solid sequel to Jerome Bixby's episode "Mirror, Mirror," with a few surprises in story for fans.
