Resurrection – Ft. Clay

The Mirror Universe and Vedek Bariel are brought back to life when the Mirror Universe version of Kira’s long lost love appears on the station. Is he another Mirror Universe character unhappy with his own lot in life, or is he a thief scheming to steal one of Bajor’s most treasured possessions?

Kira is feeling lonely aboard Deep Space 9. The newly married Dax and Worf are inviting her to dinner, but none of her date prospects can meet her exacting standards. Suddenly, the station’s sensors pick up the signal that someone is beaming into Ops.

It’s Vedek Bariel! But wait… Bariel died a few years ago, didn’t he?

It’s true, he did. But this is indeed Bariel – at least a version of him, anyway. And this version is from our favorite alternate dimension, the Mirror Universe.

Resurrection returns to the Mirror Universe with an episode that tries to examine what it means to have a long lost love walk back into your life. But it’s also a heist episode, as Intendant Kira walks into the proceedings halfway through the episode and reveals that the entire thing is a ruse designed to steal a Bajoran Orb and return to the Mirror Universe with a Trek universe WMD.

Resurrection is a frequent target of “worst of” list, and for good reason. The Mirror Universe continues to be trending towards diminishing results, with each successive episode feeling more and more like a tradition rather than being produced because it has something to say. Retreading ground from “Shattered Mirror”, Resurrection has nothing to add to the story. It has less to say, it focuses on a less interesting character, and it ends in such a way that it leaves the audience confused about the point of the entire affair.

In this episode of the podcast, Wes and Clay try to understand the continued existence of the Mirror Universe in DS9. They also break down confusing hunger, Nana Visitor’s orgasmic Intendant, and acting like you just climbed 50+ flights of stairs!
