Mirror Universe count[]

Do we really need a "this is the nth episode set in the mirror universe" count for every single episode entry? It's too long and boring and cumbersome to add this to every description, especially with the "It could also be considered the xth mirror universe episode". I mean, it COULD be the 24th if it rains tomorrow... I think it might be better to add a tag or category link here to a list of all MU episodes. --2003:E3:3BE1:3901:5D0A:3BD6:134D:2B79 21:24, January 17, 2018 (UTC)

I must agree that there are enough mirror universe episodes that it doesn't need to be specifically called out by number. The same goes for not having "mirror" in the title. 31dot (talk) 22:19, January 17, 2018 (UTC)

I went ahead and removed the following info from the background section:

This is the eleventh episode to feature the "mirror universe", which was first seen in TOS: "Mirror, Mirror". The Star Trek: Enterprise two-parter "In A Mirror, Darkly" and "In A Mirror, Darkly, Part II" were the last mirror universe episodes to air prior to this installment. Technically, however, this could be considered the twelfth episode set in that universe based on the "In a Mirror, Darkly" two-parter connecting the TOS episode "The Tholian Web" into the mirror universe (revealing the fate of the USS Defiant, which was originally featured in that original series episode). It could also be considered the thirteenth mirror universe episode if you include "Into the Forest I Go", which did show the mirror universe at the end very briefly, albeit not by name.
This episode is one of seven not to have the words "mirror" or "glass" in the title despite being set in the mirror universe. The first four were the DS9 mirror episodes "Crossover" (the first mirror universe episode in DS9), "Resurrection", and "The Emperor's New Cloak" (the latter of which happened to be the last of the DS9 mirror universe stories), "Despite Yourself" and "The Wolf Inside".

Feel free to put it back if you really miss it. ;) -- Renegade54 (talk) 00:17, January 18, 2018 (UTC)
