Exclusive: "In a Mirror, Darkly" Commentary Podcast

There's almost nothing the Internet can't do these days; the latest function garnering buzz being the "podcast," a TiVo-like application where you can download (or stream if you prefer) and listen to commentaries, broadcasts or other special Internet-only shows at your convenience on a computer or a portable digital player such as the popular iPod.

STARTREK.COM makes its first foray into podcasting with our exclusive "In a Mirror, Darkly" audio commentary featuring episode writer Mike Sussman and the site's editorial director Tim Gaskill.

How it Works
To get the maximum benefit out of your podcast experience, we suggest you take the following steps:

1. Tape or TiVo the episode on UPN this Friday night (please check your local listings for time). We encourage you to watch the episode first...
2. Then download the commentary in either MP3, QuickTime or Windows Media format. Click here for the audio commentary.
3. Replay the episode and simultaneously listen to the commentary, either on your computer or digital media player. We provide cues for the ad breaks, so you should be able to follow along with the episode.

It was a hoot that episode.

• A full-bodied Tholian! Although I thought they animated it pretty badly at some parts.
  
  
• The Defiant!!! That was the best! It was a joy to see another Constitution. Great external and internal shots. I can't wait to see them take it out joyriding next episode. I wonder if this is before or after the "Tholian Web"... I'd guess before.
  
  
• Porthos... vicious thing.
  
  
• The opening credits... "Star Trek Enterprise" gradually changes colour from white to black with a white glow. And seeing all the carnage the ISS Enterprise inflicts at Klingon ships and all... damned funny, if you can savour the irony.

Just wish B&B started Enterprise with this episode. I love the opening theme/credits. No sissy 80's Rod Stewart song.

You mean the Patch Adams theme song?

"It's been a long rooaaad...." ;D

Indeed. I think that was one reason it was cancelled. Lousy theme. Imagine a Trek program dedicated to the early rise of the mirror universe. B&B could screw it up to their black hearts content and it would still be consistent. Best part about it is that all the girls show more skin
