Star Trek har ett pågående motiv i Mirror Universe :
The "mirror universe" is an informal name for a parallel universe first recorded as visited by James T. Kirk and several officers from the USS Enterprise in 2267. This parallel universe coexists with the prime universe on another dimensional plane. The mirror universe was so named because many people and places seemed to be opposites of their characteristics in the prime universe, with numerous good aspects now evil and vice versa, thus "mirror"-like.

Min fråga är: Varför började Star Trek TNG inte spegla universum?
Detta togs upp i en intervju med showrunner Brannon Braga. Kort sagt, de insåg att spegel universet episoden i TOS var en favorit för fansen och ville inte göra något som jämfördes ogynnsamt.
However, there was a specific line they never crossed. In response to a question on why they never did a Next Generation mirror universe episode, Braga responded:
"We were a little frightened at doing it, and doing it badly, and maybe never really figured out what the Next Generation take would have been on it."
