S2E4: Mirror, Mirror

In today's episode, Dana and Dan discuss "Mirror, Mirror." The guys talk about how parallel universes come into contact due to an ion storm which, in turn, creates good and evil duplicates of the Enterprise and everyone on board. Dana and Dan also discuss who Spock, Kirk, McCoy, and Scotty would be if they were the Three Stooges and how evil Spock looks great with his goatee. They also wonder why evil Spock didn't transport Kirk into deep space after Kirk goes on and on and on about evil Spock becoming a force for good (by the way, Dana and Dan would definitely have transported Kirk into the cold depths of deep space...).
