In a great mirror universe adventure Sisko must help O'Brien put the finishing touches to a Defiant they have built, you see an Alliance ship is on it's way with an evil Worf as it's Captain. In a greatly over-acted episode we get to see Worf and Sisko go head to head as the Defiant look-a-like goes up against a ship 10 times the size of it. Great plot and top-notch special effects!

If you're looking for a Top 5 DS9 episode, look no further! It all starts when Sisko is lured over to the parallel universe by the mirror Jennifer Sisko, who has taken Jake there. Then, the captain is kidnapped and put to work on getting the Defiant operational in a very tight period of time. Meanwhile, Garak and Worf give the good parts of the show, with the two constantly making remarks, especially thanks to Garak's personality. We also get to see the Intendant (Kira) in one of her best performances.

Then, as the Alliance fleet attacks, the two most daring commanders, Worf and Sisko, fight each other to the death in a duel you won't want to miss.

This episode has great special effects, and I for one never get tired of great space battles in DS9. However, when compared to previous episodes such as "The Way of the Warrior", it pales in comparison. The Alliance sees fit to send at most six ships to try and retake the station, yet in "The Way of the Warrior" a massive Klingon fleet is dispatched to DS9. And isn't Terok Nor supposed to be orbiting Bajor? What happened to the planet?
