Starting at about 00:25, this scene is redone shot-for-shot and line-for-line at the beginning of "Fairest of Them All" (Star Trek Continues) It's an actual sequel to "Mirror Mirror" showing what happens back in the parallel universe when Evil Kirk & Company return. If you have not seen any Star Trek Continues, you're in for a real treat!! Vic Mignona who portrays Kirk was/is the Director of STC. Remember, he's playing Kirk, so he has to channel Shatner to some extent! Todd Haberkorn is able to capture Nimoy's Spock, yet at the same time, make the Character his own! Haberkorn is the absolute best Spock aside from Leonard Nimoy himself. Scotty is portrayed by....wait for it...Chris Doohan!! You read that right! James Doohan's Son!! Sulu is portrayed wonderfully by the late Grant Imihara (RIP) I can't remember his name but the Chekov actor is fantastic as well! The Character of "Smith" from "Where no Man has been before" returns played by the Gorgeous Kipleigh Brown. Uhura's (Kim Stinger) relief officer "Lt. Palmer is also there. There's a new character, Dr.McKenna who is the Ship's counsellor played by Michelle Specht. Finally, there's a Head of Security who has a bionic right forearm! There are also quite a few Trek Alumni guests as well! Micheal Forrest, John DeLancie and others. I could go on and on...but don't take my word for it!
