“Maybe it’s a fairy tale he made up, but it started me thinking
how each of us might have turned out, had history been just
a little different. I wanted him to take me with him because,
whatever it’s like where he’s from, it’s gotta be better than
this. There’s got to be something better than this.”
I bet they can replicate shamrock shakes on that runabout!
Bashir, shut up. You’re messing with Kira’s meditation.
Grr. Argh. :mad:
OK it is kind of sad(?) that I know what bellows breath is now.
Kling-on the runabout!
Awkward camera angles there. Must be a tiny set.
Increases the energy flow.
Ah but the way I learned it in yoga was to do the in breath and then the short exhalations. Bashir’s got it backwards!
MUWAHAHAHA omg these camera angles
The Intendant is a great character and would be extremely intimidating if it wasn’t for her tinfoil tiara.
They can’t make it clear that altKira is evil because she would look ridiculous with a goatee. So all-black and a crown it is. 
“What is your designation?”
The Intendant is Borg! :eek:
They could have done something with the hair. She could rock a bangin’ mohawk.
So this isn’t the same Mirror universe as the Terran Empire, is it?
Not gonna lie, watching Bashir get smacked around makes me happy.
From Memory Alpha
The Intendant reveals to Kira that almost a century ago, a human named James T. Kirk accidentally traded places with his mirror universe Terran counterpart and drastically altered the course of history on this side.
At the time of the switch, the Terran Empire was barbaric but strong. While in the mirror universe, Kirk met a Vulcan named Spock and had what the Intendant calls a “profound influence” on him. Spock preached peaceful reforms after “our” Kirk left, rising to commander in chief of the Empire in the process of doing so; however, once he had completed his reforms, the Empire was too weak to defend itself from the newly-formed Klingon-Cardassian Alliance. Kira wonders how Bajor fits into the picture. The Intendant explains that the planet had been occupied by the Terrans for decades when the Empire fell. Upon becoming free, it petitioned for entry into the Alliance and became “quite an influential member” in later years. Her story finished, the Intendant wonders if the other side is similar at all.
Obviously. Like the Queen, there are many copies (and just like the Cylons).
Yeah this episode is all about… different… camera angles
So I see, now. 
And now I’m to the part where altKira actually explains this.
P.S. I love altKira’s postures
The best Mirror Universe storyline is the one they did on Enterprise that showed how the universes diverged - besides the orginal “Mirror, Mirror” of course.
