    I was pretty sick the first time I saw this episode as a teen - all I really remember is they stepped onscreen in those outfits and I spent the next five minutes laughing so hard I started coughing up blood then passed out. My god, the costume design on this one still brings a tear to my eye, what were they thinking.

        It’s straight bonkers where they take this plot…

        spoiler

        In the Mirror Universe, the Terran Empire has regained it’s footing and a galactic power again, led by Admiral Leeta (which I’m still wrapping my head around since the Terran Empire was shown to be very xenophobic). A Terran strike force lead by by Marshall Janeway and a time displace Captain Tilly “Killy” launch a surprise attack on Jupiter Station in search of The Emperor’s Prize, which turns out to be Ilia. The Emperor is none other than Wesley who has used his immense intellect to ascend to the throne. He wanted Ilia to track down the mirror version of V’Ger; C’qer (pronounced Seeker, the ConQuERor VI probe. also referred to as The Other). Emperor Wesley plans to merge with The Other to ascend to godhood, and conquer the Prime universe. He starts by “digitizing” most of our solar system in the prime universe against a combined alliance of Starfleet, Klingons, the Romulan Republic, the Dominion, Cardassian Union, and some specific STO factions. Thanks to Ilia, V’Ger returns to the Sol System to aid, and you battle powered Wesley at the core until Bev gets in his head and talks him down. Then V’Ger & C’Qer, along with Ilia and Wesley go exploring and return all digitized planets and ships to normal space.

    That’s the same episode Wesley was encouraged to go run off and play with the other “children” with hair on their chests.

    I just realized that this episode is basically the more dramatic (and more horny) version of that Parks & Rec episode with Fred Armisen.

    McCoy would have just nuked those assholes, which wouldn’t be an issue because I guarantee he would have pushed Wesley to suicide by then.
