038. Diagnosis

Mirrors give you a reflected image. Shocking news, I hope you were sitting when you read that.

Why can't we see this Mirror City? Where is the mirror? Looks like all the good questions are going to go unanswered. The Lewis Carrol mirror world hopping has scientifically inaccurate for several reasons. First being that it should in all rights be impossible.  Let's suspend that belief because we have to. Thanks, Deities. This is another candle on your alter of Lacks Sense.

What does not makes even less sense is the nature of what has been skewed especially if it is supposed to be mirrored.

A few examples:

Originally       New State of Being     Specification
FBI Agent -> Evil Sexy FBI Agent= Personality Reversal [Morals] you can't SEE morals.
Lady Knight-> Sexy Vampire= State of Being + Moral Alteration  worst of both worlds
Boy Wizard-> Evil Boy Wizard=Personality Reversal [Morals + Values] change that can't be seen, the effects of course can.
Plush Lion-> Gay Plush Lion=Personality Reveral [Sexual Preference] You can't see gender preference.
Fairy Princess= Fairy Princess= Personality Reversal [Loose Morals] Giselle, you can't be evil. That's just the truth of it.
Male Escort-> Misogynist= Personality Reversal [Gained Common Sense] Nothing wrong here, actually.

Results vary on a case to case basis. Most changes being internal, possibly neurological. While things are "reflected" that doesn't make them the very same subject from the beginning. Doctor and dentist should not be interchangeable. Who the hell writes these things?

You're taking a rather literal interpretation of "reflection," aren't you?

I've been here three days and I can tell that's not a very good idea in this place.

It's just an observation, mind you.

A reflection should be opposite. A spiritual opposite shouldn't be a visible mirror world land place.

Have you considered seeing a dermatologist or was your dad just a stegosaurus? Just an observation.

I take it you think these...spiritual opposites shouldn't exist at all. You would have a point there, I must admit.

You're not exactly handsome by Cardassian standards, yourself, I'm sorry to say.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

Of course I'm right.

I'd rather not be handsome by Cardassian standards if it meant I should be extinct.

I never said you were right. There's a difference between having a point and being right. I'm not sure if anyone has ever explained that to you, Mister...?

We're nowhere near extinct. It's a pity you've never had the fortune to meet one of us before.

If I have a point and you recognize it, that generally means that you agree to an extent. That or you're out for some ego stroking before making friends, if that's the case no thanks.

I wouldn't call it a pity. Unless you have paper bags where you come from.

Sometimes I wonder how your species ever got off its planet.

Space travel. Cease to wonder.
