    \"Why<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Star Trek: Discovery<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0<\/strong>season 5, episode 5, “Mirrors”, reintroduced the ISS Enterprise, but co-writer Carlos Cisco reveals why\u00a0a cameo by Ethan Peck of\u00a0Star Trek: Strange New Worlds\u00a0<\/em>as the Mirror Universe’s Spock didn’t happen<\/strong>. In “Mirrors”, which was co-written by Cisco and Johanna Lee and directed by Jen McGowan, Captain Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) and Cleveland Booker (David Ajala) find the Mirror Universe’s 23rd-century Starship Enterprise in interdimensional space and pilot it into\u00a0Star Trek’s<\/em>\u00a0Prime Universe 23rd century. However, the ISS Enterprise was abandoned, although a\u00a0plaque told some of the Mirror Universe’s history.<\/p>\n

    In an interview with\u00a0TrekMovie<\/em>,\u00a0Star Trek: Discovery\u00a0<\/em>season 5, episode 5\u00a0co-writer Carlos Cisco says that\u00a0Star Trek: Strange New Worlds<\/em>‘ Ethan Peck appearing in some fashion as the Mirror Universe’s Spock was\u00a0“considered”<\/em>\u00a0but didn’t happen. Cisco speculates that\u00a0“availability issues”<\/em>\u00a0may have been the reason\u00a0<\/strong>Discovery<\/em>\u00a0missed out on Peck playing his goateed Mirror Universe Vulcan doppelganger. Read his quote below:<\/p>\n

    We had considered Ethan [Peck] as Mirror Spock early on but there might have been availability issues, I don\u2019t know.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    Ethan Peck did lend his voice as Spock for several episodes of\u00a0Star Trek: very Short Treks<\/em> .<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    What An Ethan Peck Cameo As Mirror Spock In Star Trek: Discovery Would Have Meant<\/h2>\n

    Star Trek: Discovery reveals what happened to Mirror Spock<\/h3>\n

    No Ethan Peck cameo as Mirror Spock in\u00a0Star Trek: Discovery<\/em>\u00a0season 5, episode 5 is, unfortunately, a missed opportunity. Captain Burnham did think of Spock when she was on the\u00a0bridge of the ISS Enterprise.\u00a0Michael told Cleveland Booker that she never met Spock’s Mirror Universe counterpart,<\/strong>\u00a0adding that he was\u00a0“probably just as ruthless”<\/em>\u00a0as everyone else in the alternate reality. Ethan Peck appearing either as a hologram or simply via his voice would been a powerful moment for Burnham and for viewers, although perhaps it also would have distracted from Michael’s mission of retrieving the next clue to the Progenitors’ treasure from L’ak (Elias Toufexis) and Moll (Eve Harlow).<\/p>\n

    \n

    Michael Burnham saw footage of the older Ambassador Spock (Leonard Nimoy) in the 24th century in the\u00a0Star Trek: Discovery<\/em>\u00a0season 3 episode, “Unification III.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    Star Trek: Discovery\u00a0<\/em>season 5, episode 5 did reveal the\u00a0fate of the Mirror Universe’s Spock. After meeting the Prime Universe’s Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner) in\u00a0Star Trek: The Original Series<\/em>\u00a0“Mirror, Mirror”, Spock followed Kirk’s counsel to become High Chancellor and institute reforms to prevent the inevitable collapse of the Terran Empire. Unfortunately,\u00a0Spock’s reforms were perceived as weakness and the Vulcan High Chancellor was assassinated.\u00a0<\/strong>While\u00a0Star Trek: Discovery<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0season 5 wasn’t originally planned as the final season, not getting Ethan Peck to cameo as Mirror Spock is a shame as, in retrospect, it would have been the last chance for a reunion, of sorts, between Captain Burnham and Spock.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
