Just the other day I watched a neat video by the Feral Historian in which he argued the theory that the Mirror Universe is not actually a traditional “alternate timeline” that diverged at a particular point in history and just developed differently from there. He argues that it’s a more amorphous psychoactive kind of place that is “recreated” whenever visitors enter it based on those visitors themselves. I rather liked it.
Woah awesome. Watching it now and this guy could have been on Star Trek, damn! He’d fit right in.
He does analyses of stuff from all sorts of different sci-fi, I really like him.
Prime timeline Vic was never actually a hologram. Just a holosuite employee with a transporter and good reflexes.
I always thought he was supposed to be Felix, julians friend who wrote the holo program originally
That’s a distinct possibility. Mirror!Bashir calls him Fontaine, but it could be an alias. It’s also possible that Mirror!Fontaine is an android.
I always thought that Felix modeled the hologram Vic off of a friend of his named Vic Fontaine. So, in the Mirror Universe, the Vic we see is the original friend.
You mean just the actual shape, like the face for the doctor using Zimmermans? That’s plausible.
Yep! Exactly!
Even in hologram form in the “normal” universe, he was unusually self-aware.
Remember the TNG episode with those 20th century frozen people? It’s like that, but mirror universe style.
