Memorable quotes[]

"Oh, looks like someone's ready to be sent to the admiral's ready room."

- Dal, teasing Chakotay on cleaning himself up to face Janeway

"Pinch me. I'm seeing double."
"When did you get a twin?"
"With whiskers."
"What nightmare are we in now?"
"The mirror universe."

- Mirror Chakotay, Dal, Jankom, Gwyn, and Chakotay, after the crew lands in a very unfriendly place

"This is the last dimension I wanted to visit."
"You know this place?"
"Starfleet's had run-ins with the mirror universe before. And it's always bad news."
"Mirror, like a reflection?"
"An opposite reflection. What's this place have to do with the Protostar?"
"We can figure that out once we escape. This dark universe is dangerous. Humanity is bent on galactic conquest instead of exploration. And the locals are anything but friendly."

- Chakotay, Jankom, Dal, and Gwyn, about the mirror universe

"Oh, my stars! My young proteges. But you were gone. How? Captain Chakotay, I never thought I'd see you again."
"Good to see you, Doc."
"Chakotay?"
"Is it really you?"
"Oh, what's on your face?"
"I've thought about this moment for what feels like an eternity. But now, it's like I never left."
"Because you're home."

- The Doctor, Chakotay, and Janeway, reunited at last

"You went to the mirror universe?"
"You're not gonna believe this. Even the whales were evil!"

- Noum and Jankom

"Whatever our reality throws at us, I'm glad I'm in this one with you."
"Me too."

- Dal and Gwyn
