Thanks for the silly-surreal story. Glad you didn’t get your head bashed in.
Playing against type is what I love about a lot of the Mirror Universe episodes. Particularly DS9, where Sisko is manic as all hell and Kira seduces then chews the scenery. Gives the cast a bit of a stretch and reprieve from the established characters in the best way.
Probably a highly unpopular opinion, but I can’t stand the mirror universe episodes. The only exception was the one with James Darren (Vic Fontaine), being a real person and a freedom fighter instead of being a hologram, only to get shot on the spot after some honest confusion. ^^
In acting I just loved very different roles / job assignments. One day you’re awfully sweet and kind, the next week you’re a despicable piece of human garbage.
Thinking about it now, maybe I’ll get back into it since I’m officially retiring from music by the end of the year due to health issues with one of my knees (professional drummer gal). But acting would only be a side gig for fun. I’ll end up with a boring office job again…

Nah. They sucked. I rolled my eyes on the DS9 watchthrough whenever one came up. It’s fun the first time, but in the big picture doesn’t do anything for the storyline.
Which doesn’t mean that the actors weren’t killing it.
Maybe going back into them focusing on the acting could even give me newfound enjoyment of these episodes.
