Star Trek: Discovery 3.10 Review: Ups And Downs From Terra Firma, Part 2

The opening credits go through a change this week and, unfortunately, it's a little bit pointless. Evoking memories of parallel episodes of Fringe, the colours in the credits are inverted. While Discovery itself remains the same (it experienced no such refit in the Mirror Universe), the combadges and dot-7s remain.

It is effectively a negative image of the usual credits, flipped upside down and recoloured. In this post-Game of Thrones age where the opening credits to a show are an event in themselves, this feels like a huge, missed opportunity.

Star Trek: Enterprise, in the fourth season, had two episodes set entirely in the Mirror Universe. In A Mirror, Darkly used an entirely new opening credits sequence, along with a new theme tune. The existence of this opening makes the Discovery opening all the more disappointing - it would have been such a simple change. If the will was there to do something different, why not push it a little further?
