This week on PodCast Them Down, we continue our Star Trek TOS Metal Rewatch, beaming down into the twisted reality of S2E04 "Mirror, Mirror." Imagine the Enterprise, but a vessel of brutal conquest, where a merciless Kirk rules and Spock sports a goatee that screams cold ambition. Witness familiar heroes warped into terrifying villains in a universe where survival means ruthless dominance. Tune in as we dissect the dark heart of the Terran Empire and explore just how metal a universe of agony booths and casual executions can be. Prepare for a descent into sci-fi darkness you won't forget.#PodCastThemDown #StarTrekTOS #MirrorMirror #TerranEmpire #StarTrek #MetalPodcastPODCAST THEM DOWNhttps://linktr.ee/pctdhttps://open.spotify.com/show/1iLWQaU7M9z18yCgR7dodF
