In "Mirror, Mirror," season 1 episode 3 of Star Trek: The Original Series - Fan Favorites, the USS Enterprise is transported to a parallel universe through a malfunction in the ship's transporter. In this new universe, the Enterprise crew finds themselves aboard a ship ruled by an evil and ruthless version of Captain Kirk.

Captain Kirk, along with his crew, must navigate this new universe while trying to find a way back to their own reality.
