I've been reading F. Scott Fitzgerald short stories and re-re-re-rewatching TOS episodes lately and the short stories have really made me appreciate the suspension of disbelief to appreciate an episode in 'Trek. The time travel one with the jet pilot, where they go to all these efforts to protect the timeline and then it turns out all they have to do is briefly travel back in time while they're going back to the future and it will erase everyone's memory and undo things like the jet being destroyed by the tractor beam.
Mirror, Mirror the other night. Fun episode. Very enjoyable. But first off, how is it that the humans were transported from their respective realities but their clothes were not? Somehow the clothes was transported to the right reality and the landing party just happened to be in the right position to be wearing them? Rather than manage a whole elaborate ploy to get back, why not just come clean? Yes, it would've been risky because maybe some people would've decided they liked being rid of Mirror Kirk, but not much more risky than sneaking around to fix things. More importantly back in the regular universe why is Spock just sitting on his ass? They pretty quickly figured out what happened. Why didn't they just figure out how to get the captain back. They probably could've banged it out in 20 minutes. Kirk's about to get killed by Checkov and his henchmen and they all beam back to their reality. Instead Spock just farts around and waits for Kirk to fix things.
