It's been decades since I've seen it. It's on Netflix. Season 2, Episode 4.

Not just "evil Kirk(tm)" and Spock in a goatee.  The whole Trek'verse "United Federation of Planets" in MM was an Evil Empire.

Hence my expectation that the Dresdenverse "White Council" will be much more Sith-y than otherwise.

I am kinda-sorta thinking that Harry-prime will use the out-in-the-open evil (since nobody is hiding it) to figure out some of what the Black Council / Circle / etc are hiding.
 

Kindler:
I'm not sure the White Council could've gone full black hat in twelvish years.

In fact, I think it very well might have been destroyed in the Mirrorverse. So, say, the one decision Harry makes in Grave Peril means that he didn't kick off the war with the Red Court that early. The Reds were already plotting for a war, right? The issue was they didn't have enough time to prepare properly for a decapitating strike. So, instead of Harry making them show their hand early, they bide their time for ten years, and (around Small Favor/Changes) they hit the White Council with everything they've got. Peabody would've had years to work on his mind control plan to make sure the WC was totally unprepared, too. We know that a forewarned White Council still lost one of their strongholds at Archangel, so one caught by surprise may have been totally overrun.

That would certainly remove one of the obstacles for Harry going bad. I recall a few times Harry doesn't take a course of action because the White Council would kill him if he does it. If there's no White Council (or it's a devastated shell of its former self with barely enough influence to still have name recognition), then, well...

I want there to be more about the inner workings of the white council b/c I don't think we've seen enough and it's time Harry got to see it too. I think it'd be helpful knowledge for him when the other council members bite it in the peace talks.
You know, I've never thought about the council itself being gone in the mirror-verse but that's scary possible with the red court and what follows good and bad. I like that idea for more than the black hat one.
I'm still thinking Eb will die, just not when. Tho I'm liking the idea or Carlos or Anastasia sying, as much as I love them.

Bad Alias:
I kind of want Eb to live just to buck the whole "well, in the 'hero's journey, the mentor has to die'" thing. That's not even really the trope. The idea is that the mentor can't walk the hero through everything, otherwise the mentor is the hero. Death is just a lazy way of accomplishing it. Technically, every character who rightfully tells Harry off, offers him advice, or gives him what he needs to finish his journey fits the mentor roll in the hero's journey. Hell, the mentor can even be an object necessary to finish the journey. The concept is so broad that it is probably meaningless.
