doppelgangers in film and tv!

[such_heights]

So I'm organising some files and such to get a vid project ticking away in the background for later this summer, and I am in search of source! Specifically, I am thinking of making a multi-fandom vid about doppelgangers and clones etc for my 'mirrors and doubles' kink_bingo square. Originally I was going to keep it in Doctor Who, but really, this is one of my faaaaavourite tropes, so why stick to just one show?

Source already on my radar:

- Battlestar Galactica
- Buffy
- Doctor Who
- Farscape
- Fringe
- Sarah Connor Chronicles
- Stargate Atlantis
- The Vampire Diaries

Star Trek too, but I can only think of the Mirror!verse episodes in TOS and DS9 and am probably missing other examples.

So! I am looking for footage that has doppelgangers/clones/evil twins/parallel universe selves/robot copies/holographic projects/any other variants I can't think of interacting with their original selves. Any show/film, any genre, though I will probably lean more towards more fannish media. Bonus points for canonical instances of characters hitting on themselves (thank you in advance for your services to this cause, mirrorverse!Kira!).

Stargate SG:1 does this several times! I actually...have not watched the last half of the show, but from what I've seen and some stuff I've heard about later season, you've got robot doubles, various mirror universes (accessed through an actual physical mirror) whose inhabitants sometimes cross over to the "real" universe, a clone that doesn't actually look like the original because it was clone-grown to a younger age, something from the seasons I've never seen about a Carter made of replicators, and I'm sure there's more stuff I've forgotten or don't know about.

And I KNOW this must have happened in TNG, though I only ever saw a couple dozen episodes but: MUST have happened.

Other other stuff:
1. I'm loathe to go check through Supernatural episodes, but I vaguely remembering hearing about something in S5 or S6 with a future alternate universe. And that episode in s3 where Dean fought with a demon version of himself in a dream.
2. Heroes, you have--in s1/s2 which is all I watched--someone interacting with her alternate personality in mirrors, though they're not physically separate but the camerawork really pushes those mirrored visuals, and then with a shapeshifter taking her form--don't know if that kind of stuff fits your needs. I'm pretty sure there was more shapeshifting going on and given how much of the show I haven't watched, I'd be fairly surprised if there wasn't anything with clones/evil twins/duplicates talking to each other. OH, right, first season has someone meeting himself from the future, that's probably more specifically what you're looking for.
3. Dark Angel--at one point Max fights a younger (ie, doesn't look the same) clone of herself.
4. I don't recall anything from Sanctuary but my memory is poor and I'm ten episodes behind, so: well worth looking into. It's that kind of show.
5. The Justice League episode "A Better World"--haven't seen it in a long time but there's definitely interaction with the evil twins.
6. Don't know the specifics but I KNOW Smallville's done this, probably more than once.

I don't remember any self-flirtation from any of these, alas, but I could be wrong! And a lot of them I haven't even seen! Treasures could await.

Brilliant, thanks very much! Heroes especially, I'd forgotten that future!Hiro plot, that would be great to use.

Aw man, now thinking about future!Hiro is giving me all these feelings. I haven't had feelings about Heroes in years! (Naturally I just deleted my relevant icon a few weeks ago...)
