68Because you're watching the same shot endlessly recycled– ValorumCommented May 3, 2021 at 9:38

18I recall that in "Mirror, Mirror" there's a shot where we see the Mirror Universe Enterprise going right-to-left. This was done by flipping the negative, so it's still the same side of the model we're seeing though.– dennis_vokCommented May 3, 2021 at 10:14

10Yeah, and why is it always "right side up" on the screen when there's no up or down in space?– user14111Commented May 3, 2021 at 10:15

13Furthermore, in addition to @Valorum's main point of recycling stock footage, the reason that the stock footage is left-to-right (and not right-to-left) could be due to the fact that audiences in Western cultures tend to view L2R movement as more positive than R2L. So often you'll see the 'hero' of a movie or tv-show move from left to right and the enemy from right to left.

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Type the name of the science fictional or fantastical work your question is about (Example:
star-wars).For questions not specific to any one work, use concept tags to describe your question (Example:
story-identification).Tagging rules:
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. story-identification), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
