Re: SNW S1: A Quality of Mercy

Have watched this one 3x, I like it better each time. I love how it connects Spock/Menagerie and the "debt" he owes to Pike. Anson Mount gets a chance to really shine here and he doesn't disappoint. His future Pike was subtlety different, not as a too obviously "old" Pike but in his attitude and outlook. The tie in to BoT was well done. Loved Pike's "thank God!" when the red alert went off. I thought Kirk was OK, in that this is a Kirk not in command of a Constitution class ship, but a smaller cruiser, so maybe some bitterness in being held back from command of the most prestigious class of Federation ships. My favorite of the season. 4 stars.
