A QUALITY BALANCE OF MERCY & TERROR: This week, our hosts discuss the simply incredible finale for the first season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds: "A Quality of Mercy." They discuss the merits of the episode on its own and as a finale for a new Trek show, but they also cover how it intersects with the original series' first season episode, "Balance of Terror."
