POPSKL POP-UP: Strange New Worlds: A Quality of Mercy / TOS: Balance of Terror

POP-Ups are POPSKL's short form, bite-sized, in the moment responses to anything and everything pop culture that happens to catch their fancies. From TV episodes to movies, movie trailers, comic books and maybe "at convention" moments, be prepared to get commentary on the things they love.

POPSKL will bring their professional creative backgrounds to these lively, thoughtful and spontaneous examinations and sometimes even may have a guest or two along for the ride.

Honestly, this is just an excuse for them to geek out together, so join the fun and the love!

In this episode strategize all the elements of Strange New Worlds episode 10: A Quality of Mercy alongside TPS: Balance of Terror. Comparing and contrasting Kirk and Pike, themes of when you need to be proactive, and Spock eyebrow versus Spock eyebrow, and the Spock run!
