Star Trek Review: ERRAND OF MERCY

Director John Newland's,"ERRAND OF MERCY," is a well made, thoughtful, Sci-Fi adventure.

John Colicos is quite good as the Klingon Commander, Kor. He later went to great fame as a sneaky villain, on "Battlestar Galactica".

Director Newland also hosted the cult TV show, "One Step Beyond". He seems equally at ease, both behind and in front of the camera.

A scene where Kirk and Spock invade a fortress, as Spock calculates their odds of success, is my favorite one in the film. Later it turns out that the Organians had rigged it for them to succeed.

This is the episode that established the Organian Peace Treaty. It was referred to in subsequent episodes, particularly those involving Federation/Klingon conflicts.

"ERRAND OF MERCY" should be rather watchable for most Sci-Fi viewers. Fans of "Battlestar Galactica" will enjoy seeing John Colicos as a Klingon.
