Fan Comments

Surely no one will dispute that Kirk and Spock have never looked better than in the episode “Errand of Mercy”. Shelley has captured their likenesses in that oh so recognizable style of hers, this time in their civilian attire from that mission. It’s a very serious look they share as they face yet another threat. I can imagine this is the moment that Spock is trying to convince Kirk the mind-sifter was no big deal. Kirk’s eyes are locked on him and clearly they are demanding proof of Spock’s well-being. I love it when Shelley captures moments from the series. Even though we’ve seen the reel thing, she shows us their expressions, their body language, with more intensity. This piece speaks volumes of their relationship and is a treasure, as always. [1]
