Hey he may not look as much like Leonard Nimoy as Zach Quinto does (except for his deep voice) but Ethan Peck is really selling it as Spock.
And in this episode, he delivers a shall we say variation on Spock (no spoilers) that is pretty amazing and makes me wish we could keep that character too, or at least revisit him (time travel/alt reality episode?) sometime.
They're also getting the hang of comedy. Last season there were some attempts that were misfires but this one delivers subtle comedy, from the officious "gas clouds" to the prissy Vulcans and their rituals.
And we get some interesting developments in the interpersonal realm that makes me wish we could just regard this as an alternate-reality Star Trek without worrying about where we know these characters will all end up.
