The Nexus 16 - "Shore Leave" / "Too Short a Season" (Patreon)

On this holiday* journey into The Nexus, the gang covers possibly one of the worst episodes in Trek history, and an episode of TNG where the age make-up is off the chain! 

First up on TOS, the episode in question is "Shore Leave"! Originally airing back on December 29th, 1966, this episode features horrendous "Alice in Wonderland" references, Kirk getting a sexy massage, and talk of Sulu's weird pistol collection! 

Then over on TNG, it's "Too Short a Season." Originally airing February 6th, 1988, this episode shows us some of the most ridiculous age makeup in franchise history, a script where the name "CARN-ASS" is used scores of times, and even a classic TNG trope with the inclusion of a crooked admiral! 

PLUS: What happened to all the Irish in Starfleet between TOS and TNG?

The Nexus is a We Hate Movies podcast where the guys futilely go through two Star Trek series at the same time; cover art by Felipe Sobreiro.
