The Nexus 27 - "The Devil in the Dark" / "The Neutral Zone" (Patreon)

On this month's journey into The Nexus, it's a real race to the bottom as the gang chats about two totally disappointing—some might even say embarrassing—episodes of Trek!

First, over on TOS, it's "The Devil in the Dark," which originally aired March 9th, 1967. This episode features all the disastrous Trek elements you hope to avoid like a cheap monster, little-to-no time on the Enterprise, and even some guy named Schmitter! PLUS: Scotty keeps accidentally making bongs!

Then, over on TNG, it's the Season 1 finale, "The Neutral Zone," which originally hit the air waves on May 14th, 1988. This episode, which should've just been tossed somewhere in the middle of the season, or at least split into two different episodes, features classic Trek elements like Data making Crusher revive the dead, Romulans messing with the Enterprise crew, and Picard getting frustrated by the obnoxious guy from Jason Takes Manhattan! PLUS: Picard hates uninvited dinner guests!

The Nexus is a We Hate Movies podcast where the guys futilely go through two Star Trek series at the same time. Thank you so much for continuing to support our Patreon! You all make it worth it! Cover art by Felipe Sobreiro.
