The Nexus #42 - "I, Mudd" / "The Royale" (Patreon)

On this month's edition of The Nexus, the episodes couldn't be farther apart as we chat about two Trek shows of very differing quality!

First on TOS, it's the return of intergalactic scumbag, Harry Mudd in, "I, Mudd"! Originally airing on November 3rd, 1967, this episode features classic Trek elements like an army of sex robots, Kirk & Co. losing control of the ship at a frightening speed, and Uhura considering putting her consciousness into a robot body in order to live forever!

Then on TNG, it's one of the all-time biggest flops, "The Royale"! First gracing the airwaves on March 25th, 1989, this turkey features low-lights such as an extended sequence of Data learning to play Blackjack; a dumbass love triangle between a hotel bellhop, an unseen woman, and the mafia; and three decorated Starfleet officers getting fooled by a revolving door!

PLUS: When in doubt, gamble your way out!

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 this weird thing known as WHM! We couldn't do it without you!
