The Nexus #47 - "The Deadly Years" / "Q Who" (Patreon)

On this month's edition of The Nexus, the gang deems it a no-contest win for TNG as they cover two Trek 'sodes—one hilarious, one historic! 

First on TOS, it's the age-make-up-tastic "The Deadly Years." Originally airing December 8, 1967, this episode features Chekhov getting spooked by a dead body; Kirk, Bones, Spock, Scotty, and some nobodies aging rapidly, Kirk losing his mind in a sea of paranoia, and some sub-Jackass levels of age make-up! 

Then on TNG, it's the landmark episode, "Q Who"! Originally airing May 6, 1989, this episode chronicles the Enterprise D's first encounter with franchise villains, the Borg! Marvel at the early Borg costumes, laugh at the dead Borg leaving a massive stain on the ship's rug, and be sure to notice the totally awesome matte painting made for the Borg cube's interior! PLUS: A heaping helping of two series legends: John de Lancie and Whoopi Goldberg!

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!
