The Nexus #54 - "The Immunity Syndrome" / "Shades of Gray" (Patreon)

On this month's trip into The Nexus the gang chats about a rad ep of TOS and a totally garbage clip show episode of TNG!

First up on TOS, it's "The Immunity Syndrome," which originally aired back on January 19, 1968. Was this supposed to be a Star Trek chamber drama? Is Bones getting the crew addicted to crank? And why did anyone think that disgusting CGI shot of the shuttle would look cool?

Then over on TNG, a writers' strike forced the crew into a clip show scenario on "Shades of Gray," the season two finale that originally aired July 15, 1989. The framing device for the episode is Riker getting jabbed by an evil vine which will kill him, forcing Pulaski, in her final appearance, to figure out a cure. How gross was it watching Geordi and Data just walk right into that bog? How great is Marina Sirtis in this episode? And did Riker's extreme horniness bring him closer to death?

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!
