The Nexus #56 - "A Private Little War" / "Evolution" (Patreon)

On this month's adventure into The Nexus, the guys are chatting about two pretty right-on episodes of Trek!

First up on TOS, it's the rock-tossin' Vietnam allegory, "A Private Little War." Originally airing February 2, 1968, the episode has Kirk yammering on about some great planet survey/eugenics project he did 13 years ago, Spock getting shot in the back and taking a fall straight out of a Hollywood Western, and the debut of the hilarious-looking Mugato! PLUS: The original title for WHM is finally revealed!

Then over on TNG, the crew is getting annoyed with the obnoxious Dr. Kelso from Scrubs on the sort-of silly/sort-of great episode, Evolution! Originally airing on September 23, 1989, this episode has the Enterprise waiting around for a star to explode for some reason, Wesley putting rodent traps behind the bar in Ten Forward, an old man reciting baseball stats to relax, and Brent Spiner getting to do a funny voice! PLUS: Welcome back to the show, Dr. Crusher! Be dead forever, Dr. Pulaski!

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!
