The Nexus #58 - "Patterns of Force" / "The Survivors" (Patreon)

On this month's trip into The Nexus, the guys are talking about two pretty solid episodes of Trek, but one of the two is an episode for the history books! 

First up on TOS is the infamous episode, "Patterns of Force." Originally airing February 16, 1968, this ep sees Kirk & Co. heading to, you guessed it, a Nazi planet! What are the odds Kirk's old teacher turned out to be the creator of the entire Nazi Alien civilization? How heavy-handed is all the political commentary here? And what in the world was with that documentary crew? 

Then on TNG, it's "The Survivors." Originally airing October 7, 1989, this episode features Riker getting turned into a human tether ball game, the Enterprise battling with a rogue starship, and Picard harassing an elderly couple!

PLUS: Kevin is not a space name.

The Nexus is a WHM 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 we do—we couldn't do it without you!
