It's our monthly trip to Trek-land as we step into... The Nexus!
First up on TOS, it's the trippy, surreal episode, "Spectre of the Gun"! Originally airing October 25, 1968, this episode has nearly all Enterprise senior staff stuck in a weird O.K. Corral simulation after trespassing in alien space, Chekov falling for a lovely lady who isn't real, zombie cowboys that are creep-city, and Kirk fist-fighting Wyatt Earp!
Then over at TNG, it's the Rashomon-structured episode, "A Matter of Perspective." First hitting the air back on February 10, 1990, this episode features Riker on trial for murder, Picard acting as his put-upon lawyer, the Enterprise getting a punch of holes poked in it, Mark Margolis as a scientist who thinks Riker tried to sleep with his wife, and Geordi and Wes coming to save the day with some super-thrilling... science experiments?
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!
