It's our monthly trip into that giant, magical, Star Trek ribbon, The Nexus!
First up on TOS, we're talking about the unfortunately titled, "For the World Is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky"! Originally airing back on November 8, 1968, this episode has Bones getting a literal death sentence, Kirk and Spock shocked that a lady is romantically interested in Dr. McCoy, and a bunch of people basically living out a weird Truman Show-esque existence!
Then, across the galaxy over on TNG, it's the ahead-of-its-time episode, "The Offspring." First hitting the airwaves back on March 10, 1990, this episode has Data designing his own android child, Guinan explaining flirting to a robot, and Picard getting absolutely furious throughout the whole show!
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!
