The Nexus #77 - "Wink of an Eye" / "Tin Man" (Patreon)

Step into The Nexus with us as we spend this month talking about two pretty solid episodes of TREK! 

First up on TOS, it's "Wink of an Eye," a trippy episode that aired back on November 29, 1968. This episode features some wild special effects such as when Bones witnesses a man disappear right before his eyes! The ep also has Kirk and crew being annoyed by a buzzing sound, Kirk being a real dick to a yeoman over a cup of coffee, and Kirk and Spock drinking some strange Kool-Aid to trip so hard, they start moving faster like The Flash (or something close to that)! 

Then over on TNG, it's the giant-creature-floating-in-space thriller, "Tin Man." First airing on April 21, 1990, this episode has the crooked mayor from Buffy (Harry Groener) playing a super telepath who finds a friend in a living starship. You read that right. The episode also has some classic pissed off Riker, cool-looking attacks by the Romulans, and possibly the very first appearance of a fully-CGI door in Trek! 

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!
