The Nexus #80 - "Elaan of Troyius" / "The Most Toys" (Patreon)

On this edition of The Nexus, we're talking about two Trek episodes that each have a great guest star! 

First up on TOS, the episode in question is "Elaan of Troyius," which originally aired on December 20, 1968. This ep guest stars France Nuyen as the titular Elaan, an alien bride-to-be who is not-so-thrilled about the nuptial arrangements, hates everyone aboard the Enterprise, doesn't care if her planet goes to war with another, but is of course ready to fall hard for Captain Kirk in two seconds. 

Then over on TNG, we're talking "The Most Toys," which originally aired on May 5, 1990 and guest stars the legendary Saul Rubinek! In the ep, Rubinek's character orchestrates a wild kidnapping of Data where he fakes the android's death in order to keep him in his secret space collection. Meanwhile, a mourning Enterprise crew tries to move on, but Geordi suspects something's fishy. Solid, solid guest turn from the great Rubinek here! 

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!
