On this month's trip into the Nexus, we're chatting about two pretty solid eps of Trek!
First up on TOS, it's the Scott-tastic episode, "The Lights of Zetar," which originally aired back on January 31, 1969. This episode features known woman-killer, Montgomery Scott, falling in love with another potential victim; a couple of ladies eerily uttering guttural noises like it's a horror movie; and a gigantic, fireworks factory-looking, space disco ball chasing the Enterprise!
Then over on TNG, it's Brent Spiner talent showcase on the episode, "Brothers." Premiering on October 6, 1990, this ep has our man, Brent playing three characters with portrayals of not only Data, but Data's evil brother, Lore, and "father," Dr. Noonien Soong; Riker threatening a class-A Disgusting Shit Boy after the kid almost kills his little brother; and Picard, Worf, and the gang getting totally hoodwinked by Data when he easily commandeers the Enterprise!
