The Nextlander Watchcast Episode 149: Star Trek: The Omega Glory and The Ultimate Computer (Patreon)

We've had a lot of splits on the Watchcast recently where we end up with a great Star Trek episode and a not-so-great Star Trek episode on the same podcast, but the gulf between great and not-so-great has never been greater than it is this week as we tackle The Omega Glory and The Ultimate Computer!
