The Nextlander Watchcast Episode 191: Star Trek: Elaan of Troyius and Whom Gods Destroy (Patreon)

We're over the halfway hump in Star Trek's third season, and the campy nonsense hits a fever pitch in this week's episodes. First up is the Taming of the Shrew riff Elaan of Troyius, and then we're onto the simultaneously overheated and under-baked Whom Gods Destroy!
