The Nexus #97 "One of Our Planets Is Missing" / "The Wounded" (Patreon)

On one of our longest-running shows, we're talking Trek on another wild episode of The Nexus! 

First up, in the animated world of TOSTAS, it's the dull-as-dog-crap episode, "One of Our Planets Is Missing." First hitting the air on September 22, 1973, this episode has the Enterprise facing off against, you're not gonna believe this, another sentient space cloud! As the cloud heads towards a planet it's going to consume, the crew tries to save the people on the ground by flying into the cloud, shooting it a bunch, and ultimately just having Spock seduce the stupid thing, ultimately convincing it to fly away. Boring-ass episode!

Then over on TNG, it's the kick-ass episode, "The Wounded"! First airing January 26, 1991, this episode has some killer Picard diplomacy scenes, the introduction of the Cardassians as the new Big Bads in the galaxy, a rogue Starfleet captain trying to kickstart a war, and Chief O'Brien and Keiko replicating each other a bunch of gross breakfast!

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 our family of shows—we couldn't do it without you! We know you have lots of options for pods and we're super-stoked you chose to spend some time with us—thanks again!
