The Nexus #103 "The Visitor" / "Fascination" (Patreon)

On this month's trip into our Star Trek space ribbon, it's a patron-curated episode where we're talking about two wildly different episodes of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine! 

First up, we're talking about the terribly sad, but very excellent episode, "The Visitor." First airing back on October 9, 1995, this episode features Tony Todd, in one of the great performances of his storied career, as a grown Jake Sisko trying to figure out how to free his father from the heartbreaking subspace trap he gets stuck inside. Todd is fantastic here, in a role that was far from his more well-known Trek role, Kurn, Brother of Worf!

On the other episode, the pendulum swings the other way as we discuss the incredibly silly, and wildly horny episode, "Fascination." Premiering back on November 28, 1994, this episode sees beloved horny character, Lwaxana Troi show up for the Bajoran Gratitude Festival, bringing with her a virus that makes people super horny! We also have O'Brien and Keiko having a bit of a spat over Keiko's work schedule, Kira's guy friend hitting on Dax, and Odo doing all that he can to avoid sleeping with Lwaxana!
