The Nexus #104 "The Magicks of Megas-tu" / "Identity Crisis" (Patreon)

On this month's trip into The Nexus, it's back to our originally scheduled programming as we chat about two pretty solid episodes of Trek!

First up, we're talking about the TOSTAS episode, "The Magicks of Megas-tu," which originally aired October 27, 1973. While we covered this nearly a decade ago on Animation Damnation, we wanted to go back for The Nexus and frankly, we're glad we did! It's the ridiculous episode where the Enterprise crew meets "The Devil," and Kirk saves his soul! It's just so totally outrageous story-wise, but the episode also features some wild animation!

Then across the Neutral Zone on TNG, we're talking about the Emmy Award-nominated episode, "Identity Crisis." Premiering on March 26, 1991, this is the episode where Geordi and a former co-worker start having their DNA scrambled, making them turn into these totally bizarre creatures. It's a great redemption episode for Geordi, who manages to simply work with a colleague to solve a mystery and not go on to create a holographic replica of her for... reasons.

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!
