The Nexus #107 "The Terratin Incident" / "The Drumhead" (Patreon)

On this month's edition of our Star Trek recap show, The Nexus, we're chatting about a fun episode of TOSTAS and a solidly-acted TNG message episode!

First up on TOSTAS, it's the silly, but fun episode, "The Terratin Incident," which originally aired on November 17, 1973. This episode has the Enterprise crew shrinking down to tiny size, Bones disappointed they have to abort a mapping mission, the ship's dilithium crystals tanking out again, and Nurse Chapel hilariously falling into a fish tank!

Then across the Neutral Zone on TNG, we're talking about the politically charged chamber episode, "The Drumhead." Premiering on April 27, 1991, this episode has a crooked Klingon tempting Worf with defection, yet another admiral losing their mind for some reason while aboard Enterprise, and a potential act of sabotage that sets off a McCarthy-esque witch hunt, the likes of which Picard has never scolded before!

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!
