The Nexus #109 "The Ambergris Element" / "The Host" (Patreon)

It's the September edition of our Star Trek chat show, The Nexus!

First up on TOS TAS, we're chatting about the pretty neat episode, "The Ambergris Element," which originally aired back on December 1, 1973. This episode takes place mostly underwater and introduces a Starfleet submarine, has a lot of trippy visuals, and features a bunch of green sea creatures that Kirk not once tries to make romantic advances toward!

Then across the Neutral Zone on TNG, we're talking about the Dr. Crusher-centric episode, "The Host." Premiering on May 13, 1991, this episode has Dr. Bev unknowingly falling in love with a Trill symbiote creature, Riker doing some cool shuttle piloting, Troi being mediocre at her job again, and Picard getting so jealous, he's as red as his uniform!

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!
