The Nexus 20 - "Arena" / "Coming of Age" (Patreon)

On this month's journey into The Ribbon, our 20th of the series, the guys chat about one of the absolute best TOS episodes ever, "Arena"! Originally airing January 19th, 1967, this episode features Kirk commanding the Enterprise while out of the office, random meat-and-potatoes extras getting blown to smithereens, and the fabulous Gorn!

Then over on TNG, Wesley Crusher takes a test in "Coming of Age"! Originally airing March 12th, 1988, this less-than-stellar episode features Picard getting frustrated with a dastardly admiral, Riker wanting to murder a snot-nosed Starfleet narc, and one gnarly test where they make you think people are dying just like your dad did, Wesley!

PLUS: That blue dude is 100% vaping some sticky-icky shit!

The Nexus is a We Hate Movies podcast where the guys futilely go through two Star Trek series at the same time. Cover art by Felipe Sobreiro.
