On this month's edition of The Nexus, the gang deems it a no-contest win for TNG as they cover two Trek 'sodes—one hilarious, one historic! 

First on TOS, it's the age-make-up-tastic "The Deadly Years." Originally airing December 8, 1967, this episode features Chekhov getting spooked by a dead body; Kirk, Bones, Spock, Scotty, and some nobodies aging rapidly, Kirk losing his mind in a sea of paranoia, and some sub-Jackass levels of age make-up! 

Then on TNG, it's the landmark episode, "Q Who"! Originally airing May 6, 1989, this episode chronicles the Enterprise D's first encounter with franchise villains, the Borg! Marvel at the early Borg costumes, laugh at the dead Borg leaving a massive stain on the ship's rug, and be sure to notice the totally awesome matte painting made for the Borg cube's interior! PLUS: A heaping helping of two series legends: John de Lancie and Whoopi Goldberg!WHM is donating 100% of our 2020 merch income to causes  fighting for racial justice. For more information on how you can pitch  in, head over to our website.

The Nexus is a We Hate Movies podcast where the guys futilely go through two Star Trek series at the same time. Thank you so much for continuing to support this weird thing known as WHM! We couldn't do it without you!

That movie feels as if it'd be a hard watch now, due to both Russell Brand and Diddy. And iirc Jonah Hill had his own issues.

Sonya Gomez was a great addition and it definitely sucks that she is only in a few episodes. She did go on to be one of the main characters of the first ST original spinoff: SCE Starfleet Corps of Engineers. Which features a different class of ship and is generally short stories of them fixing problems. Broken weather control systems on Risa, etc. Scotty runs that organization as a whole after Relics.

Sweet, we finally get to meet the Borg!

Stan Engle

Yes! Too bad the very next episode of TNG flushes all the awesomeness of this episode right down the toilet.

Smaug

It's such a special time of the month when the Nexus episode drops. Thanks guys!

I love the Nexus. I know it's blasphemy but I'm not a fan of TOS and have never watched it (and probably never will). Would you guys mind putting a time stamp in the description for us TNG fans?

Alexander Farr

This episode came at just the right time for me. It's been a rough month. Also excited that we're finally hitting a good stride on TNG. The steady increase in season by season quality only goes up from here. Still some awful things coming (sadly, like 6-8 Deanna episodes are about her being mind violated) but 'we're coming to the good stuff!' that last sentence was in quotes because it's supposed to be read in Cabin's Picard voice.

Frank Grimes

You're correct, Voyager went for the Borg kids then adopted them. Minor Picard Spoilers, but Icheb, the reformed Borg, Seven cries over after he's killed was one of the children the crew adopted in that borg children episode. Too bad it wasn't the same actor, though.

Stan Engle

I know TNG was not serialized back in the day. My comment was mostly to express just how jarring it is to go from a really really good episode, to one that is really really bad.
