The Nexus #83 - "The Mark of Gideon" / "Transfigurations" (Patreon)

It's our monthly trip through Star Trek history on The Nexus! 

First up on TOS, it's the silly, super-cheap episode, "The Mark of Gideon." Originally airing back on January 17, 1969, this episode features Kirk's greatest fantasy: having the Enterprise all to himself, a bunch of lying aliens who send a sexy lady to trick the Captain, Scotty getting pissed off and almost using a Gideon slur at work, and Spock getting ultra-frustrated with some incredibly stubborn gleep glops. 

Then over on TNG, it's the technobabble overdose episode, "Transfigurations." Premiering back on June 2, 1990, this episode features Worf helping Geordi get his groove back, Beverly falling in love with her patient who also has magical healing powers, Wesley being inappropriate at dinner, Data and Geordi going long with the tech-talk, and one character turning into a golden version of Green Man from It's Always Sunny...! 

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 this weird thing we do—we couldn't do it without you!
