The Nexus #89 "The Way to Eden" / "Remember Me" (Patreon)

On this month's trip into the Star Trek Nexus, we're chatting about two very different episodes from this franchise!

First up on TOS, it's the completely insufferable episode, "The Way to Eden." Originally airing February 21, 1969, this episode has Kirk & Co. contending with some obnoxious space hippies, the Enterprise getting hijacked... A-gain, Chekov awkwardly running into an ex-girlfriend, and Charlies Napier singing some of the worst songs ever recorded!

Then, further ahead in the timeline on TNG, we're talking about the Twilight Zone-esque episode, "Remember Me." Not to be confused with the R-Pats movie of the same name, this episode premiered on October 20, 1990 and features a really fantastic Gates McFadden performance, Wesley nearly killing his own mother with this dumb warp drive experiment, Geordi getting ready to strangle the annoying ensign over the whole calamity, and the Traveler showing up to help rescue Beverly AND be creepy around Wes again!
