The Nexus #88 "Requiem for Methuselah" / "Suddenly Human"
Added 2023-12-28 11:00:02 +0000 UTCHoly smokes, it's our final Nexus episode of 2023!
First up on TOS, it's the kinda cool, but also creepy-as-hell episode, "Requiem for Methuselah"! Premiering back on February 14, 1969, this episode has The Big Three trying to get material to make a cure for the ship's space STD outbreak, the villain raising another classic TOS wife/daughter on a remote planet, and Captain Kirk encountering a cucking fetish for the first time!
Then across space and time on TNG, it's the after school special of an episode, "Suddenly Human." Originally airing back on October 15, 1990, this is a classic Picard Hates Kids episode that also features a feral child, Wesley Crusher hanging out with his space boss on his break, Beverly and Deanna acting as social workers, and Patrick Stewart wearing an incredible exercise outfit at the space gym!

"Requiem" should have turned into a sitcom episode where Kirk loses the rytalin in a billiards game, and Spock shows up with his special Vulcan pool cue to save the day. "My God Jim Boy, he's like a green blooded Uncle Phil!"
