The Nexus #84 - "The Best of Both Worlds" (Parts 1 & 2)
Added 2023-08-18 10:00:04 +0000 UTCOn this month's very special edition of our Star Trek re-cap show, the gang is talking about TNG's "The Best of Both Worlds!"
The first part aired June 16, 1990 as the finale of the third season, and the season four premiere, part two, aired September 22, 1990. This is of course the fabulous in-series movie-feeling two-parter where Picard is captured and assimilated by the Borg! How much does Riker super-hate that Commander Shelby? Lotta laughs at Wesley getting shut down at the poker game, no? Isn't it just incredible seeing the Whoopster here? How cool is Riker's blackout line for part one? And any time you get to see that Battle Bridge on this show, you know you're in for a good time! PLUS: Tons of moments of Worf and Data just ICING Borg left and right!
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 doโwe couldn't do it without you! We know you have lots of options for podz and we're super-stoked you chose to spend some time with usโthanks again!

Wolf 359 is an actual nearby star, if you werenโt aware. Only realized it myself last year.

2023-08-22 01:56:46 +0000 UTCHas there ever been an Australian character in Star Trek? Australian actors (Chris Hemsworth, Eric Bana, Picard love interest Wendy Hughes) but no Aussie characters. Weโre they all wiped out in the eugenics wars?

2023-08-19 18:38:22 +0000 UTCI only watched this for the first time recently, loved it! I loved the follow-up episode just as much too, Picard and his brother were great.

2023-08-19 04:28:24 +0000 UTCI was 13 when it aired and this was the first cliffhanger season finale I had ever seen. Went nuts when "To Be Continued" showed up.

2023-08-18 19:29:58 +0000 UTCI wonder if it will be standard operating procedure to do these super-sized Nexus episodes for 90 minute or two-part episodes.
