The Nexus #48 - "Obsession" / "Samaritan Snare"
Added 2020-08-24 15:04:08 +0000 UTCOn this month's journey into The Nexus, the gang chats about two incredibly different episodes of the beloved Star Trek franchise!
First on The Original Series, the episode in question is "Obsession," which originally aired December 15, 1967. This episode is Star Trek doing Moby Dick as Kirk searches for ::checks notes:: a big cloud? This episode features Kirk treating a new ensign like garbage, Spock and Bones wanting to relieve Kirk of command, Scotty really concerned about delivering an important vaccine, and everyone asking everyone else if they smell something!
Then over on The Next Generation, it's the ridiculous episode "Samaritan Snare"! Originally airing May 13, 1989, this episode features Picard going on an awkward road trip with Wesley, a race of dummy aliens bullying Geordi into fixing their ship, and Picard getting a heart replacement and the procedure gets tricky!
