On this month's journey into that magic ribbon known as The Nexus, the gang is talking about two fairly ridiculous episodes of Trek—but ridiculous for very different reasons!
First on TOS, it's "Operation - Annihilate!," which originally aired April 13th, 1967. The episode has it all: Shatner wearing a stupid mustache, hilariously cheap jellyfish-looking props, and even s...
