post from The β€œNubbin bug” lives – A Star Trek prop resurrection with 3D Printing
Star Trek: The Next Generation, Season 1, Episode 25 (May 1988), β€œConspiracy”, was one of my favorites. It featured a mind-controlling alien parasite referred to as the β€œNubbin bug”, or at least by The Greatest Generation Star Trek podcast.
