The original Nazi planet episode. Not the crap the Enterprise tried to pull. The concept is plausible (to some degree). A historian named John Gill traveled to this planet … but he soon installed a Hitler type socialist regime (under good intensions?? So he said). I knew Johnny Gill never should have left New Edition. One of the soldiers in this regime starts drugging John Gill and turns him into Hitler, he makes him inact a “Final Solution” doctrine against the Zeons.
This is an exciting and interesting episode. Spock and Kirk dress as Nazi’s and infiltrate their headquarters. They also join underground Zeon freedom fighters. The end is just crazy as John Gill is revived and makes a speech to end the war, but soon after he is violently blown away by machine gun fire.

Sci Fi loves Nazis
How do you create Nazism on an Alien planet? Are there Jews in space?
And do you seriously know the names of all the New Edition members?
So I googled New Edition to see if I was the weird one for not knowing who Johnny Gill is. I'm not, Mugato is. Apparently this was his biggest hit as a solo artist:

Never heard it before, and it's pretty awful.
Wow, that song is terrible. New Edition is a super group on par with the Traveling Wilbury's. Johnny Gill, Bell, Biv, DeVoe, Bobby Brown and some other guy. Actually, yeah they are pretty terrible.
"I'm not, Mugato is."
That's not really news. Every post has about one reference at least that flies right over my head. ;)
