    Welcome to Mission Log, a Roddenberry Entertainment podcast, where we explore the Star Trek universe one episode at a time. Each week, Mission Log examines a single episode of Star Trek, diving into its ethical subtext, metaphors, and cultural significance. From the show’s most iconic moments to its hidden gems, we analyze what makes Star Trek one of the greatest science fiction sagas of all time.

    In every episode of Mission Log we…

    • Recap the story and analyze key moments.
    • Discuss the morals, messages, and meanings of the dilemmas presented.
    • Debate whether the episode holds up and if the themes are still relevant.
