Mission Log: A Roddenberry Star Trek Podcast, explores the morals, meanings, and messages in every episode of Star Trek.

Jun 1, 2023

In the Star Trek: Voyager episode, "Favorite Son," wow, Harry Kim, you lucked out! A planet full of women who want to make you their husband to repopulate the species? Too bad they're only after your altered alien DNA and will kill you when they're finished. 

Hosted by John Champion & Norman Lao

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 this Episode of Mission Log we'll...

  • Recap the story and analyze key moments.
  • Discuss the moral dilemmas presented.
  • Debate whether the episode holds up and if the messages are still relevant.
