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.

• 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.
