In the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode, "For the Cause," it's great to see Captain Sisko settling into a happy relationship with Kasidy Yates - until Odo and Eddington accuse her of smuggling supplies to the Maquis. They'll need to have a talk. Also talking are Garak and the only other Cardassian on DS9, Tora Ziyal - that is unless Kira has her way.

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.

Remember when the people of Earth faced down an environmental disaster... and did something about it? It wasn't science fiction, it was our concern over the disappearing ozone layer, and it grabbed the attention of Star Trek's producers in 1987. The Trek Files welcomes back Dr. Erin Macdonald to talk about the relationship between science advisors and science fiction.

An early merchandising deal comes to Star Trek when Sawyers, Inc. (maker of View-Master) approaches the show. They sent a photographer to set in December 1967 to capture scenes from "The Omega Glory" and launch a line of TOS reels. At least that was the plan. This week, Larry Nemecek and John Champion talk toys on The Trek Files.
