In the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode, "Shattered Mirror," not content to stay in their own alternate universe, Smiley and Jennifer Sisko hatch a plan to lure our Benjamin over to help beef up their version of the Defiant. They use Jake as the bait which accounts for a strange mother and son reunion. Also, the Mirror Universe is bad for Ferengi.

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.

• 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.

Star Trek: Picard producer Akiva Goldsman says the show will continue for as long as its star, Sir Patrick Stewart, wants to do it, and while production has paused for season two, Stewart is keeping busy reading sonnets, with a little help from Jonathan Frakes. All that, plus this week in Trek history!

Keeping the science in "science fiction" is a challenge whether it's for an adult or children's audience. In 1973, physicist Harvey Lynn was consulting The Animated Series just as he had done for Star Trek originally. The Trek Files is pleased to welcome Trek's newest science advisor, Dr. Erin MacDonald, to talk about keeping it real on the Enterprise.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, or as most of us are going to call it, "The Pike Series", is finally a go. Executive Producer Rod Roddenberry chimes in on how quickly the series started to take shape, and how closely (or not) it might hew to the original Star Trek. Be sure to join us live on the Mission Log Facebook page!

It’s time to take another look at a captain’s love life. This time, we’re talking about those characters who grabbed Kathryn Janeway’s attention, from Mark to Kashyk to Jaffen; and even some of those ‘ships that never left port, like Chakotay or Seven of Nine.
