In the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode, "Rules of Engagement," it's the heated action of an extradition hearing when Worf's actions are debated by a Klingon lawyer and Captain Sisko! Watch out for flying verbal jabs and character witnesses! Is that an appeal to logic in front of a Vulcan adjudicator?

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.

What does it take to get a show nominated for an Emmy award? Not solely concerned with production, Michael Piller sent a memo to Gene Roddenberry and Rick Berman in April 1990 about which episodes had the best chances of getting some prestigious recognition. If only they could find a way to get Patrick Stewart in the running! The Trek Files welcomes back Eric Stillwell to discuss another one from Gene's archive...
