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.

In the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode, "Paradise," Ben Sisko and Miles O'Brien are surveying planets for future colonies. They find one that seems to have a colony already. A human colony. But there's no record of it, and they're not responding to hails. Leave well enough alone? That's not the Sisko way. The two men soon find themselves prisoners on a planet that's sworn off technology, under the thumb of a despotic leader. Will they escape? Will others follow if they do?

Families on the Enterprise? This was a big question among the producers who assembled in the early days of The Next Generation, well before the show's first bible had been written. In this memo, Bob Justman makes a case for dealing with relationships, kids and what the crew is doing when they are off duty. Larry is joined this week by special guest Lisa Klink!
