Episode 4: Prime Directive

Rated R for Language

Why would you ever send someone on a solo away mission? How does the Prime Directive handle spying? Why didn’t the away team ask about the laws in “Justice”? What are the unexpected consequences to “Homeward”? How do they evaluate the people running the duckblind? Join Ashlyn and Rhianna as we discuss the rest of the Prime Directive episodes in The Next Generation!

This is the fourth episode of the Prime Directive series, where Ashlyn and Rhianna talk about the good and bad examples in every Star Trek show, starting with the Original Series and ending with Strange New Worlds.

TRIGGER WARNINGS: Discussions of Suicide, Capital Punishment, War, and Surveillance

Next time, we’ll count Sisko’s Prime Directive violations in Deep Space Nine!
