Episode 6: Prime Directive

Why did Ransom abandon the Prime Directive in the Delta Quadrant? Why was Janeway blind-sided by Ransom? What is a good middle ground between Chakotay and Janeway’s opinions? What would Ransom had done if roles were reversed? Would Janeway and Chakotay have agreed more if this was season 1? Join Ashlyn, Rhianna, and guest Flippe Kikee as they discuss the Prime Directive two-parter “The Equinox” in Voyager.

This is the sixth 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 genocide and torture.

Next time, we’ll talk about part 2 of Voyager, with the rest of the PD episodes!
