Mission Log: A Roddenberry Star Trek Podcast

Enterprise is only two weeks into its mission, and already Hoshi is wondering if she made a terrible career choice. A derelict ship full of alien corpses doesn't help.

This week on Mission Log, John and Holly take on "Fight or Flight," as Archer and T'Pol debate compassion versus caution, Hoshi discovers just how much pressure comes with being humanity's resident language expert, and one innocent space slug raises some complicated questions about adaptation and invasive species.

When doing the right thing puts everyone at risk, how far should a captain go? And sometimes, is the bravest thing you can do simply trying to make a connection?

Hosted by John Champion and Holly Amos

Mission Log launches into Star Trek: Enterprise as Captain Jonathan Archer and his crew take humanity's first big steps into deep space. Their mission? Return an injured Klingon to his homeworld, avoid an interstellar incident, and try not to let the Vulcans spoil all the fun. But with mysterious aliens, a temporal cold war, and a crew that's still figuring out how to work together, the NX-01 has a few surprises waiting for it. John Champion and new co-host Holly Amos examine the risks of exploration, the challenges of overcoming prejudice, and the importance of knowing when to listen to advice and when to chart your own course. "Broken Bow" goes into the Mission Log!

Can Holly Amos make it through an entire podcast without mentioning Star Trek? We're about to find out! In part two of our listener Q&A, we're getting to know Mission Log's new co-host beyond the final frontier. From baseball and boy bands to favorite books, travel adventures, and the unlikely combination of brie cheese and Nerds candy, no topic is off limits. Well, except one. And Holly almost makes it.

And the wait is nearly over! Mission Log returns to regular episode coverage on October 22 with Star Trek: Enterprise, starting with "Broken Bow." It's been a long road, but we're almost there!

Hosted by John Champion and Holly Amos

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 morals, messages, and meanings of the dilemmas presented.
• Debate whether the episode holds up and if the themes are still relevant.

You asked, Holly answers! Before Mission Log sets a course for Star Trek: Enterprise, we put our new co-host through a listener-supplied Trek interrogation. Holly talks about growing up with Star Trek, the characters and episodes closest to her heart, her work as an archivist, and even makes a case for some of Trek's less-loved corners.

Plus, we look ahead to what Holly and John are most excited to explore when Mission Log tackles Enterprise. We'll be back with one more Q&A (this time, Anything But Star Trek) before Enterprise officially goes into the Mission Log in just a few weeks.

It's been a long road… and Mission Log is finally back with a long-overdue check-in. John, Norman, and Rod talk about where the show has been, what's ahead, and how the journey continues as we set a course for Star Trek: Enterprise. Along the way, they reflect on the evolution of the show, the state of Roddenberry Entertainment, and what it takes to keep a 2,000+ episode legacy going strong.

Oh, and before we're done, a new voice joins the conversation. Stay tuned.

Tim Russ joins Mission Log for a wide-ranging conversation about his life before, during, and after Star Trek: Voyager. From music to directing, from the discipline of Tuvok to the chaos of television production, Tim shares stories from a career that stretches far beyond the Delta Quadrant. Along the way, we dig into how characters are shaped, how stories are told, and why sometimes the most logical approach isn't enough.

Mission Log welcomes Tim Russ for a conversation that goes well beyond "fascinating."

After seven seasons and one very contested transporter accident, we welcome Voyager executive producer and co-creator of Tuvix, Ken Biller, for a wide-ranging conversation about the legacy of Star Trek: Voyager. Guest co-host Earl Green joins John to explore the creative pressures behind the series finale, the constraints of '90s television, and how a light-hearted idea about a goofy transporter mix-up became one of Trek's most morally complex debates. Also: alternate titles, unwritten sequels, and that time Ken was a Jeopardy! answer.

It's a candid, thoughtful look back from someone who was there from the first season to Endgame.

After seven seasons and one hell of a journey, it's time to start wrapping up Star Trek: Voyager. John and Norman are joined by TrekCulture's Ellie Littlechild to take a look back, starting with Ellie's viral article "10 Most Forgettable Voyager Episodes." Which ones did we forget… and which ones should we? Then we turn to a much harder task: naming our personal top three "essential" Voyager episodes (spoiler: there's no way we're sticking three). Plus, we tackle some listener comments and invite you to stick around for more Voyager wrap-up coming soon.

In the Star Trek: Voyager episose Endgame, after 23 years in the Delta Quadrant, Admiral Janeway finally made it home, but at too high a cost. Now she's crossing time and space to rewrite history, determined to give her crew a better ending. But who decides what the "right" ending is? And is it worth risking everything they already sacrificed to find out? One timeline, two stubborn Janeways, and a final reckoning with the Borg when Endgame goes into the Mission Log.

In the Star Trek: Voyager episose Renaissance Man, The Doctor doesn't quite seem himself. In fact, he seems like just about everyone else on the senior staff. But the impersonations are part of a high-stakes mission: rescue Captain Janeway from a hostile alien race despite her veryspecific orders not to. It's EMH meets ECH meets identity crisis when Renaissance Man goes into the Mission Log.

In the Star Trek: Voyager episose Homestead, there are Talaxians on that asteroid, and Neelix isn't just drawn to their cause… he might be drawn home. With Janeway's hands tied by the Prime Directive and hostile space-miners closing in, it's Neelix who must decide where he belongs and who he wants to be. Mission Log says goodbye in Homestead.

On the Star Trek: Voyager episode Natural Law, Chakotay and Seven find themselves stranded in a protected zone among a pre-industrial alien society. Seven plays catch-up with cultural sensitivity while Chakotay's inner anthropologist intensifies. But even good intentions have consequences when modern colonists arrive.

Can Starfleet ideals survive the consequences of their own curiosity? Mission Log receives Friendship One.

In the Star Trek: Voyager episode Author, Author, The Doctor takes his first stab at fiction, but his holonovel hits a little too close to home. Captain Jenkins is a sadist, Tulak relishes punishment, and Lt. Marseilles just wants to get in your pants. The crew is shocked. The Doctor calls it "art," and a Federation publisher calls it "contractually locked." As Voyager debates creative expression vs. defamation, a deeper issue emerges: does the author have rights? "Photons Be Free"—but only if Starfleet says so, in Author, Author on this week's Mission Log.

In the Star Trek: Voyager episode Q2, Q drops by Voyager for a surprise visit, and he brings Q with him. No, not himself… the other Q. His son. This junior Q is every bit as powerful, unpredictable, and exasperating as his old man, with none of the charm (yet). When the Continuum threatens to de-Q him permanently, it's up to Aunt Kathy to teach Q some responsibility before he's stuck living as an amoeba or worse, a teenager. Mission Log wrangles Q, Q, and more Q in Q2.

In the Star Trek: Voyager episode Human Error, Seven of Nine is trying something new: a little music, a little cooking, and a little romantic roleplay—typical holodeck experiments in humanity. But when feelings get real and a Borg failsafe kicks in, the cost of vulnerability may be more than just emotional. Oh, and yes, Voyager is also facing a dangerous space-time shockwave, but honestly? We're just here for the "Human Error," this week on Mission Log.

In the Star Trek: Voyager episode Workforce, Captain Janeway's new life comes with decent hours, fair pay, and a promising romantic prospect. There's just one catch: she doesn't remember being Captain Janeway. Most of Voyager's crew have been given new jobs and new identities thanks to some suspiciously convenient amnesia. Is this an alien utopia, or forced labor? Maybe a stranger called "Amal Kotay" can make it all make sense. Mission Log reports for duty in "Workforce."

In the Star Trek: Voyager episode The Void, Voyager gets pulled into a dark, starless region of space—no exits, no resources, and no friendly neighbors. Other ships trapped there have survived by attacking anyone new… so naturally, Janeway decides to make friends instead. Can a little Federation idealism light the way out of The Void? Mission Log finds out.

In the Star Trek: Voyager episode Prophecy, after decades adrift in the Delta Quadrant, a Klingon generation ship crosses paths with Voyager and finds what they've been looking for: a prophesied savior. Or rather, the unborn child of B'Elanna and Tom. Cue the ceremonial declarations, theological debates, and one very reluctant bat'leth duel. But when the Doctor uncovers a life-threatening illness among the Klingons, prophecy gives way to science, and that same baby might still be the key to salvation. Mission Log meets "Prophecy."
