Mission Log is a Roddenberry Entertainment podcast with the sole purpose of exploring the Star Trek universe one episode at a time. That’s right, this podcast will cover six different series and 30 seasons of television by journeying into every one of the 726 episodes with a single mission: to explore, debate and discuss one of the largest science fiction phenomena of all time, Star Trek. Starting with The Original Series’ initial pilot and continuing chronologically until we reach the last episode of Star Trek: Enterprise, each week our hosts, Ken Ray and John Champion, will tackle a single episode, delving into the most historical and hysterical science fiction that Star Trek has to offer. Along with a variety of guests and interviews, Mission Log will attempt to reach Star Trek’s ethical subtext, understand it’s complex metaphors and finally figure out what was the trouble with those tribbles. Explore strange new details. Seek out new perspectives; deeper understandings. Boldly go where so many of us love to go, again and again. Join us for Mission Log!

320 - Fascination
Love - or a close proximity - is in the air when Lwaxana drops by Deep Space Nine for the Bajoran Gratitude Festival. She's still obsessed with Odo. Vedek Bareil's obsession shifts from Kira to Jadzia. Jadzia is all over Sisko, and Jake can't stop obsessing over Kira. The only two who can't seem to fall in love are the O'Briens. It's a mid-station's night dream when Fascination goes into the Mission Log.

Captain's Holiday goes into the Mission Log.

Doctor Paul Stubbs is on the verge of completing the work of his life - an experiment on which he has worked for 20 years. It is also an experiment that can only be run once every two centuries, so getting it right would be good. Sadly, an experiment run by Wesley Crusher has taken on a life of its own. Literally. It could kill the work of Doctor Stubbs. It could also kill everyone on the Enterprise. Season three of Next Gen begins when we put Evolution in the Mission Log.

We know that as a writer David Gerrold has always got at least one more interesting story to tell. For his return to Mission Log, we dig deep into the circumstances around the first two seasons of Star Trek: The Next Generation and what led to David's departure. It's a personal and sometimes difficult look at what makes or breaks a TV show in production.
Plus we kick off a new segment by welcoming Larry Nemecek to discuss Discovered Documents from the Roddenberry archive. Visit Larry at

126 - Loud as a Whisper
The Enterprise is taking the negotiator Riva to Solais V to negotiate an end to their 15-century civil war. Things are going great until someone kills the chorus. So what? Just a little less music? No - Riva is deaf. His chorus hears and speaks for him. All appears lost, and Solais V looks doomed to end its days in bloody conflict. But come on! This is Star Trek! Things will probably be okay when we put Loud as a Whisper in the Mission Log.
