You're listening to a Roddenberry podcast. Mission Log, a Roddenberry Star Trek podcast. Supplemental number 83. Star Trek Voyager series wrap up with Ellie Little Child.

Welcome into a supplemental episode of Mission Log, a Roddenberry Star Trek podcast.

I'm John Champion.

And I'm Norman Lau.

Each week on Mission Log, we examine an episode of Star Trek, looking for the morals, meanings, and messages.

But that is not what we're doing today.

It's the classic setup, Norman. I love that.

No, because today on Mission Log, we have completed our look at Star Trek Voyager in total, and it's time to take stock of our time in the Delta Quadrant.

To quote our beloved Captain Janeway, time travel. Since my first day on the job as a Starfleet captain, I swore I'd never let myself get caught in one of these godforsaken

paradoxes. The future is the past. The past is the future.

It all gives me a headache. So, we're looking back at the future that was in the past, and we'll

try to figure out the most essential and the most forgettable and see how it all stacks up.

You know, Norman, I'm just sorry that you didn't do Garrett doing Kate doing that line. So we may have to go back and dub that in. But well done. It's so mad at. I know. I know. But well done. Well done, sir. Not up for that yet. Today, of course, we are welcoming back a very special guest to help us out. It's Ellie Little Child from Trek Culture Online. You know her videos and articles. One in particular that we will get into post-haste. But first, welcome back to Mission Log. Ellie, a pleasure to have you here. Oh, thank you very much for inviting me back. I'm glad I didn't say anything that annoyed anyone the last time, enough to come back again anyway.

You know, that's very presumptuous. Maybe you did. But we welcomed you back anyway because we were here for more of it.

He literally deleted all those social media posts that were negative.

You know, that's the power that we have. No, no. Actually, we time traveled, John. So, you know, we exact. We didn't like it. So we time traveled to the past and then we changed the present. Went back, fixed it. Just like Janeway would. You don't like the outcome. You just change everything to your liking. We are. We are. Yeah. Ellie, what's happening right now with you with Trek culture? What are you up to? What's new?

Do you know what? I think for a lot of the Trek world, we're in a little bit of a haze at the moment. We're in a little bit of an area where there's not a lot going on in the world of Trek. I've got a lot going on in the world of Doctor Who on Who culture.

Ooh, okay, very good. Yeah. Yeah, not so much Trek.

We were very excited about the Murray Gold season 10 drop for the soundtrack.

I am so excited. I love Murray Gold's music. It's been like a part of my life for most of my life. So I'm very excited for that to be released. Yeah.

Excellent. All right. So Voyager is your favorite Trek series, if I'm not mistaken. So it seemed the only right to have you back and look at the whole thing. And just so our audience knows, now, we're going to get into this extremely controversial article that you wrote. So TBA here. But then we will get into some listener feedback. And then we will hear from the three of us with our essential episodes. And we'll set up what that means a little bit later. But

we're going to get a little taste across the seven seasons to see how we feel about Voyager
