Summary
In Star Trek: The Animated Series season 1, episodes 15-16, Kirk, Spock and McCoy take a trip to the zoo. But the zookeepers think it's a one-way trip for the men. See what happens in "The Eye of The Beholder". Then, Kirk and Spock are on a mission both improbable and impossible. The stakes are higher than they've ever been in "The Jihad".
Hosted by John Champion & Ken Ray
Welcome to Mission Log, a Roddenberry Entertainment podcast, where we 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. From the show's most iconic moments to its hidden gems, we analyze what makes Star Trek one of the greatest science fiction sagas of all time.
In this Episode of Mission Log we'll...
- Recap the story and analyze key moments.
- Discuss the moral dilemmas presented.
- Debate whether the episode holds up and if the messages are still relevant.
