Summary

In the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode, "Family Business," Jake plays matchmaker for his father, while Quark plays inquisitor to this mother. Was she actually in business for herself? And worse - did she actually make a profit?!? Talking to strangers? Wearing clothing? Does Ishka’s depravity know no end? Hosted by John Champion & Ken Ray 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. 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.
