Summary
In the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode, "Hide and Q," will there ever be another Q? Yes. And for at least a little while, his name is William Riker. Riker is given the powers of the Q so the Q he knows can better study humanity. Or maybe he is just doing it for fun. Everything is a game to him. This week, the game is Hide and Q.
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.
