Summary
In the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode, "Manhunt," it is the return of Lwaxana Troi. Ostensibly on an ambassadorial mission, she is in fact a woman on the prowl. Lwaxana is going through "The Phase," a time in the life of a Betazed woman that ratchets her sex drive to 11. She must have a husband. While her sights are initially set on Captain Picard, when he proves elusive, no man is off limits. Who will be the lucky guy?
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.
