Summary

In the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode, "Hollow Pursuits," not fitting in is hard enough. Not fitting in to the extent that it's hurting your career while you escape into a holodeck fantasy needs some serious intervention.

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.

Recap the story and analyze key moments.
Discuss the moral dilemmas presented.
