Summary
In the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode, "Homeward," Worf's adopted-brother has been quietly studying the people of Borall II until it looks like the whole planet is about to be destroyed. With the help of the Enterprise, he gets out of there, but he brings a village along with him. But they don't know it because they're being hidden in a holodeck.

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.
