Summary

In the Star Trek: The Original Series episode, "All Our Yesterdays," Kirk, Spock and McCoy are trapped in the past. But different pasts! On an alien planet! But they’ve got bigger problems than that. Spock is reverting to a sort of pre-enlightenment Vulcan. All of that and the Enterprise may be destroyed by a star that’s expected to go supernova in minutes! Will everyone make it through? Hosted by John Champion & Ken Ray Welcome to Mission Log, a Roddenberry Entertainment podcast, where we we explore the Star Trek universe one episode at a time.
