Summary

In the Star Trek: Voyage episode, "Infinite Regress," Seven of Nine has company. After a couple of decades assimilating beings in her life as a Borg, the voices of her former victims are competing for attention in her head. The cause is a piece of Borg tech baited by another species who want to wipe them out for good, but will they spare Seven? Hosted by John Champion & Earl Green 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.
