Summary
In the Star Trek: Voyager episode, "Warlord," Kes isn't herself these days, and that's likely because of the centuries-old despot who has inhabited her psyche with the intent of taking over his old kingdom.
Hosted by John Champion & Norman Lao
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.
