Summary

In the Star Trek: Voyager episode, "Prey," the Hirogen are enough of a nightmare for Voyager, but the situation gets more complicated when a stray 8472 shows up looking for refuge. And that battle is almost as tense as the one between Seven and Janeway. 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.
