Summary

In the Star Trek: Voyager episode, "The Disease," love is certainly in the air when Harry Kim falls for an alien living aboard a generational starship. Everyone should be thrilled for him, except that he ignored Janeway's orders and caught something more than "the feels" in the process. Hosted by John Champion & Holly Amos 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. Join the Conversation: What are your thoughts on this episode? Share your take on the ethical questions and themes explored, and let us know how it fits into the broader Star Trek narrative.
