Summary

In the Star Trek: Voyager episode, "Course: Oblivion," it's a great time to be on Voyager! Tom and B'Elanna are getting married. There's a new warp drive that will get the crew home. There's just a couple of problems: the sneaking suspicion that nobody is "real" and the ship is melting into a pile of goo. Hosted by John Champion & Ashley Victoria Robinson 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.
