Summary
In the Star Trek: Voyager episode, “The Haunting of Deck Twelve,” the lights are out, systems are offline, and four skeptical Borg children are trapped in a cargo bay with only Neelix and a flashlight. To pass the time, he spins a tale of plasma storms, haunted decks, and a mysterious energy lifeform. Just how much of the story is true? Mission Log investigates The Haunting of Deck Twelve.
Hosted by John Champion and 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 every episode of Mission Log we…
- Recap the story and analyze key moments.
- Discuss the morals, messages, and meanings of the dilemmas presented.
- Debate whether the episode holds up and if the themes are still relevant.
