Summary
In the Star Trek: Voyager episode, Body and Soul, Seven of Nine is acting strangely. Turns out it’s not the cheesecake, it’s The Doctor hiding out from anti-hologram zealots by taking a tour of her body. While the crew scrambles to stay one step ahead of their captors, The Doctor explores the joys (and complications) of physical existence. Mission Log uploads Body and Soul.
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.
