Summary
Before we warp into Voyager’s final season, we’re making a pit stop with someone who’s been in the thick of it, script whisperer and longtime Trek insider Lolita Fatjo. She joins us for a fast-paced debrief on your comments and questions: How did Seven’s arrival reshape the show? What network pressures shaped season six? Which untold stories still haunt the Delta Quadrant? Plus, Lolita updates us on the Star Trek: Voyager documentary "To The Journey."
Hosted by John Champion
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.
