  1. Mission Log Live: A Roddenberry Star Trek Podcast MISSION LOG REACTOR | Star Trek: Starfleet Academy S1 Ep6

    17H AGO

    Mission Log Live: A Roddenberry Star Trek Podcast MISSION LOG REACTOR | Star Trek: Starfleet Academy S1 Ep6

    We're back with a fresh recap & review of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy Season 1, Episode 7, "Ko'Zeine." Spring Break hits Starfleet Academy, and while some cadets plan a quiet getaway, others get swept into royal weddings, questionable science experiments, and decisions that could derail a pre-command future. Jessica Lynn Verdi and John Champion unpack the cultural clash on the Khionian "sunset moon," the consequence of cutting corners on the USS Athena, and what this episode has to say about truth and accountability. It's a spoiler-heavy discussion as we break down the latest chapter of this new Trek series' the hits, the head-scratchers, and the character turns that may shape the rest of the season.   Prefer to watch?

  2. Mission Log Live: A Roddenberry Star Trek Podcast 274 - Come, Let's Away

    3D AGO

    Mission Log Live: A Roddenberry Star Trek Podcast 274 - Come, Let's Away

    After our Mission Log Reactor recap of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy Episode 6, "Come, Let's Away," we opened the channel, and our Star Trek Pals delivered. This week's live discussion dives deep into the moral calculus of trusting Nus Braka (again), whether Starfleet's diplomacy still works in a fractured galaxy, and if the Federation's reputation for paternalism is something it simply can't shake. Callers unpack Ake's choices, debate whether letting the villain monologue is negotiation or naïveté, and question whether Starfleet has truly learned to meet other cultures where they are. Along the way, we get sharp psychological analysis, comparisons to Janeway and the Borg, musings on Shakespeare references, comic book lore in a post-Burn galaxy, and the eternal question: how much premise-swallowing is too much premise-swallowing? This is Mission Log Live: thoughtful disagreement, sharp insight, a few laughs, and space to wrestle with the bigger ideas behind the action.   Watch our initial reactions on Mission Log: Reactor: youtube.com/@MissionLogPodcasts (Patreon members get Reactor a day early!)   Join us Mondays for Mission Log Live, our audience call-in talkback show.

  3. The Trek Files: A Roddenberry Star Trek Podcast 14-24 Denise Crosby on Auditioning for TNG: How Macha Hernandez Became Tasha Yar

    3D AGO

    The Trek Files: A Roddenberry Star Trek Podcast 14-24 Denise Crosby on Auditioning for TNG: How Macha Hernandez Became Tasha Yar

    Before she was Tasha Yar, she was Lieutenant Commander Macha Hernandez. For the Season 14 finale of The Trek Files, Denise Crosby joins Larry Nemecek to revisit her original 1987 audition sides for Star Trek: The Next Generation, including early character descriptions that reveal a very different version of the Enterprise's security chief. Denise first read for Deanna Troi before Gene Roddenberry made a pivotal switch, reshaping the role of Macha Hernandez into Tasha Yar to fit Denise's strengths. In this week's episode, Denise reflects on the audition process, her favorite scene between Troi and Yar that was never filmed, and what those early creative decisions revealed about the direction of TNG. She also shares memories of those uncertain early days of production, the risk of launching a syndicated sequel to an iconic series, and the emotional complexity of stepping into (and eventually stepping away from) such a historic role. Along the way, Denise speaks movingly about loss after the Palisades fire, resilience, fandom, and what it means to revisit Star Trek decades later. It's a revealing look at how a character evolves, how casting can reshape canon, and how even discarded script pages tell the story of Star Trek's creative DNA.

    Mission Log Live is all about the conversation.

Callers bring deeply personal reactions to SAM's story, comparisons to Data and "Data's Day," reflections on Benjamin and Jake Sisko, and thoughtful debate over whether this episode is a sincere exploration of identity or an uneven mix of whimsy, fan service, and big ideas.

  6. The Trek Files: A Roddenberry Star Trek Podcast 14-23 Star Trek IV's Lost Saavik Scene with Robin Curtis

    FEB 10

    The Trek Files: A Roddenberry Star Trek Podcast 14-23 Star Trek IV's Lost Saavik Scene with Robin Curtis

    In this very special episode of The Trek Files, actor Robin Curtis joins us to revisit a little-known chapter in Saavik's story, one that never made it to screen. Drawing from a pair of early Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home script drafts, we explore a scene that implies Saavik is pregnant with Spock's child, a narrative thread begun in Star Trek III but quietly dropped by the time the final film was released. Robin shares warm memories of working with Leonard Nimoy, the late Harve Bennett, and her fellow castmates, as well as a few eye-opening truths about the unpredictability of Hollywood. Plus, she discusses her return to the role of Saavik in OTOY's Unification, and we recreate the pivotal, never-filmed scene between Kirk and Saavik. It's an emotional, candid, and deeply human conversation about legacy, missed opportunities, and what it means to carry a character with you for decades. Documents and additional references: First Draft (August 23, 1985): Conversation between Kirk and Saavik revealing her pregnancy by Spock. Second Draft (November 18, 1985): Subtle reference via McCoy's line: "I'm a surgeon, not a pediatrician."

    We're back with a fresh spoiler-heavy recap and review of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, Season 1, Episode 5, "Series Acclimation Mil." Jessica Lynn Verdi and John Champion enroll in a class on the unknowable, following SAM as she tries to understand organic life and the legacy of Benjamin Sisko. Along the way, we dig into big questions about identity, predestination, and whether learning can ever really be quantified. Plus:  holographic hangovers, blobfish, and just how much whimsy is too much whimsy. This is the audio-only podcast version of Mission Log: Reactor.

    Mission Log Live: A Roddenberry Star Trek Podcast 272 - Vox In Excelso

    Mission Log Live puts the spotlight on you. Following our Mission Log Reactor discussion of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy Episode 4, "Vox In Excelso," we open the channel to our listeners for a wide-ranging conversation about Klingon identity, family, myth, debate, and what Star Trek is, and can be, right now. Callers bring everything from joyful tears to thoughtful critique. We hear deeply personal reactions to Jay-Den Kraag's story, discussions of chosen family and queer representation, debates over how truth is framed versus discovered, and even speculation about whether Caleb might be hiding something more than exceptional talent. Along the way, we wrestle with empathy versus charity, cultural self-determination, and the power of storytelling to shape identity. This is Mission Log Live at its best: respectful disagreement, unexpected insights, and a reminder that Star Trek works most powerfully when it invites conversation rather than closing it down.    🎥 Watch our initial reactions on Mission Log Reactor: "Vox in Excelso"   📺 Join us every Friday for Mission Log Reactor on YouTube: youtube.com/@MissionLogPodcasts (Patreon members get Reactor a day early!)   💬 Mission Log Live streams Monday nights and is FREE for everyone: patreon.com/missionlog (Audio-only versions drop after the live show.)
