Mission Log: A Roddenberry Star Trek PodcastAuthor: Roddenberry Entertainment
Mission Log is a Roddenberry Entertainment podcast with the sole purpose of exploring the Star Trek universe one episode at a time. That's right, this podcast will cover six different series and 30 seasons of television by journeying into every one of the 726 episodes with a single mission: to explore, debate and discuss one of the largest science fiction phenomena of all time, Star Trek. Starting with The Original Series' initial pilot and continuing chronologically until we reach the last episode of Star Trek: Enterprise, each week our hosts will tackle a single episode, delving into the most historical and hysterical science fiction that Star Trek has to offer. Along with a variety of guests and interviews, Mission Log will attempt to reach Star Trek's ethical subtext, understand it's complex metaphors and finally figure out what was the trouble with those tribbles. Explore strange new details. Seek out new perspectives; deeper understandings. Boldly go where so many of us love to go, again and again. Join us for Mission Log!

Star Trek: Enterprise, Season 1, Episode 5, "Unexpected"
Episode 603
Thursday, 12 November, 2026
Trip Tucker is eager to make some new friends when Enterprise encounters a ship full of friendly aliens. A little cultural exchange, some unusual food, a telepathic game, and suddenly Trip finds himself boldly going where no human male has gone before: he's pregnant. This week on Mission Log, John and Holly explore "Unexpected," where an innocent encounter raises some surprisingly complicated questions about cultural differences, gender expectations, and informed consent. When the unexpected happens, can curiosity and empathy overcome our instinct to judge? Sometimes exploring strange new worlds means getting a little uncomfortable. Just remember to practice safe melding. Hosted by John Champion and Holly Amos Talk about the show What did you think of "Fight or Flight"?
