Mission Log: A Roddenberry Star Trek Podcast - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I look forward to this podcast every week. It’s helped with my PTSD and it definitely helped me get through COVID.
Seven years ago I was biking to band practice, and I would listen to the the audio of old TOS episodes to pass the long bike ride. Another band member told me about a podcast that is going through every episode of Star Trek in order. They watch the ep recap it and then they discuss.
All these years later and finally they ML crew is plowing through the mighty VOY.
Also they encourage continuing the conversation, and are very giving of their time on the mission log discord page, which I am also very grateful for, to have safe intelligent and creative discourse.
I’ve made some amazing friends and we all look forward to the deep dive and dissection of the week’s episode. Can’t say enough good about my favorite podcast.
It fun to think of the hosts in an MST3K type situation, just plugging away in space watching our favorite sci fi shows and exploring the deep meanings within.

I have listened to this podcast since the very first. I look forward to Thursday when it comes out . The guys have covered each successive iteration of Star Trek and every episode now midway through Voyager. I appreciate info on guest stars and the backstories. John and Ken are a good pairing, and complement each other. I’m thankful for the team and Roddenberry enterprises for bringing it to us weekly.

I just discovered this show - out of the sea of Next Generation shows - and decided on this podcast first. That places me in the unique position of arguing points aloud to people who drew these positions almost ten years ago. I’m constantly reminded to write in to the show - and I very badly want to (every ten minutes), only to remember that I’m so far behind, no one will even know what I’m on about. Regardless, I’ve started my journey with you and settled in on discovering the various series’ with your recaps and discussions. I meld with the sensibilities of this program … even when nine years ago you made ridiculous statements about Utopianism being the central reason for striving and misunderstood why the tng crew rejected “Q” powered Riker’s gifts. I appreciate the huge leaps this show was making in 2014 to feel like a “program” especially at a time when podcasting was still very lawless. You did an excellent job of recognizing the audience of your future by keeping the show informative, on subject and using metrics of analysis that wouldn’t be antiquated in the upcoming days. I appreciate all the hard work that went into preventing this entertainment from feel anything less than fresh - and I look forward to your continued presence in my fandom, as I strike out into the supplemental features, documentaries, books, sites and more. I’m not sure that I’ll ever catch up - but if I’m lucky, I’ll be arguing with “five years ago” you rather quickly.

I spent most of my time at the more comedy oriented star trek pods but i checked out mission log when adam guest hosted and i am really glad to see the star trek pods crossing over and collaborating. Mission log is a detailed and informative review of episodes and i look forward to working my way through their back catalog

Changing my 5 Star to a 1 star as this show has completely forgotten its mission. I loved the tng and tos in depth discussions. Now the format is like every other tv review show out there. Mission log gave up on timelessness when norm flopped onto the show. Can he actually go a single episode without talking about Star Wars?

It’s now shallow careful discussions with grandstanding monologues. It’s a waste to listen to this show review voyager when Delta Flyers is doing a better job and has hosts Tom Paris and Harry Kim that are actually connected to the show.
It’s a sad goodbye to a podcast that I enjoyed many hours of but I’m just too disappointed in the shallow shift in content.

It would be great if the hosts discussed what actually happened in the episode they are reviewing, instead of commenting upon their own inserted narrative that doesn’t actually happen in the episode they are meant to be discussing. “The First Duty” (T.N.G.) taught us that the first duty of every Starfleet officer is to the truth. Apparently, the first duty of “Star Trek” podcasters is to the lie.
