Before he was an Oscar-winning makeup artist and Star Trek's go-to designer, Doug Drexler was just a teenage fan fighting to save the show he loved. This week, Doug joins The Trek Files to reflect on a remarkable journey—from the 1968 Newsday article that quoted him as a 14-year-old letter-writing activist, to working for the legendary Federation Trading Post in New York, and eventually becoming one of the franchise's most beloved creative minds. Doug shares memories of fandom in the '60s and '70s

On the Star Trek: Voyager episode Natural Law, Chakotay and Seven find themselves stranded in a protected zone among a pre-industrial alien society. Seven plays catch-up with cultural sensitivity while Chakotay's inner anthropologist intensifies. But even good intentions have consequences when modern colonists arrive.

Before "merch" was a mainstream business, Star Trek fandom had Lincoln Enterprises—and behind the scenes was a small, tight-knit team led by Majel Barrett Roddenberry. This week, The Trek Files welcomes Reinelda Estupinian, who started as Rod Roddenberry's nanny in 1974 and later worked directly with Majel beginning in 1980. Reina shares stories from the early convention circuit: selling scripts, collectibles, and Vulcan jewelry to devoted fans while keeping pace with the growing Trek phenomenon

In the Star Trek: Voyager episose Friendship One, an old Earth probe was supposed to spread friendship across the galaxy. Instead, it sparked a planetary apocalypse. When Voyager finds the wreckage of Friendship One, they also find a civilization devastated by misused antimatter and eager to hold someone, anyone, accountable. Can Starfleet ideals survive the consequences of their own curiosity? Mission Log receives Friendship One. Hosted by John Champion and Norman Lao Welcome to Mission Log, a

The first season of Star Trek: The Next Generation was famously turbulent, but behind the scenes, it was also a hive of creative experimentation and open doors for new voices. This week, we welcome veteran writer/producer Cash Edwards, whose original story pitch “The True One” caught the attention of Gene Roddenberry, D.C. Fontana, and his longtime friend, producer Herb Wright. Though the script wasn’t produced, it sparked genuine enthusiasm, and Herb’s memo to Gene is our document of the week. Cash

In the Star Trek: Voyager episode Author, Author, The Doctor takes his first stab at fiction, but his holonovel hits a little too close to home. Captain Jenkins is a sadist, Tulak relishes punishment, and Lt. Marseilles just wants to get in your pants. The crew is shocked. The Doctor calls it “art,” and a Federation publisher calls it “contractually locked.” As Voyager debates creative expression vs. defamation, a deeper issue emerges: does the author have rights? “Photons Be Free”—but only if

Long before the internet brought fans together, the Star Trek community thrived through newsletters, potlucks, and passionate word of mouth. This week, The Trek Files celebrates the 50th anniversary of the United Federation of Phoenix (UFP), the longest-running independent Star Trek fan club, with guest Dr. David Williams, UFP member and Arizona State University planetary scientist. Using a 1975 Arizona Republic article as our time capsule, we look back at how a group of Arizona fans kept the Trek

In 1973, Star Trek: The Animated Series debuted as a Saturday morning cartoon, but early reviewers quickly realized it was something far more ambitious. A contemporary article from the Pantagraph (Bloomington-Normal, IL) praised the show’s complex themes and emotional storytelling, declaring it a breakthrough in children’s animation that adults could take just as seriously. This week, The Trek Files welcomes back Adam Kotsko, author of Late Star Trek, to explore the deeper legacy of TAS from its

In the Star Trek: Voyager episode Human Error, Seven of Nine is trying something new: a little music, a little cooking, and a little romantic roleplay—typical holodeck experiments in humanity. But when feelings get real and a Borg failsafe kicks in, the cost of vulnerability may be more than just emotional. Oh, and yes, Voyager is also facing a dangerous space-time shockwave, but honestly? We’re just here for the “Human Error,” this week on Mission Log. Hosted by John Champion and Norman Lao MISSION

The introduction of Hugh in Star Trek: The Next Generation’s “I, Borg” added emotional depth to the franchise’s most terrifying villains and reshaped Trek’s approach to individuality and redemption. This week on The Trek Files, returning guest Adam Kotsko joins us to examine the legacy of Hugh’s first appearance, using a March 6, 1992 call sheet as our launch point. From behind-the-scenes insights on day one of filming to Picard’s rare role as the obstacle to resolution, we dive deep into the

In the Star Trek: Voyager episode Workforce, Captain Janeway’s new life comes with decent hours, fair pay, and a promising romantic prospect. There’s just one catch: she doesn’t remember being Captain Janeway. Most of Voyager’s crew have been given new jobs and new identities thanks to some suspiciously convenient amnesia. Is this an alien utopia, or forced labor? Maybe a stranger called "Amal Kotay" can make it all make sense. Mission Log reports for duty in “Workforce.” Hosted by John Champion and

In the Star Trek: Voyager episode Prophecy, after decades adrift in the Delta Quadrant, a Klingon generation ship crosses paths with Voyager and finds what they’ve been looking for: a prophesied savior. Or rather, the unborn child of B’Elanna and Tom. Cue the ceremonial declarations, theological debates, and one very reluctant bat’leth duel. But when the Doctor uncovers a life-threatening illness among the Klingons, prophecy gives way to science, and that same baby might still be the key to

Ever had one of those slumber parties where there wasn't any pizza or soda, just board games and a wormhole and a crashed shuttle and a gas giant and a combustible atmosphere and oversized space centipedes and, oh yeah, a large intelligent lizard that looks a lot like a large intelligent lizard that tried to disembowel you that one time? No? Well, maybe you're like Mission Log Live's callers, and you had thoughts on the latest episode of Strange New Worlds instead. 🌟 About Mission Log: Live:
