Star Trek: Enterprise, Season 1, Episode 4, "Strange New World"

Enterprise discovers its first uninhabited Earth-like planet, and the crew can't wait to get their boots on the ground. What's the worst that could happen? Well, a camping trip turns into a nightmare when a mysterious storm and a little airborne pollen send everyone into a paranoid frenzy.

This week on Mission Log, John and Holly explore "Strange New World," where Trip's suspicions of T'Pol take a dangerous turn and the Vulcans might actually have a point about taking precautions.

When fear brings our deepest prejudices to the surface, can we really claim to have overcome them? And how do we balance the thrill of discovery with the responsibility to explore safely? Maybe next time, just send a probe.

Hosted by John Champion and Holly Amos
