SUPPLEMENTAL: The One with David Livingston

What’s it like to direct more hours of Star Trek than anyone
else? From Next Gen to Enterprise, David Livingston helped
define the look and feel of Star Trek for a generation. In
this Mission LogSupplemental, Norman and John sit down with the
longtime Trek veteran to talk production pressures, on-set
memories, and what kept him coming back across four different
series. Then the pressure is really on when David faces the
lightning round and shares his desert-island picks.


Hosted by John Champion and Norman Lao


Welcome to Mission Log, a Roddenberry
Entertainment podcast, where we explore the Star Trek universe
one episode at a time. Each week, Mission Log
examines a single episode of Star Trek, diving into its ethical
subtext, metaphors, and cultural significance. From the show’s
most iconic moments to its hidden gems, we analyze what makes
Star Trek one of the greatest science fiction sagas of all
time.

In every episode of Mission Log we…


Recap the story and analyze key moments.

Discuss the morals, messages, and meanings of the dilemmas
presented.

Debate whether the episode holds up and if the themes are
still relevant.
