In the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode, "Sons and Daughters," the family dynamics of Deep Space Nine get even more complicated this week when the kids come home. First there's Dukat's daughter, Ziyal, who has been away at art school. Then there's Alexander who surprises Worf by joining the Klingon Defense Force... and showing up at all. Hosted by John Champion & Norman Lao Welcome to Mission Log, a Roddenberry Entertainment podcast, where we explore the Star Trek universe one episode at a time.
