About this episode
The episode debates the themes of duty versus desire in the context of the Star Trek episode Ko’Zeine.
Is Ko’Zeine a bold reimagining of Amok Time—or a hollow echo? Dom Bettinelli, Fr. Jason Tyler, and Jimmy Akin debate duty vs. desire, weak consequences, and whether Starfleet Academy gives us characters worth caring about. The post Ko’Zeine (SFA) appeared first on StarQuest Media .
