As we all know, Star Trek not only has a history of repeating itself, but also a history of touching on themes of human rights, equality, and the laws that uphold them. L+L look at two episodes that focus specifically on the rights of AI characters, TNGâ€s “Measure of a Man” and VOYâ€s “Author, Author”. They find some similarities and a LOT of differences. Does “Measure of a Man” hold up? (Spoiler: of course it does). Did the EMHâ€s holonovel trial change anything for the Mark Ones? (Spoiler: maybe not?). Is it even fair to compare any episode of TV to “Measure of a Man”? Theme Song Remix by No Stress. Subscribe to catch all the new episodes and follow @intothewormhole.podcast on Instagram for more!
