Transporter Room 3: The Star Trek Podcast

We're back with a quick recap of Star Trek: Discovery's Season 2 penultimate episode, "Such Sweet Sorrow." And then Disco production designer Tamara Deverell beams in to tell us how she pulled off bringing the NCC-1701's bridge to life!

Star Trek: Discovery goes where no Trek show has gone before… "Through the Valley of Shadows" gets all timey-wimey with time crystals, the return of L'Rell and Jett Reno, two-fisted phaser action and more!

Michael and her mom are finally reunited and it feels so, um, sad? Plus, a tiny update on the Picard show and Alex Kurtzman reveals how CBS plans to roll out their slate of upcoming Trek shows.

If there was ever a game of "What Will the New Star Trek Discovery Episode Bring This Week" bingo, you likely won big time if you picked "Saru singing hymnals"...

“Project Daedalus” is a special Star Trek: Discovery episode, as it finally reveals Airiam’s backstory and, in doing so, tugs on our heartstrings in a way Trek has rarely done before. We break down why and how, and Airiam herself, actress Hannah Cheesman, also beams in to discuss the episode!

Discovery just pulled Star Trek's version of 2018's Halloween by giving us a sequel to the first Trek ever. That's right, we've been beamed back to "The Cage," and Disco brought the singing plants with them. So how good is the episode? Listen and find out.

In the latest TR3, we delve into this week’s episode of Discovery, i.e. the one where Burnham goes home and hangs out in a cemetery crypt while Tyler and Pike fight one of the squids from The Matrix!

This week, Doug Jones himself beams on down to chat all things Star Trek: Discovery and to break down the new Saru-centric episode, “The Sound of Thunder.”

This week, you get double the bang for your buck (gold-pressed latinum?) as we break down what worked and what didn’t (sorry/not sorry May) in Disco's “Saints of Imperfection.”

TrekCore’s admiral (vice admiral? Chancellor?) Ken Reilly joins us to talk the newest Discovery episode, “An Obol for Charon” -- aka “The One Where Tilly Gets Eaten by Phlegm From the Upside Down.” And, boy, do we have opinions.

This week’s Discovery is basically Game of Thrones, Klingon Style… and we like it! But not as much as we like having L’Rell herself, Mary Chieffo, beam in to discuss the episode with us!

Thanks, Star Trek: Discovery Season 2. You gave us your second episode on the day of our 150th! So we're celebrating like its spring break on Risa with a review of "New Eden." But also we have some fun interviews with -- wait for it -- the entire cast of Discovery as they tease the new season.

Star Trek: Discovery is back for its second season -- and the wait was totally worth it. We breakdown the Season 2 premiere, full of Tilly one-liners, alien organs and Pike's "very colorful" new uniform. Oh, and then there’s lil’ Spock to also discuss… Plus, if you're having a hard time keeping up with the tonnage of recent Trek news, we’ve got you covered with a quick recap of the franchise's latest expansion plans.

New year, new episode of Transporter Room 3! 2019 is not just the year of Replicants and umbrellas with florescent bars for handles, it's also the 26th anniversary of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and this week we revisit why that is and share a bit of behind-the-scenes info you didn't know about DS9. We also review the new and final Short Trek, “The Escape Artist” -- Harry Mudd's back and it's good!

In this special bonus episode, Phil and Scott dive into the reader mailbag to answer a ton of questions from you guys. And then very special guest John Eaves beams in for a lengthy chat about his work as a concept artist and model maker on the many different iterations of Star Trek he’s been involved with over the years. Listen, this guy has designed three Enterprises (and counting)!

This week we snapshot our reactions to the newest Star Trek: Discovery Season 2 trailer (why is Spock writing crazy things on the floor?!), review the latest Short Trek, "The Brightest Star" -- AKA The One All About Saru -- and, if you're looking for a last-minute holiday gift, we discuss the Discovery Season 1 Blu-ray.

A Pulitzer Prize winner beaming into TR3? Make it so! This week, author Michael Chabon himself stops by to discuss his new Short Treks installment, “Calypso,” as well as what it’s like working on the upcoming Picard show. Plus, Phil and Scott dive into the episode too, which jumps a thousand years into Star Trek’s future to give us an outer-space retelling of Homer’s The Odyssey… or at least the part involving the nymph of the title!

You haven't experience a wedding until you've done it Klingon-style. Deep Space Nine is full of underrated gems, and "You Are Cordially Invited" is definitely near the top of that list. This episode has everything: Dax holding buckets, Martok's wife, a fire dancer, and Worf's terrible parenting in REAL-TIME! Having aired in November of 1997, almost 21 years ago to the week, we'll tell you why this episode still holds up.

Star Trek: Lower Decks is announced! Short Treks: "Calypso" gets a trailer, and promises a 1,000-year time jump! And we review the beloved DS9 episode "One Little Ship"! Also, lots of exclamation marks!

Spock has a beard! Tilly has a Short Trek! We chat with Discovery star Sonequa Martin-Green and producer Alex Kurtzman about Season 2! And so much more in our latest episode!
