And just like that, Transporter Room 3 hits a milestone -- our 75th episode! That means we’re just four shows away from logging more episodes than The Original Series. Herbert!

Actually, not Herbert. Because we did things in style for this
special episode, starting with a visit from our friend and Star Trek
guru Jordan Hoffman. Renowned throughout the quadrant for his Trek
knowledge -- but mostly his ability to sling puns -- Jordan regales us
with tales from the Trek convention circuit and that time he heckled
J.J. Abrams…
But
our main focus this week is a discussion of how Star Trek could, should
and might return to TV. Which cast would feature in a new show? Would
it be the Abramsverse or the old continuity? Is Trek’s best chance at
being reborn on TV to actually bypass traditional broadcast and cable
and go the Netflix route? We dive deep on this one!
And of course
we have a Red Shirt of the Week, and a very unconventional one at that
for this doomed crewman somehow lived again. Plus, we have a very
special giveaway for our listeners: a chance to win the NX-2000
Excelsior from Star Trek III: The Search for Spock from Diamond Select
Toys. This 18-inch long piece features button-activated lights and
all-new sound effects and dialogue taken from the film, including lines
by the ship's douchey Captain Styles!
