With its very Trekian take on gender and sexuality, this underrated entry more than holds up today. Find out why.


And we have a few Star Trek: Discovery Season 2 updates (Section 31, everybody!), some wedding news for Lt. Dax (!) and, of course, a Red Shirt -- this one from the Kelvin timeline. (Oh, and just in case you need a reminder, we also go on a tangential rant about how much Into Darkness still sucks. Get excited!)

Also, all of our main topics this episode involve swappin’ spit in one form or another. Win! So put on your comfy future pajamas and listen now to the newest ep of TR3.

This week we have a very special interview with the once and future Chancellor of the Klingon High Council, Gowron himself -- Robert O’Reilly!


But that’s not all… More threatening than ever before (and harder to understand, thanks to the new Disco makeup design), the number one cause of death for guys named David Marcus have decades of storylines and this week we’re looking back at some of our favorites. From Worf to Voq, we’re doing a bumpy-headed deep dive.

We also have our first reader mail tweet and a few (explosive) Klingon Red Shirts. So grab a bottle of your finest blood wine, serve up some fresh gagh, and listen now to TR3!
