This week, TR3 finally concludes our multi-year odyssey to chart one year of television -- Star Trek: The Next Generation Season 5 -- with recaps of the classic "The Inner Light" and the dull misfire that is the S5 cliffhanger finale, "Time's Arrow."

And of course we are all over this week's Star Trek TV news, as Discovery showrunner Alex Kurtzman will pull a Kevin Feige and oversee more Trek spinoffs that may include the return of Captain Picard. If that happens, we have the scoop on what that show may look like.

All that and one of the most obscure Red Shirts ever. So stop playing your alien space flutes, put down your sentient snake canes, and listen now to the new episode!

Episode 136: Is It Black Alert at Star Trek: Discovery Right Now?

Black Alert. Black Alert. Star Trek: Discovery just lost its showrunners, but it’s not like that’s happened before. (Oh wait!) We dive in on the behind the scenes drama in this week’s TR3, and then we also review another batch of Next Generation Season 5 episodes while we’re at it.

There’s some Mirror Universe-style machinations going on behind the scenes at Star Trek: Discovery lately, with showrunners Aaron Harberts and Gretchen Berg getting bumped while Alex Kurtzman takes the day to day reigns of the enterprise… urm, Discovery.

Scott and Phil dive into what it all means, and how it could affect Season 2 of the show. Plus, they also cover some of the inside chatter on other possible happenings in the world of CBS All Access and Star Trek. Could a beloved character return for his own show?! Eh, probably not…

And then it’s time for more TNG Season 5 chatter, with “Imaginary Friend,” “I Borg” and “The Next Phase” all coming into focus. And of course, another Red Shirt crosses our path… even though you can’t see him!

Episode 135: Mr. Hand, Jean Grey and a Floating Head All Visit TNG

Wesley's on trial, Famke Janssen beams in for some lovey-dovey Picard stuff… and Scott is so NOT a fan of floating holographic heads.

This week on Transporter Room 3, we continue our slowly-but-surely effort to break down Season 5 of TNG with quick reviews of Ron Moore's "The First Duty," the boring AF "Cost of Living" (AKA "The One Where Lwaxana Takes a Mud Bath") and the genius "A Perfect Mate."

We also catch up on some Star Trek 4 and Discovery news -- check out that original Saru make-up design! -- and then we make a stopover at Star Trek: Nemesis for this week's Red Shirt.

So put on your Nova Squadron flight gear and strap in for TR3! Aloha.
