Episode 175: O’Brien Goes Through Hell (Again) and Anson Mount Beams on Down

Happy 175th episode to us! We’ve spared no expense, gang: This week we have Christopher Pike himself, Anson Mount, a special guest host and a great DS9 episode - “Hard Time.” Yup, the one where O’Brien goes to prison in his head and comes out, well, messed up.

Episode 160: The One with All the Time Crystals

Star Trek: Discovery goes where no Trek show has gone before… but don’t read any further if you want to avoid spoilers!

That’s right. They finally did it: They put Pike in his wheelchair. Minus the beeps.

"Through the Valley of Shadows" gets all timey-wimey with time crystals, the return of Tyler's kid, and a glimpse of Pike's "Menagerie" fate. We also get a cool, action-packed showdown with Michael "Dances With Two Phasers" Burnham and Control. So was it any good? We're breaking it down!

We also have some reader mailbag and another Red Shirt from literally the cold depths of space. Oh, and a quick segment on the new Twilight Zone… which is truly scary (the segment, not the show).

So stop playing your nerdy word games with friends, watch out for tentacles full of nanites, and listen now to the new TR3!

Stewart and CBS Trek head honcho Alex Kurtzman made the announcement at the Las Vegas Star Trek con today, confirming all that FOMO that we had about not being there in the first place. We delve into this amazing news in our latest episode, but that’s not all…

We also (finally) discuss those Short Treks that were revealed at Comic-Con a couple of weeks back, as well as the trailer for Star Trek: Discovery Season 2. Check out those threads on Captain Pike! And of course we have a Red Shirt of the Week to dissect (no, not that way). And guess what? It’s Captain Picard!

Episode 138: How Does The Cage Match Up With Star Trek Discovery?

It's finally here -- Transporter Room 3's take on "The Cage"!

Transporter Room 3, Episode 138

Subscribe.

Star Trek's first pilot is like a club Stefon would recommend. It has everything: Female yeomans, phaser canons, throbbing telepaths, green alien slave girls, dated sexism -- EVERYTHING. So how well does Captain Pike's first mission hold up? And how well does it jive with Discovery, the show it shares a timeline with? Listen and find out.

We also do some reader mailbag, where we spend a lot of time debating the science of the Nexus -- a fictional thing. Plus, get ready for three Red Shirts straight outta Rigel VII.

So stop touching those vibrating alien plants, put on your phaser canon goggles and listen now to TR3!
