Episode 161: Enterprise Bridge Porn Alert

Better late than never! We're back with a quick recap of Star Trek: Discovery's Season 2 penultimate episode, "Such Sweet Sorrow," which is basically just a lot of Enterprise bridge porn and characters saying goodbye to each other.

We break down what worked and what could have worked better in the episode -- and gush about how cool the bridge of the Enterprise looked. And then Disco production designer Tamara Deverell beams in to tell us how she pulled off bringing the NCC-1701's bridge to life!


Another Red Shirt from Star Trek: Enterprise drops by (literally) as well. So extend your docking corridors and listen now to a new ep of TR3!

Episode 154: Saru’s Voyage Home

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.”

Plus, Scott and Phil are split on this one, Siskel & Ebert style, so expect some fireworks. Ish. A short discussion about “Trials and Tribble-ations” also goes down where we decide that no, putting the Discovery team in Original Series costumes and sets would not have made any kind of sense. And we also have a Red Shirt -- 43 of them actually -- from Star Trek: Enterprise!


So shred your threat ganglia, put on your so-not-inconspicuous robes we only wear for spying on primitive species, and listen now!

Episode 147: How to Design an Enterprise (or Three)

Welcome to the season finale of Transporter Room 3, as we close out 2018 the only way we know how -- by worshipping at the altar of Star Trek!

In this special bonus episode, Phil and Scott dive into the reader mailbag to answer a ton of questions from you guys -- no question is too dumb (or smart) for us to tackle, or at least fake our way through!


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)! His new book Star Trek: The Art of John Eaves is out now, which gave us the perfect opportunity to pick his brain about Discovery, the Enterprise-E, tricking Rick Berman back in the day, and so much more.

And then, of course, we close out on a very special Red Shirt. Listen to find out who this fallen Enterprise-C officer is… Hey, you never know…

Episode 140: Every TNG Episode You Must Watch Before the New Picard Show

Look, it's been awhile (we know). The good thing is, we're back with a shiny new episode about Picard, Spock 3.0, Star Trek 4 (or the lack thereof)… and even more Picard!

Transporter Room 3, Episode 140

This week, we look back at all the big Trek news that's hit the interwebs recently: Star Trek: Discovery's new Spock has been cast, the year when Picard's show takes place, and Chris Pine and Hemsworth are refusing (for now) to beam back aboard the Enterprise.


And speaking of Picard, we have a quick rundown of all the Trek episodes you need to watch before Picard returns to TV. (Sorry, "Bloodlines" fans, you're SOL.) Also, a Red Shirt from Archer's Enterprise joins us and we give a five-star review to that new Star Trek: Lost Scenes book, AKA "The #1 Must-Have on Your Christmas List This Year."

So put on your Season 5 Picard uniform jacket, pour a cup of Earl Grey, hot, and listen now to TR3!

Episode 129: Star Trek: Discovery’s S1 Finale Ends on a Very Cool ‘Holy S#!t’ Note

So, that happened!

Transporter Room 3, Episode 129

Subscribe.

A lot of things went down in Star Trek Discovery's first season finale -- from Tilly getting high to Pike's Enterprise showing up (!) -- and we have lots of questions. And we’ve got a full breakdown of what worked, and what didn't, about "Will You Take My Hand?"

From a visit to the Klingon homeworld where a surprising amount of Orions hang out to the end of the war to the goodbye (?) of a couple of major characters, we cover it all.



Plus, we also touch on the awesomeness that was the recent SpaceX Falcon Heavy launch. And, of course, we have yet another dead Red Shirt. With green skin!

So fire up your alien fondue pot full of narcotic volcanic ash and listen now to TR3!

Episode 77: 5 Times Star Trek Made Us Cry

We're back. You miss us?

Transporter Room 3, Episode 77

This week, grab some tissues because Scott and Phil break down five moments Trek on TV made us cry like Geordi at a Holo-diction Anonymous meeting.

From a post-Borg'd Picard in TNG's "Family" to Jadzia's death on DS9, we pick our favorite moments when Trek pulled on the ol' heartstrings.

We also dive into the Mailbag to share one listener's live-tweeting of old Transporter Room 3 episodes. (Wha?!) And of course, no episode would be complete without a visit from a Red Shirt. Today's used to call Voyager home, until a space cloud killed him…
