New character Adira arrives (played by Blu del Barrio), the Discovery finally gets a full-time captain, and that guy from the Dawn of the Dead remake grows a mullet. So yeah, we have a lot to unpack.

Episode 159: Star Trek: Discovery’s My Four Moms

Michael and her mom are finally reunited and it feels so, um, sad?

"Perpetual Infinity" is the latest Star Trek episode to tackle time travel, and it's full of scenes that tug on the heartstrings and make one scratch their heads. Also, Leland is still alive (our bad) and he's turning into a slow-mo fighting Skynet! We'll talk about what worked this week and what could have worked better.

Also, there's a tiny update on the Picard show and Alex Kurtzman reveals how CBS All Access plans to roll out their slate of upcoming Trek shows. And we've verified that this week's Red Shirt is definitely, definitely dead. (A dirty job but someone's gotta do it!)

So fire up your stolen time crystals, strap into your nanite-injecting dentist's chair and listen now to the new TR3!

Episode 151: The Klingons Return to Disco, and Mary Chieffo Returns to TR3!

This week’s Discovery is basically Game of Thrones, Klingon Style… and we like it! But not as much as we like having L’Rell herself, Mary Chieffo, beam in to discuss the episode with us! Spoilers follow...

A Klingon holding up a severed baby’s head is not a thing we’d ever thought would happen on Star Trek, and yet... here we are.

Discovery’s latest episode, “Point of Light,” is like one of Stefon’s night clubs -- it has EVERYTHING: Holograms, Klingon-vaporizing drones, sword fights and an off-screen decapitated (fake) baby. But is it any good? Listen to find out.

And then we talk to the great Mary Chieffo about everything that happened in the episode, plus what’s in store this season for the new Klingon Chancellor.

And it wouldn’t be TR3 without a Red Shirt to eulogize, and he hails from this week’s Disco. So tell your imaginary dead friend/alien entity to pipe down and listen to episode 151 right now!

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 128: Discovery Pulls a ‘Genesis Device Begins,’ Plus More Character Twists!

The Klingon war is back on in the newest episode of Star Trek: Discovery, “The War Without, The War Within,” and we have lots of opinions about it.

It’s the second-to-last episode of the season, and there is much to discuss. Like, what’s up with Stamets’ version of the Genesis Device? And why are we talking about pulling a Danny Ocean on the Klingon homeworld if we don’t see it yet? Tyler and Burnham, together again… but not? And why the frick isn’t Saru in the captain’s chair?

As we try to answer those questions and more, we also have more reader mail to share and a few thousand Red Shirts to lay to rest. So charge up your EM darts and listen now to the newest episode of TR3!

"Vaulting Ambition" pits Michael against her former-captain-turned-murder-fueled-Emperor, reveals how Tyler and Voq were spliced together in the Klingon version of the game Operation, and drops the bomb that Lorca's origins are (duh) not what they formerly appeared to be.

And if that wasn't enough, we have at least five Red Shirts to dispense with, as soon as we stop coming up with clever ways to describe what killed them!

All that, plus more reader mail and a dish of Baked Saru are in store as well, so strap on your Klingon laser surgery gloves and listen now to TR3!
