Episode 170: Star Trek: Picard Trailer Breakdown and Other Comic-Con Trekness

Star Trek: Picard can't get into our eyeballs fast enough.

We've been obsessing over the new trailer (Data! Seven of Nine!) ever since it dropped at Comic-Con over the weekend, and we're here to break down some bits in it you might have missed. We also got our first look at the Star Trek: Lower Decks animated series and new Short Treks featuring the return of Captain Pike’s crew AND the latest on Discovery Season 3 -- and you bet we have OPINIONS on all of that.

Speaking of Picard, our Red Shirt comes from the good captain's last battle with the Borg. It's a good one.


So open your comm badge case, pour a cup of Earl Grey, hot, and listen now to the new TR3!

We’re back with a recap of all the recent Star Trek: Discovery news (hello, Spock!), some intel on Star Trek 4 and the franchise's first female director, news/not news on Quentin Tarantino’s Star Trek movie (can you believe that’s a thing that we talk about these days?), and a review of "Cause and Effect," that classic Next Gen Season 5 episode. (Yes, we're still reviewing Season 5 two years later. Because reasons.)


And of course, we end with a Red Shirt -- but this time, not the funny kind.

For all that and more, listen to the latest episode of 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!
