New year, new episode of Transporter Room 3! And new Short Trek (with Harry Mudd!) Also, an anniversary for a not new thing…

2019 is not just the year of Replicants and umbrellas with florescent bars for handles, it's also the 26th anniversary of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. January 3, 1993, was a special day for Scott and Phil, and this week we revisit why that is and share a bit of behind-the-scenes info you didn't know about DS9. (Like that time Quark visited Regis and Kathie Lee. Because the '90s.)


We also review the new and final Short Trek, “The Escape Artist” -- Harry Mudd's back and it's good! -- as we gird ourselves for the Discovery Season 2 premiere. And, of course, another Red Shirt bites the dust by way of Vulcan serial killer. (Happy New Year, everyone! Ha.) So replicate yourself a warm cup of raktajino and listen now to the new ep of TR3!

We break down the pros and cons of the latest Disco episode -- and if anyone can explain to us why Stamets didn't just tell Lorca to NOT beam aboard that space whale, we'd appreciate it.

We also have some reader mail about your feelings about the new series, as well as a few new Red Shirts who aren't feeling anything anymore thanks to some of Discovery's Klingons.

So strap on your time crystals and listen now to the newest episode of TR3!

Episode 119: That Time Troi Almost Murder-Deathed Picard (With Special Guest Rainn Wilson)

MacDuff is dead! Long live MacDuff!

Transporter Room 3, Episode 119

Subscribe:

Data chokes out Picard, and whatever a MacDuff is invades the Enterprise -- it's just another day at Transporter Room 3 as we go back to our Season 6 mission to review The Next Generation's Season 5 episodes. (Confusing, right?) Special guest Arnold T. Blumberg beams on down to discuss "Conundrum" (AKA The One With All the Brainwashing -- and a Little Genocide) and "Power Play" (The One With Space Ghosts).

Also, Rainn Wilson chats with us about Star Trek: Discovery and the future of Harry Mudd, and we talk about a couple hundred people who have no future: our Red Shirts of the Week.

So re-route all transporter controls (especially shuttlecraft) to Ten Forward, don't tell Worf he's not the captain of the Enterprise, and listen to the newest ep of TR3 now!

Episode 117: Check Out Star Trek: Discovery, Dropping Some Eff Bombs

Pop quiz: A Klingon enters your cell with two fists and a skull-seeking boot. You can either take the pain, or choose your cellmate to receive it for you. What do you do? What. Do. You. Do?

Well, if you're Lorca, you just kinda wince and cringe your way through some other guy's beating. Stay classy, Starfleet! This week, we nitpick "Choose Your Pain" and its very Trek-ian debate about whether or not it is okay to use a lifeform to power a tech that is slowly killing it. We also call out some great Easter Eggs (Rura Penthe, anyone?) and posit a huge possibly spoilery fan theory about our newest series regular, Lt. Tyler.

Also, we share some reader mailbag about Discovery and torpedo-funeral another Red Shirt. So put on your Starfleet pajamas, brush your teeth with the coolest toothbrush ever and listen to TR3 right now!
