We look back at the highs (Pike! That epic finale!) and lows (smdh, May) of Michael and Disco's last days in the 23rd century.

We also have our literally biggest Red Shirts ever, thanks to Matt, and a nice flashback to 33 years ago this week when Kirk and Spock were loitering around San Francisco in The Voyage Home.

So strap into your Red Angel suit and listen now to our newest episode!

Episode 157: Airiam Just Got an Episode, and It’s an Instant Classic

“Project Daedalus” is a special Star Trek: Discovery episode, as it finally reveals Airiam’s backstory and, in doing so, tugs on our heartstrings in a way Trek has rarely done before. We break down why and how, and Airiam herself, actress Hannah Cheesman, also beams in to discuss the episode!

Episode 156: Discovery Makes Star Trek History

Discovery just pulled Star Trek's version of 2018's Halloween by giving us a sequel to the first Trek ever, "If Memory Serves." That's right, we've been beamed back to "The Cage," and Disco brought the singing plants with them. So how good is the episode? Listen and find out.

Meanwhile, some Picard casting news recently broke and it makes the wait for the show that much more unbearable! And we reach back to an Original Series episode (two, actually!) for our latest Red Shirt.

So stop asking yourself if that Spock beard is a good look, pull up a chair in the mess hall before Tyler and Culber destroy the joint, and listen now to the new TR3!

Episode 155: We Need to Talk About Spock

In the latest TR3, we delve into this week’s episode of Discovery, i.e. the one where Burnham goes home and hangs out in a cemetery crypt while Tyler and Pike fight one of the squids from The Matrix!

Listen, there’s a lot going on in this episode that’s particularly spoilery, so we won’t delve into too much here. Listen to the podcast for all our thoughts! But suffice to say, stuff happens in “Light and Shadows”… even if it doesn’t always happen as gracefully as one might hope.

Oh, and also, we get an emergency transport/self-destruct scenario that’s pretty great!

Beyond that, Star Trek: Discovery Season 3 has gotten a greenlight, so we discuss what that means for the future of the franchise. And, of course, we have a Red Shirt of the Week -- an entire ship of the poor bastards, in fact. So turn on, tune in, and drop out -- into a localized time distortion -- and listen to Transporter Room 3!

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!
