Episode 130: Discovery Star Mary Chieffo (L’Rell!) Beams In

What a night for Star Trek fans! First you got the Season 1 finale of Star Trek: Discovery. Then you got Transporter Room 3’s review of it. And now we have a very special bonus episode featuring none other than Mary Chieffo herself -- a.k.a., L’Rell!

Chieffo is so much fun to talk to not just because she’s a great personality, but also because she clearly loves Star Trek. The actress has already become a presence on the convention circuit, and she’s also done some deep homework about the franchise and Klingon history in particular. (She namedrops Grilka during our chat, for Kahless’ sake!)

We talk the finale, L’Rell’s future, and much more, and then of course Scott and Phil also have a Red Shirt of the week to discuss (really, our second of the week), because it’s tradition. And you know how Klingons feel about tradition!

So beam over to your Sarcophagus ship, get ready to season some Georgiou, and listen to TR3 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!
