This week, we breakdown "Brother," the very entertaining Season 2 premiere, full of Tilly one-liners, alien organs and Pike's "very colorful" new uniform. Oh, and then there’s lil’ Spock to also discuss…

And if you're having a hard time keeping up with the tonnage of recent Trek news -- from more Short Treks to the Section 31 series – we’ve got you covered with a quick recap of the franchise's latest expansion plans. All of this capped off with another Red Shirt -- and this guy, from the premiere ep, really had it coming.

So activate your telescopic camera rig (perfect for hull repairs), strap into your Landing Pod and listen now to a new episode of TR3.

Episode 145: Star Trek Does The Odyssey With “Calypso”

A Pulitzer Prize winner beaming into TR3? Make it so!

This week, author Michael Chabon himself stops by to discuss his new Short Treks installment, “Calypso,” as well as what it’s like working on the upcoming Picard show. Plus, Phil and Scott dive into the episode too, which jumps a thousand years into Star Trek’s future to give us an outer-space retelling of Homer’s The Odyssey… or at least the part involving the nymph of the title!

We bathe this episode with all the praise, while also speculating about what it means for Discovery and her crew’s future. And Chabon himself tells us about how he’d like to continue the story by heading in a few very interesting directions…

All that, plus a Red Shirt who has liquid plastic for blood! So cut off your arm and then reattach it perfectly, evolve your computer a thousand years, and sing Muse, because the next episode of Transporter Room 3 is here!

Episode 137: Captain Picard Returns to Star Trek (Maybe?)

Picard lives another man's life and discovers Data's severed head. Must be Friday!

This week, TR3 finally concludes our multi-year odyssey to chart one year of television -- Star Trek: The Next Generation Season 5 -- with recaps of the classic "The Inner Light" and the dull misfire that is the S5 cliffhanger finale, "Time's Arrow."

And of course we are all over this week's Star Trek TV news, as Discovery showrunner Alex Kurtzman will pull a Kevin Feige and oversee more Trek spinoffs that may include the return of Captain Picard. If that happens, we have the scoop on what that show may look like.

All that and one of the most obscure Red Shirts ever. So stop playing your alien space flutes, put down your sentient snake canes, and listen now to the new episode!
