The Lorca himself, Jason Isaacs, beams into TR3 to discuss all things Gabriel -- Mirror and Prime -- as well as what it was like shooting that final fight scene from the episode, what the events of this week mean for the actor’s future on the show, and much more.

But first, Scott and Phil dive into a review of the latest episode of the latest Trek show, where things have continued to get increasingly intense and insane. (Hint: We love it!) We also delve into that twist ending and what it could mean for the show as Disco heads into its season finale over the next two weeks.

And then of course we’ve got some reader mail, a special shout-out to our loyal listeners who have been reviewing us on iTunes lately, and of course a Red Shirt of the week. This is a big one!

Another episode of TR3, another trip to the Mirror Universe.

"Vaulting Ambition" pits Michael against her former-captain-turned-murder-fueled-Emperor, reveals how Tyler and Voq were spliced together in the Klingon version of the game Operation, and drops the bomb that Lorca's origins are (duh) not what they formerly appeared to be.

And if that wasn't enough, we have at least five Red Shirts to dispense with, as soon as we stop coming up with clever ways to describe what killed them!

All that, plus more reader mail and a dish of Baked Saru are in store as well, so strap on your Klingon laser surgery gloves and listen now to TR3!

Episode 125: A Tale of Two Tylers

Happy 125th episode to us! And thanks for helping us get here.

And what a great Star Trek: Discovery segment to discuss for our big 1-2-5, too!

As we celebrate this momentous TR3 occasion, we've got a recap of Star Trek: Discovery's newest -- and, so far, best -- episode, "The Wolf Inside." From new and updated Tellarites to Lt. Ash Tyler's real identity (finally) revealed, this episode had a lot going on, so we're breaking it all down.

And then Tyler himself, Shazad Latif, also stops by the podcast with tons of insights into how his character's Manchurian Candidate-y twist came about -- and how it wasn't the original plan when Latif was first cast.

And three Red Shirts literally beam on in before, well, they beam out. Permanently. So plug into your spore drives, put all convos with Mirror Universe selves on pause and listen now to the newest TR3!

Episode 124: Discovery (and Jonathan Frakes) Are Back (And Lorca Punches a Wall With His Face)

The first Star Trek: Discovery episode of 2018 is here, and so is the latest installment of Transporter Room 3 (you're welcome). And that includes a special visit to TR3 from Jonathan Frakes himself!

"Despite Yourself" is a packed episode; not only does it bring back the Mirror Universe for the first time since Season 4 of Enterprise, it also reveals that pretty much all of your fan theories about Tyler are correct. Oh, and Captain Killy (ahem, Tilly) takes command, Lorca head-butts a bulkhead (because LORCA!), and Burnham brings a knife to a turbolift fight.

Frakes directed the latest episode, and we got a chance to talk to the once and future Riker about how he pulled it all off. We also have a giveaway and, of course, another Red Shirt to add to the casualty list -- straight from the Mirror U.

So strap on your regulation Terran Empire dagger, watch out for Agonizer Booths and listen now!

Episode 123: So Is Tarantino's Star Trek Happening or What?!

Star Trek: Discovery made big waves in 2017, and we are ending the year with an even bigger one: Tarantino is planning an R-rated Trek movie. But how accurate (or likely) is this report...? And is that a good thing or bad?

Also, in this final episode of Transporter Room 3 before our holiday break, we review another TNG episode, "Ethics" -- a.k.a. the one where Worf needs a new spine and asks unfair things from his friends in the interim. Classic. Worf.


And as always, another Red Shirt beams on down to celebrate (commiserate?) with us. And we have a special Star Trek Beyond gift to share with a few lucky listeners…

So fire up the Pulp Fiction soundtrack (Rigel IV edition) and listen to our newest episode now!

Episode 122: The Captain Lorca Theory That Will Blow Your Mind

And that’s a wrap on the first half of Star Trek: Discovery Season 1! This week’s episode, "Into the Forest I Go," marked the conclusion of “Chapter One” of the first year, and it was a doozy. From Klingon battles to 133 spore-jumps to Captain Lorca pulling some very Captain Lorca moves, the episode was jam-packed!

Transporter Room 3, Episode 122

We delve into Burnham’s mission to the Klingon Ship of the Dead, the state of the Stamets after all those jumps -- Gary Mitchell eyes much? -- plus what the creepy deal is with L’Rell and Tyler. But best of all, we’ve got a Lorca theory that will… blow… your… mind… Unless you’ve already heard it on some message board somewhere!



Plus, of course, it’s time for some more reader mail and a most unfortunate group of bumpy-headed Red Shirts. So put on your pattern simulators (make sure the light is glowing!), get into your best “ready to beam” crouch position, and listen to the latest episode of TR3!

This week, Saru goes fear-free for the first time ever -- on a planet full of very sentient and very blue lint -- and we get to spend more time with Admiral Cornwell and her Klingon captors in "Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum."



In addition to talking about another good episode of DISCO, we have a great number of Red Shirts to eulogize -- thanks to Lorca's lazy tactical officer.
