Episode 177: Star Wars Trek

It's our season finale of TR3, so we're doing something a bit different -- talking about Star Wars!

O.K., we also discuss Star Trek, including the new animated Short Treks -- the fairy tale-esque "The Girl Who Made the Stars" and the Looney Tunes inspired “Ephraim and Dot” -- plus Picard Season 2 news, and more.

But then we also veer into Star Wars territory to dig in on The Rise of Skywalker, directed by Star Trek’s own J.J. Abrams! Did Phil like it? Did Scott hate it? Did Phil hate it and Scott like it? We’ll give you a hint: It’s some combination of the above…

And then, of course, we’ve got our latest Red Shirt of the Week, who in his way helped Geordi get the Chief Engineering gig. The poor bastard.

So light your saber, adjust your Starfleet tunic, and listen now to Transporter Room 3. And may the Trek be with you!

Our review for the new Short Trek, "Ask Not," is finally in, and they should call it "Don't Ask," amirite?! (Ahem.) We also celebrate Star Trek: First Contact's 23rd anniversary this week and Star Trek: Generations, which turned 25 on Nov. 18. (Insert Nexus puns here.)

We also discuss the latest Star Trek 4 news about a certain Fargo writer beaming up to direct the new film -- which better have LOTS of Red Shirts. Almost as many as the ones from Generations we eulogize today.

So de-magnetize your spacesuit boots, set your course-altering Nexus rocket launcher countdown clock to "Snooze" and listen now to the new ep of TR3!

And thanks to @TrekDocs, we got a look at Michael Piller’s never-produced but awesome plan for Voyager’s Season 4 cliffhanger featuring Q, Chakotay hunting down Torres, and Janeway fighting the Dominion with DS9. Yup, it’s a good one.

And our Red Shirts beam in from TNG this week, just before being literally blown out of existence. So replicate yourself a cup of Janeway’s coffee and listen now!

Episode 172: The Return of William Shatner

Ladies and gentlemen, the one, the only: William Shatner is beaming in to Transporter Room 3.

The Shat is a force to be reckoned with, and he’s returned to TR3 for a chat about Star Trek livin’. In our discussion, the man who helped to create Captain Kirk recalls his first Trek convention -- and the accompanying fear of the event -- talks about the Quentin Tarantino Star Trek movie, looks back at his greatest regret from directing Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, and much more.

Then we get to our Red Shirt of the Week, and this is someone who hits home, and hard, for Jim Kirk. Even if it’s just a temporary death. Yes, those count too!

So put on your TMP-era wrist communicator, remind those around you that you need your pain, and listen to the latest episode of TR3!

With the Star Trek Las Vegas convention happening right now, we spoke to the once and future Riker about the return of the character on the Picard show and more. Frakes gives us an update not just on William T. but also on what he’s directing next, he recounts his earliest (most hilarious?) con experience, and he also looks back on the difficult time in his life when Hollywood put him in “director jail.”

And then, of course, we have our Red Shirt; this week’s unlucky soul is someone near and dear to Riker, in fact…

So walk like you’re trying to knock the wall down with your head, take a seat Riker-style, and listen to the latest episode of TR3!
