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!

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!

Episode 151: The Klingons Return to Disco, and Mary Chieffo Returns to TR3!

This week’s Discovery is basically Game of Thrones, Klingon Style… and we like it! But not as much as we like having L’Rell herself, Mary Chieffo, beam in to discuss the episode with us! Spoilers follow...

A Klingon holding up a severed baby’s head is not a thing we’d ever thought would happen on Star Trek, and yet... here we are.

Discovery’s latest episode, “Point of Light,” is like one of Stefon’s night clubs -- it has EVERYTHING: Holograms, Klingon-vaporizing drones, sword fights and an off-screen decapitated (fake) baby. But is it any good? Listen to find out.

And then we talk to the great Mary Chieffo about everything that happened in the episode, plus what’s in store this season for the new Klingon Chancellor.

And it wouldn’t be TR3 without a Red Shirt to eulogize, and he hails from this week’s Disco. So tell your imaginary dead friend/alien entity to pipe down and listen to episode 151 right now!
