It’s Christmas, Romulan style!

A review of Star Trek: The Next Generation’s riveting “Face of the Enemy” wraps Transporter Room 3 for the year. We also unpack the original idea for this episode and why Troi was ultimately selected to pose as a Romulan to help her enemy smuggle some defectors into Federation space.

As Spock once said via Christmas ornament: “Happy holidays. Live long and prosper.”

This week, we mourn the loss of nuTrek, as Variety unceremoniously announced in an article about Paramount’s new (and problematic) leadership that the J.J. Abrams era of Star Trek seems to be no more.

The studio is reportedly moving on from Chris Pine’s Kirk and into, well, darkness. So we revisit the three films from the Kelvin Timeline, what worked, what didn't, and why Hollywood is closing the door on this chapter from the Final Frontier.

And now, the conclusion… of our deep dive into Star Trek’s first three-part episode arc ever, wrapping up with DS9’s “The Siege.”

This week, Kira and Dax get their Top Gun on while Sisko, O’Brien and Odo play Die Hard on the station. Does this 32-year-old episode still hold up? You’ll have to listen to find out.

We also recap New York Comic Con and the new, cool toys coming from Nacelle. And yes, we have a Red Shirt. 

So snack on a palukoo and listen now! 

Sisko and Odo work to stop a coup in “The Circle,” the second episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine’s three-part Season 2 premiere, and we have another commentary track for you!

This week’s TR3 is full of behind the scenes trivia — from the first appearance of Sisko’s baseball to the typo in the opening credits and much more (interesting, we hope, stuff). Listen now!

The first part of DS9’s three-part Season 2 premiere, “The Homecoming,” gets the review treatment this week on TR3.

After we unpack Kira and O’Brien’s mission behind enemy lines to free a legendary Bajoran figure, we take a trip to the Replimat and hold a Red Shirt funeral. So get your hasperat and listen now!

Captain Pike and the crew of the Enterprise are back in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3 - and we have our spoiler-filled review of the first two episodes.

We’ve seen the first 5 episodes and… well, we have some opinions - but no spoilers beyond Episode 2. To find out what they are, listen now!

With the sad passing of actor Harris Yulin, who played the Cardassian Aamin Marritza in Deep Space Nine's "Duet," we're going back to rewatch the classic Season 1 episode. Yulin's performance is one of the greats of Star Trek, and alongside Nana Visitor as Kira, the pair gave us an unforgettable hour of Trek.

We also discuss the cancellation of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and why Paramount+ announced it now with two and a half seasons still to go...

Our pal Justin Bolger beams on down once again as we wrap up Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's Season 6 opening Dominion War arc with our reviews of "Favor the Bold" and "Sacrifice of Angels."

Sisko's finest hour, and Star Trek's biggest space battle at the time, conclude one of sci-fi TV's greatest episodes ever.

This week, to paraphrase Martok, we give our one good eye to review Star Trek: Deep Space Nine’s next two installments of the Dominion War arc: “Sons and Daughters” and “Behind the Lines.”

Justin Bolger returns to boldly go with us as Worf struggles to re-connect with his estranged son while fighting the war, Klingon-style. We also go behind the lines of “Behind the Lines,” a.k.a. The One Where Dax Adds Another Phaser Power Cell to the Collection as Odo gets way too close to a Founder.

“Glory to you, and to the empire!”

This week, as promised, we revisit Deep Space Nine’s Season 6 Dominion War arc - with special guest, friend of the pod Justin Bolger!
