Transporter Room 3 celebrates its 12th anniversary this week (*toasts glass of Kanar*) with another Star Trek episode commentary: “Charlie X.” It’s Captain Kirk vs. a 17-year-old orphan who can vanish sparring partners like Sam (RIP) or disappear a woman’s face with his mind. We have all the behind-the-scenes trivia you could ever want about the episode, so listen now!

Mariner, Boimler, Rutherford, Tendi and the rest of the Lower Decks crew are three episodes in to their newest season and it may be the best one yet - especially after that premiere episode. We review the new season so far and also have a special guest interview: Author Max Evry beams in to discuss his new book about the making of 1984's Dune (starring a pre-TNG Patrick Stewart!) -- A Masterpiece in Disarray: David Lynch’s Dune - An Oral History.


So grab some of Neelix’s troublesome Brill cheese and listen now to the newest TR3!

We have a super-sized, two-part episode on Transporter Room 3, with special guest star and Star Trek creature designer Neville Page. *insert To Be Continued... title card here*

With Titan Books' Star Trek: The Art of Neville Page providing a rare behind-the-scenes look into the makeup and creature designs for nearly the last 15 years of boldly going on screens big and small, Page sat down to discuss how he went from designing wheelchairs to working with Steven Spielberg on Minority Report and James Cameron on Avatar, and eventually bringing his unique and amazing talents to J.J. Abrams' Star Trek films.

This interview is full of behind-the-scenes bits, so get comfy and listen now! (Also, check out Neville's new book -- if you love Star Trek 2009 and Star Trek: Picard, you're gonna want to add it to your shelves.) And be sure to check our Patreon for Part 2 of the interview...

It’s been a long road, getting from there to here… Happy 250th episode to us!


After 12 years (!), we’ve reached this milestone and we’re celebrating with Pike, the Gorn, Sisko and Shatner’s Captain James T. Kirk! This week, we review “Hegemony,” Strange New Worlds’ Season 2 finale, as well as the recent season. We also take a deep dive into the making of one Deep Space Nine’s best episodes with our commentary track on “Trials and Tribble-ations.” So get comfy, replicate a cup of Klingon coffee and listen now!

Another classic Star Trek crossover is our topic this week, as Transporter Room 3 reviews Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ “Those Old Scientists," a.k.a. “The One With Lower Decks' Mariner and Boimler.” We also recap Star Trek’s Comic-Con news and pay a visit to the Replimat before a stop at another Red Shirt memorial. So Riker your saddle and listen now!

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is back and we have our review of the Season 2 premiere, “The Broken Circle.” And Batman and Indiana Jones join us in the Replimat this week, with a Red Shirt from Voyager. So clear all moorings and listen now to TR3!

This week, TR3 beams down to a “wilderness of arctic characteristics” with our review of the Star Trek: The Original Series episode “All Our Yesterdays.” Kirk, Spock and McCoy time-travel into an alien world’s past in the penultimate episode of TOS, and we time-travel to the original story outline for the show and revisit some scenes that didn’t make the final cut. And of course, there’s a Red Shirt and a Replimat trip. So pay a visit to Mr. Atoz’s library and listen now!

Now that we’ve recovered from seeing the Enterprise-D one last time, we’re back with a recap of Picard Season 3 with special guest Dr. Arnold T. Blumberg. Come for our favorite moments of Season 3 (Ro! The Enterprise doing a Tokyo Drift!), stay for Arnold’s stories about pitching Voyager episodes to Paramount - like the return of Moriarty. And Patreon subscriber Tom Paynter pays us a visit as well with his Replimat pick. So beam on down and listen now!

Star Trek: Picard's "The Last Generation" makes TV history, to a degree, in giving the Star Trek: The Next Generation cast a second great series finale. We deep-dive into the making of the episode with showrunner Terry Matalas, along with our review of it. We also swing by the Replimat for some quality movie recs and assimilate us some Red Shirts. So swing by Guinan's bar and listen now!

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's "In the Pale Moonlight" turns 25 this week, so special guest Adam Mallinger (a.k.a. Bitter Script Reader) beams in to talk a compromised Sisko, Garak's dead contacts, Senator Vreenak, and more. Plus, it's time to fan-boy out about the episode's co-writer (and Trek legend) Ron Moore before you beam on over to our Patreon exclusive with Ron Moore where he discusses the episode!
