Transporter Room 3: The Star Trek Podcast

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.

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.

We're back to talk about Picard's BIG penultimate episode, as friends reunite, enemies come into focus, and old favorites return.

Picard Season 3 is here, and we're reviewing the first two episodes! Scott's pals from IGN Clint Gage and Michael Calabro stop by to provide varying degrees of Trek-pertise, from newbie to filthy casual to "I never left Mom's basement" as we look at the return of The Next Generation.
