In honor of Star Trek's Jeri Taylor, we look back on her landmark career and revisit some of her most memorable episodes of The Next Generation and Voyager. She helped bring Spock to Picard and introduced audiences to Captain Kathryn Janeway, and both the franchise and its fans are all the better for it and her considerable contributions.

Phil is vacationing on Rura Penthe (again), but we have a very special guest this week to make up for his absence! You may know Jon Lovett from the podcasts Pod Save America and Love It or Leave It, and he's beaming into TR3 to talk about the special Trek the Vote event he's hosting on Wednesday... as well as his Trek fandom, of course. He even picks a Red Shirt of the Week, so ready your arguments for what the best Trek movie is, and listen now!

Hell hath no fury like a Ferengi scorned. This week on TR3, we revisit “The Battle” from TNG’s first season. It has mind-altering devices, the Stargazer and LOTS of 1987 flame effects. But is it any good? You’ll find out. We also beam down to the Replimat and launch another Red Shirt into space. So put your derelict starships in park and listen now!

Star Trek Prodigy aired its second (and potentially final) season on Netflix in July and we finally got a chance to put it in our eyeballs. Check out our review of another fantastic season of this charming show, one of Trek's best. We also recap the big Star Trek news out of Comic-Con and Vegas before committing another Red Shirt to their photon torpedo tube. So put on your best Wesley Crusher sweater and listen now!

Riker himself, Jonathan Frakes, beams down this week to discuss all things “All Good Things…” (See what we did there?) Frakes shares his experience working with the late director Winrich Kolbe while filming Star Trek: The Next Generation’s landmark series finale, as well as what it was like to put on Admiral Riker’s grey hair and beard, not to mention what it was like to shoot that final poker scene (and recreate it on Picard.) There are some great behind-the-scenes stories here that you...

With Star Trek: Discovery officially wrapped, TrekCore.com's Ken Reilly beams down to review Disco's series finale and the show overall. Find out what we liked about it and what we struggled with, and we also give our two cents about how effective that epilogue was.

"I don't know how, or why, but I am moving... back and forth... through time." That line reading from "All Good Things..." has been echoing in our heads for 30 years and today on Transporter Room 3 -- we have the actor who said it: Sir Patrick Stewart.  Captain Picard beams on down to share behind the scenes memories of making Star Trek: The Next Generation's series finale, "All Good Things..." Stewart shares what it was like directing TNG's penultimate episode before appearing in nearly...

With Star Trek: Discovery in its fifth and final season, Transporter Room 3 beams down with a snapshot review of the first four episodes so far. We discuss what’s working, what could work better (another MacGuffin puzzle plot, really?), and what we thought of “Face the Strange” going full time travel. Listen now and also take a trip to the Replimat with us for some 1999 Steven Soderbergh, a ballerina vampire, and a Red Shirt from Disco!

Direct from Star Trek: The Cruise, Denise Crosby herself beams into Transporter Room 3 for a wide-ranging chat.

This is a good one, guys. Don't miss it!

This is a big one. Direct from Star Trek: The Cruise, Pavel Chekov himself -- Walter Koenig -- beams in to Transporter Room 3 for a frank discussion about the ups and downs of the Star Trek life. You don't want to miss this one, folks! We were never that young!

Direct from Star Trek: The Cruise! This week, Saru himself - the talented Doug Jones - beams down to Transporter Room 3 and Scott kinda makes him cry, in a good way. Jones takes us behind the scenes of his impressive career, from working with Guillermo del Toro to boldly going onboard Discovery. This is one (sometimes emotional) interview you don't want to miss.

For its 35th anniversary, we're revisiting Star Trek: The Next Generation's "TheMeasure of a Man" -- an all-timer episode of both TNG and all of Trek. It's the one where Picard battles Riker to defend Data's right to be, well, Data. Is he a person, or property? It's a classic Trek-ian argument played out here to courtroom drama perfection, in an episode that holds up especially well after 35 years -- BUT, it's an episode that Gene Roddenberry almost killed. Why? Listen now to find out!

*In vintage TNG trailer for next week’s episode voice* This week, Scott and Phil beam down to the USS Pegasus to help Will Riker retrieve a dangerous cloaking device.

And, yes, there be Red Shirts here. So stop messing with Geordi's VISOR POV and listen now to a new TR3!

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.

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...

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.
