Transporter Room 3: The Star Trek Podcast Transporter Room 3

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 don’t want to miss!

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. And then the three of us take a stroll to the Replimat before offering up another Red Shirt casualty - this time from the Mirror Universe. So power down your spore drives and listen now!

"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 every scene of its last, while also telling a story we've never heard before about the making of "A Fistful of Datas." So stop running around in your pajamas and bare feet and listen now!

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. We discuss how the Tasha Yar actress got her start in the industry, what it was like growing up with the famous "Crosby" name, why she left Star Trek... and how she's still with Star Trek after all these years! 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!
