You also need to add the Star Trek 50th Anniversary 30-disc Blu-ray set to your collection posthaste for even more great making-of info. The 50th anniversary has been an embarrassment of nerd riches lately, and we're gonna walk you through two key pieces documenting Trek's half-century existence.



Did you know there was another writer brought on to First Contact at Patrick Stewart’s insistence? Or that Leonard Nimoy stopped talking to Rick Berman over Generations? Or that there was almost a Khan prequel after Star Trek II? We didn't either. Those are just a few great bits of trivia we picked up from the book and Blu-ray documentary. Listen to find out why there is life before and life after these must-have Trek historical documents.

We also announce the winners of our Star Trek: 50 Artists, 50 Years book giveaway and bid RIP to another Red Shirt all the way from Delta Quadrant.

There's a lot going on, so put on your Spock-y mediation robes, get comfy and listen now to TR3!

We’re continuing Star Trek’s 50th anniversary celebration with another new episode of Transporter Room 3 this week, and another look back at where it all started!

This time out, we talk to writer, legend and OG of TOS D.C. Fontana about her time on the classic show as well as her stint helping to launch The Next Generation, including co-writing the pilot of that series, “Encounter at Farpoint.” [tugs on shirt, orders Earl Grey tea, hot]



And then we also delve into a discussion of Fontana’s great first-season episode, “This Side of Paradise.” You know the one -- everyone on the Enterprise gets doused with alien plant spores, quits their jobs, and puts on those really bland overalls. Oh, and Spock falls in love…

And of course, we finish out the podcast with another Red Shirt. Actually, several, but you’ll have to listen to find out who/what/how. So sit back, ask Sandoval if he’d like to see how fast you can put him in a hospital, and listen to Transporter Room 3!

Star Trek has given us so much in 50 years… including Transporter Room 3, so we're celebrating it old school. Yep, we're slingshotting 'round the sun with a discussion of "The Man Trap," the first Trek episode to ever air half a century ago today. Salt vampires never get old (unlike Doctor McCoy’s ex-girlfriend).
