What happens when the Enterprise gets...Cerritos'd? That question is answered in the seventh episode of STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS' second season, "Those Old Scientists!"

That doesn't mean that the discussion is without spirited debate, however. Listen in as the Debrief bridge crew — Chris and Rachael Clow and Cicero Holmes — are joined once more by KYLE SULLIVAN ("Trekspertise") and JAVI TRUJILLO ("The Flash: Up to Speed With Wally West") to break down this STRANGE NEW WORLDS/LOWER DECKS mash-up!

The DISCOVERY DEBRIEF panel — Chris Clow (Movies.com, Comics on Consoles), Rachael Clow (Biology PhD candidate), Zaki Hasan (Zaki's Corner, MovieFilm Podcast), and Cicero Holmes (Spawn On Me Cast) — is back at full strength, bringing the final two episodes we needed to catch up on as we prepare to take in season two's penultimate episode! In this recording, the panel tackles episodes 11-12 of season two, “Perpetual Infinity” and “Through the Valley of Shadows,” and discusses everything from CONTROL's potential connection to the BORG, to CAPTAIN PIKE's decisive moment in choosing the direction of his fate. The canonical ramifications of these two episodes seem to be very high, and further add to the larger narrative that encompasses the STAR TREK franchise's original Captain. Plus, we discuss the developing relationship dynamics between HUGH CULBER and PAUL STAMETS, MICHAEL BURNHAM and SPOCK, the identity of the RED ANGEL, and more!

Our bold panel of STAR TREK franchise explorers continue their current journey exploring their choices for all-time favorite single episodes! In our second episode of this series, our full panel — Chris Clow (Movies.com, Comics on Consoles), Rachael Clow (Biology PhD candidate), Zaki Hasan (Zaki's Corner, MovieFilm Podcast), and Cicero Holmes (Spawn On Me Cast) — unites to discuss Rachael's choice: the season six classic from STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION known as "Tapestry!" Anyone who's spent any semblance of time with THE NEXT GENERATION knows all too well that the veneer of CAPTAIN JEAN-LUC PICARD is nearly unbreakable. In fact, one of the few things that actually can break it is death itself. After suffering a horrific injury that puts the captain's artifical heart in jeopardy, he embarks on a journey of self-discovery at the behest of Q (JOHN DE LANCIE) that treats the STAR TREK canon with one of the most in-depth looks at the early history of the venerable commanding officer of the USS Enterprise-D. What does the episode have to say, though, and what does it leave us with when the credits roll? Listen in to find out! Plus, we unpack some of the recent news concerning the ongoing development of STAR TREK: DISCOVERY season two, as well as announce the next episode in the Favorites series that comes from the mind of Zaki Hasan! You don't want to miss this terrific discussion of one of STAR TREK's best! Music by Bensound.com.

16 | Inescapable Reflections

The DISCOVERY DEBRIEF panel — Chris Clow (Movies.com, Comics on Consoles), Rachael Clow (Biology PhD candidate), Zaki Hasan (Zaki's Corner, MovieFilm Podcast), and Cicero Holmes (Rivals of Waterdeep) — reunite to review and react to WHAT WE LEFT BEHIND, the new documentary film about the creation and impact of STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE! In addition to giving us a look at what could be from a hypothetical eighth season of the show, WHAT WE LEFT BEHIND is an emotional journey through the STAR TREK franchise's belatedly-appreciated third live-action TV series. Listen as the DEBRIEF panelists recount their experience of watching the film, and the feelings it inspired in forcing us to reflect not just on what we left behind, but what we found by giving DS9 a chance.

42 | What We Found Instead

For fans of STAR TREK at-large and DISCOVERY specifically, it's natural to wonder: what exactly was the USS ENTERPRISE under the command of CAPTAIN CHRISTOPHER PIKE up to during the events of the show's first season? We now have an idea with the publication of new tie-in novel STAR TREK: DISCOVERY - THE ENTERPRISE WAR! Three members of our bold panel of STAR TREK franchise explorers — Chris Clow (Movies.com, Comics on Consoles), Rachael Clow (Biology PhD candidate) and Cicero Holmes (Rivals of Waterdeep) — are joined by none other than the author himself, the prolific JOHN JACKSON MILLER, about the events of the book! We also touch on some of the other universes he's written for, what helps set STAR TREK apart from the multitude of other (boundless?) universes he's written for, and what it was like to not only tell a compelling story, but to fit it in seamlessly with where we pick up with the ENTERPRISE in the closing moments of the show's first season finale!

Another new episode, another new discussion! The full Debrief panel — Rachael Clow (Biology PhD Candidate), Chris Clow (Movies.com, The Comic Binge), Zaki Hasan (Zaki's Corner, MovieFilm Podcast), and Cicero Holmes (Rivals of Waterdeep) — returns to discuss the events of Star Trek: Picard episode 2, "Maps and Legends." As Jean-Luc Picard walks back into the institution that he helped define for the 24th century, he is greeted with little more than disdain and skepticism. Seeing our hero have to go through this inspired a lot of emotions from our panel, and that's before we even touch all the new information related to the new, more malevolent and surreptitious ROMULAN organization! Listen in as we get ready to witness the beginning of the former captain's journey to learn the truth behind a new component of DATA's legacy! SIDE NOTE: Chris and Rachael's audio in this episode was accidentally pumped through a low fidelity microphone, so we apologize for the oversight.

With three of our four regular panelists on deck — Chris Clow (Movies.com, Comics on Consoles), Rachael Clow (Biology PhD candidate), and Cicero Holmes (Spawn On Me Cast) — our crew goes in-depth with author Dayton Ward's explosive tie-in novel STAR TREK: DISCOVERY - DRASTIC MEASURES. Set a decade before the beginning of the DISCOVERY TV series, the new book explores one of the most consequential and horrific events in the 23rd century: the slaughter of 4,000 colonists on Tarsus IV. With the book fresh in our minds, we explore how it weaves together two major DISCOVERY characters — Philippa Georgiou and Gabriel Lorca — with established continuity going back to the STAR TREK: TOS episode "The Conscience of the King."
