109 | I Went Too Far
Our starship is piloted for this episode by two members of the DEBRIEF bridge crew — Cicero Holmes and Ty Monaghan — and they somehow managed to wrangle GREG TITO (Re-Engage Podcast) into all of the hijinks. Pop in to hear Greg's take on DISCOVERY season 5 so far, and stick around to hear all of our thoughts on "Face the Strange" — the season's fourth episode! Does it buck the trend of too much action without enough heart? Tune in to find out.

108 | They Cloak Now
Crew connections, symbiont shenanigans and...cloaked giant insect battles? Two members of the DEBRIEF Bridge Crew — Chris Clow and Cicero Holmes — are joined by friend and pop culture archaeologist KYLE SULLIVAN ("Trekspertise") to break down STAR TREK: DISCOVERY season 5, episode 3: "Jinaal."
As the plot thickens, the pace slows in this episode that only incrementally moved things forward. Reactions from our panelists to this episode are wide-ranging, including a direct comparison to STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER and a deeper look into the structure of the season so far.

107 | Parade of Progenitors
Let's talk about the beginning of a new DISCOVERY season...one last time.
Welcome back to DISCOVERY DEBRIEF! In this episode, our bold panel of STAR TREK franchise explorers — Chris and Rachael Clow, Cicero Holmes and Ty Monaghan — are joined by special guest JAVI TRUJILLO to break down episodes one and two of DISCOVERY SEASON 5: "THE RED DIRECTIVE" and "UNDER THE TWIN MOONS!"
After some time away we briefly update you on what's been happening with us before we dive into the new season of the series that brought us all together. It's...a roller coaster. Listen in to find out why! -
106 | He’s Got Things to Do
In a long-awaited payment of an IOU, Debrief panelists Chris Clow, Cicero Holmes and Ty Monaghan break down the first season finale of STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS: "A Quality of Mercy!" But we're not leaving it there, as that episode owes a lot of its structure to an important episode of STAR TREK: THE ORIGINAL SERIES: "Balance of Terror."
Listen as the trio breaks down, compares and assesses both episodes in tandem! Does the SNW episode serve as an effective homage? Does the TOS episode hold up? What do we learn about the respective captains of each show in both episodes? How much do these works ultimately "rhyme?" Check out our discussion now!
