In this special edition of DISCOVERY DEBRIEF, three members of our bold panel — Chris Clow, Cicero Holmes and Ty Monaghan — talk about Cicero and Ty's INCREDIBLE experience at September's TREK TO CHICAGO convention. Then, the panel breaks down Ty's very first watch of the entirety of STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE...stemming from a meeting with none other than Connor Trinneer!

On this episode, DEBRIEF co-hosts CHRIS CLOW and CICERO HOLMES break down all the STAR TREK franchise news that came out of Comic-Con International in San Diego...and the distinct lack of franchise news that came out of the biggest, dedicated STAR TREK convention of the year in Las Vegas. Plus, a brief word about the future of DEBRIEF once the franchise returns in force!

It all comes down to this: DISCOVERY DEBRIEF says goodbye to the series that brought us together by debriefing "Life, Itself" — the series finale of STAR TREK: DISCOVERY.

The panel — Chris and Rachael Clow, Cicero Holmes and Ty Monaghan — are joined by special guests KYLE SULLIVAN ("Trekspertise") and JAVI TRUJILLO ("The Flash: Up to Speed with Wally West") to dive into this swan song for the show, and whether or not it delivers a substantive conclusion for Captain Michael Burnham, Ambassador Saru and all of the characters we've gotten to know since 2017.

A special thanks to everyone who's listened into our breakdowns of this eventful series, and regardless of our feelings on this finale we look forward to diving deeper into the future of the Final Frontier with you.

We've reached the penultimate episode of the series that kicked off the new era of STAR TREK...but does it feel like it?

After a deviation into the world of gaming (and the Wii U?!), the DEBRIEF Bridge Crew — Chris Clow, Cicero Holmes and Ty Monaghan — alongside special guest KYLE SULLIVAN break down "Lagrange Point:" the ninth episode of STAR TREK: DISCOVERY season five.

Wild opinions, service to the core characters and the impending reflection on the show's legacy are all up for debate in this episode. The end is nearly here.

The DEBRIEF Bridge Crew — Chris and Rachael Clow, Cicero Holmes and Ty Monaghan — return to break down two episodes of STAR TREK: DISCOVERY season 5: "Erigah" and "Labyrinths!"

The search is on for the Progenitor technology, as the crew of DISCOVERY contend with both couriers MOLL and L'AK as well as the re-emergent BREEN. Our panelists' investment in the story varies wildly, but there is some promise to be found in quieter character moments...but is it enough?

Listen in as we barrel toward the final conclusion of the series that kicked off the new era of STAR TREK!

Hello, compeers! Let's reignite a debate about the Prime Directive and try to fix some faulty Denobulan tech in the sixth episode of STAR TREK: DISCOVERY's fifth season, "Whistlespeak!"

Join the DEBRIEF Bridge Crew — Chris and Rachael Clow and Cicero Holmes — as we are joined by KYLE SULLIVAN to see how this character-focused detour progresses, as well as a brief discussion about the turmoil surrounding a potential acquisition of Paramount Pictures!

The DEBRIEF Bridge Crew — Chris Clow, Cicero Holmes and Ty Monaghan — are joined once more by special guest KYLE SULLIVAN ("Trekspertise") to break down STAR TREK: DISCOVERY season 5, episode 5: "Mirrors!"

Some interesting revelations, artifacts and twists to the characters all present themselves here.

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. 

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.

Listen in!

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!

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!
