25 | Debrief’s Favorite Episodes, Part 2: Rachael - ”Tapestry”

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!
