40 | Choosing Damnation

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!

Plus, we go on a MARVEL CINEMATIC UNIVERSE tangent in the early going, and catch up with ZAKI on what he's been up to!
