If by debate you mean Gandalf calmly and eloquently lays out a plan for what the gang's next move should be then, sure, this episode is about a debate. But, it's probably more about how Aragorn is a good king because he actually has a gang to even talk about these things with. And how Sauron is bad because he doesn't. Ironic since he has a servant named The Mouth of Sauron (whom we meet in this episode) and you kind of have to assume that guy never stops talking. Much like your beloved co-hosts.
