@@Idunnoyouguessit there are still moments. Hologram Janeway's first move being to rip out a villain's life support tubes is gonna be perfect Chuck fodder
I look forward to how he'll go about Prodigy, from the challenge of Parody Janeway integration to the look at the show itself, especially since Prodigy is so good.
I find myself in an odd position with SFDebris. I found his reviews looking for validation for my fandom of Voyager. Despite frequently disagreeing with him, I have found his reviews across various platforms sincere, thoughtful, and considered…and really funny, which always helps. I’m here for the long run, Chuck. Best wishes as always.
I attribute you and Linkara as the primary reasons I got into Star Trek. At the time growing up in the mid 90's, it was during my Star Wars obsession that I first got exposed to Star Trek through UPN commercials of three words etched into my mind: Deep Space Nine. I never watched it but they were so memorable. Eventually around the time of Star Trek 2009 and when I started to watch Linkara, his History of Power Rangers video of Power Rangers in Space mentioned you in relation to a montage with Under Pressure, and the rest is history. It was through your reviews that I was made aware of the wider Trek universe beyond Deep Space Nine, including Voyager and the endless humour of your reviews, Insaneway of Borg, Poor Dumb Harry, and Neelix the Shithead. In some weird bizarre way, I gotta thank Voyager for its mediocrity because of how it has eventually led you to do what you do best and set an example. Right now you're one of my favorite Internet reviewers for your ability to balance the serious, philosophical, goofy, and craziness, and on a genre I've loved and adored for all my life. Barring reuploads and restorations, your looks at Voyager will be missed, but this is thankfully where Prodigy can come in and in a way sort of address some of the issues you've had with Voyager. I eagerly await the day when you will take a look at that show. Thank you so much again for everything Chuck, and may you and your family have a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
I definitely remember the UPN commercials that would always end in "...on the next Deep Space Nine." Alas, my English was not good enough at the time to understand the preview or the show. Years later I went back to watch DS9 upon learning (in large part to Chuck's reviews) that it was the only Trek show with real focus on continuity and I was not disappointed.
I had watched this video when it came out, but never bothered to leave a comment on it until now. Until this video, I hadn't realized how long I had been watching you. I DO remember the early days of when you used to post on RUclips, and the biggest point of reference I had from this video to indicate how early I had been watching, I remember when the non-Star TRek videos went to Blip, the RUclips channel would have basically videos letting people know about a new Blip upload. And then when the RUclips uploads of the Star Trek videos stopped, the RUclips channel became PRIMARILY trailers telling viewers to go to Blip to watch the latest review. Hell, I think it was that period that had me check out the site because it was just easier to look for a review, without juggling between RUclips reviews, RUclips trailers for the Blip videos, and then the actual Blip videos!
Threshold was actually pretty good with Paris’ body horror and the general sense of danger with exploring space that the series should have been about. As soon as The Doctor stated Tom was actually ‘evolving’ instead of just mutating because he had been merged with an alien species due to the warp 10 flight, it went off the rails. The ending with the Tomway salamander babies was just insulting, but now hilarious in hindsight.
@@russellharrell2747 exactly. The episode was eerie, fascinating and compelling for about 2/3 of it's time. Then that all changed in the weirdest way for absolutely no reason.
You can tell with what Ronald D Moore did with the BSG re-boot at the all kinds of potential missed from Voyager. Real shame they didn't let him do his thing when he moved over from DS9.
It amuses me that Chuck suggests punching Neelix with boxing gloves on, but boxing gloves protect the puncher's hands, not the person receiving the punch.
I remember you and confused matthew being some of the first "youtubers" I watched way back when I was in middle school. Feels like the end of an era without these.
I was hoping you'd say China Beach. Thank you. As a 40-year-old Argentinian, Trek fan, and general television enthusiast, your reviews have been an incredible experience. And I can't tell you how much your work has helped me through some very rough times and inspired me to improve my attitude towards my work and re-introduce creativity into it. And without any exaggeration or hyperbole, you have helped me avoid and overcome some very difficult moments in my life. Thank you.
I posted a comment long ago about why Janeway snubbed Yuri Gagarin and you turned that into a hilarious joke in the Thaw Review. Thank you. You have helped me think more critically. I look forward to more of your projects after Voyager.
I've been here since before Blip, been a Patreon supporter since day one and I haven't missed a single Trek review Chuck has uploaded (requested a few, too) and I have loved every second of your output. Here's to 15 more years- god knows there's going to be enough Trek coming to keep you going for that long.
You were my window into the world of Video Essay Criticism, a genre of entertainment and education that I could have never imagined and now can't live without. I somehow managed to find you even before AVGN and other big names, and I'm glad because you really set the bar not just for funny but for critical analysis of what makes a story work and not work. Last year I started my first ever Let's Play, a full Deep Dive into Final Fantasy 14. It was inspired by your own work on Star Wars: The Old Republic and your general style of review and critique. It's currently being produced in text form, but I aspire to one day try converting them into video format, just like you. Thanks for making me a smarter consumer of media and helping to push me to create.
I started watching your videos in 2011 when I was stationed in Korea. I've been watching your videos all over the world, and even requested Sugar Dirt before I got out of military. Thanks for being there through the years!
Confused Mathew isn't a name I've heard in a long long time... Isn't it funny that we've taken longer to explore Voyager than Voyager ever existed, I never thought the journey would end and yet here we are I'm looking forward to what you decide to focus on next
Linkara is how I ended up here too. While I will admit my preference for review style leans more on the TGWTG style of over the top reactions rather than genuinely considering the quality of acting, writing, story etc, you have managed to consistently kept the entertainment high as you review things seriously.
I've been here for 12 years and your not getting rid of me any time soon! Loved the reflection on the shows history, you always make my day brighter! Keep up the good work, and I wish you good cheer!
I discovered the Voyager Guide by accident. I was actually looking for Starwars/Startrek cross overs and stumbled on his Unity Saga, pre rewrite. I always enjoyed his reading his reviews, then enjoyed watching them. Thank you Chuck for 15 years of entertainment.
I had a very similar experience with Voyager. I was hyped. This was going to be awesome. I even remember thinking that Neelix looked like a really intriguing character, and I lked Kate Mulgrew and thought she was a great choice for a captain. Then the show actually aired...
@@ImperatorPenguin I get you. I was hyped for The Force Awakens, and then it came out and was just meh. I didn't know that this was going to be the best it was going to get for a while... Man those last two movies blew.
My first encounter with you was in 2010 when I was looking for the transporter accident scene from TMP and found it...attached to a full review of the film. Since then your channel has been a constant in my life. Here's to the next 12 years 🍻
To think we'd reach an end of the era. I showed up 2018 or so and you were just the neat star trek guy. Now you are the neat sci fi guy. Thanks for the silly but neat reviews.
My dad called out China Beach the moment Picardo came on screen when we watched it together. I was just a bit too young for it myself, but have since gone back and watched it.
Now that he's done, you can always go back and start from the beginning. 😉 Still, there's the magic of the journey, though. And seeing as how they were reviewed out of order, that continuity might be hard to damn near impossible to recreate. But still, I have to be honest and say at least one marathon viewing is left in my future. Although, I must admit that the tighter BS copyright enforcement that has decimated the full motion scenes from the pre-remastered era reviews makes me sad. I hope Chuck has all those saved somewhere even after he uploads the remastered ones. I would love to have a private online watch party stream someday, maybe... 😉
Thanks, Chuck. I've been here since about early 2009, and this is quite the end of an era. Good thing there's still about a Voyager's-worth of TOS, TNG and DS9 episodes still to go! Here's to another 15 years!
It is quite remarkable to see the conclusion of all the Voyager reviews. I was there quite early in the RUclips days, laughing like the moronic teenager that I was. I'm happy to still be here, laughing like a moronic adult, a good fourteen years later. I watched Voyager as a kid on BBC 2 and found myself perplexed by how little I cared for the show. I loved TNG and much of DS9 when I watched those shows, but as a child, Voyager was beige. It was aggressively dull. I was confused, knowing that logically I should enjoy it. I loved the concept, I loved space, and I loved science fiction, so why did I not like Voyager? I was too young to understand and form a reasoned opinion, then I moved on and grew up. Watching your Voyager reviews in those early days, years later, were a revelation. I didn't agree with everything, but those videos helped me resolve that childhood confusion, to experience Voyager anew. For what it's worth, Chuck, thank you for that.
You talking about the move from RUclips to Blip reminded me that's when I first started watching you. I can't remember how I found you, only that I binged a bunch of episodes and that not long after they were all gone and I was worried it was for good. I think from then until now I have checked your site for new episodes most days. It's been a long time.
It's a privilege to witness the end of an era. I forget exactly when I discovered you, but it was definitely around the time that SpikeTV (remember them?) was airing Voyager for the first time. Your reviews were always so funny and encouraged me to think a little bit more critically about the media I was consuming. I remember being in the middle of watching your review of First Contact when you had to start pulling stuff off of RUclips. Wondering if there would be any more. And again when Blip went under. I'm glad you made it to the end, Chuck. Here's to more laughs! (And damn the copyright bots)
I stumbled across your reviews in 2014 , and I have been watching them regularly ever since . Entertaining, Funny , Thought provoking , and always an original voice . Chuck , please keep up the good work with your next projects. 15 more years ! 😊
I first became aware of SF Debris' channel on Blip via Linkara, back in 2011 or 2012. I appreciate the wry humor, and stayed for the insightful reviews. Chuck, may you continue to entertain us with your wit, and I hope to be along for the ride.
Honestly, I'm not sure if it was through Linkara or old Confused Matthew, but god, it was a long time ago. Can't remember the exact time, somewhere after you left RUclips, but before you started your look at the overarching storyline of VOY season 2, 2012 maybe? You've been my favorite internet person of all time. I'M positive you've got me into Star Trek and probably ton of other things I can't even remember not being into.
Thank you for the years of entertainment. Here is to many more new reviews, your health, your abode remaining liveable, and hopefully prosperity to go along with all of that. ➡️🐄👈🏖
I'd forgotten this but, I'd been watching your reviews since you had around ten videos up, and I loved Parody Janeway so much that I wanted a show based around her, and when Rick and Morty first came out I immediately thought: "This is that catharsis I wanted from that character."
I remember first hearing about you through Confused Matthew and been on this ride ever since, through RUclips to Blip and back. Really appreciate the time you've given to these reviews, going into the details and behind the scenes. I do find the reviews to be a nice comfort piece to have on at times when I need some downtime, so thank you for the many years of educating and entertainment, Chuck. Here's to what lies in the great beyond without having to deal with Voyager anymore.
I've been trying to figure out when I started watching Chuck's reviews. It was for sure back int he old RUclips days, but I'm not sure how early on. Kinda hard to remember because after watching a few episodes, I was diving back into whatever backlog there was at the time and watching (and probably rewatching) them on a regular basis. I had to have started watching by at the latest 2008 when I was finishing up college, because by the time I got my first job out of school, I was fully ensconced in the habit of watching the new review every week when I sat down at my desk and started work on Saturday. That habit has remained for many, many years. I have long stopped watching nearly all of the reviewers and producers I watched back then. But Chuck's videos? Still here. Still watching like clockwork. Maybe not the day they come out any more. Life seems to always become far busier and time seemingly less bountiful as the years have ticked on. But I still love watching the videos. They're always the perfect blend of insightful and sarcastic; informative and funny. It's so funny to see the completion of reviews on the series that started everything. All I can really say is thanks. Thanks for still doing these videos. It's provided many years of entertainment, and I truly look forward to seeing everything that comes next.
Voyager has always been a bit of a nostalgia thing for me. I watched the first few seasons as a kid and thought the show was entertaining. The show was then suddenly taken off the air in Saint Louis as of "Waking Moments" because of a contractual disagreement between UPN (which did not have a Saint Louis affiliate) and KDNL (which was an ABC station that syndicated UPN shows on the side). I was furious at the time and never forgot the moment when I read about the premature cancellation in the local paper, The Saint Louis Post Dispatch. Eventually the show came back to Saint Louis around season 6 or 7 but I never saw it because it ran at around 2 AM on a local religious station. Eventually, I caught up with the show through syndicated reruns after those became available. Somewhere around 2014, I was working on a student film project when someone told me about the TV Tropes website. It was through TV Tropes and the infamous "voodoo shark" entry that I ended up finding the SFDebris website. I ended up becoming a Patreon supporter for a few years until circumstances pulled me away from that. I always found the reviews to be entertaining and educational. I also use them to continually develop and refine my critical thinking processes. In closing, thanks for the many years of entertainment and best of luck with your future endeavors.
I was introduced to you through when you were on Channel Awesome. At first I watched an episode or two, from DS9. Months later, I found your website and started watching Voyager reviews straight up. Since then, I've taken the time to watch your stuff more and more. And I'm both sad and glad to finish this chapter.
I think Voyager biggest flaw is they didn't bother staying consistent with it's initial plots. Starfleet vs Maques crew members, being alone with no resources to stock up on, going in a straight line where for the most part you won't have reoccurring bad guys.
Honestly don't remember how I first found your website, cause that's where I first saw the show. Probably mentioned on The Agony Booth (RIP) or on Red Letter Media, but am glad I did, really made me appreciate the shows more. Congrats Chuck.
I'm so old... I remember actually enjoying SFDebris before confused matthew and linkara ever mentioned him. (in fact it was through Chuck I found CM) Fun times, Chuck. Fun times...
Speaking as someone who was in for the ride only in its final part (like from 2019 to today)--I hope one thing you get out of this is a sense of accomplishment. You did finish this task, and you've managed to entertain, amuse, delight, and - why not? - educate people along the way. I've always loved Star Trek, from TOS all the way to Picard (and yes, even the Orville). But so many of the things you said in your videos changed my opinions and made me see things differently. You may be 'opinionated', but you always gave reasons for your opinions, and you always made me think. I appreciate that. (Doesn't mean you weren't wrong about Dr. Bashir in The Quickening, though. That was a hell of an episode that managed to show DS9's willingness to discuss mature themes in an adult and thoughtful way, not just make Starfleet personal be the heroes that save the day; and you dismissed it with a simple 'well I wasn't really impressed/entertained'. Grrr!)
I remember finding the early Voyager reviews on RUclips just before the move, because at the time the show was being rerun on telly in my neck of the woods. I missed the whole move though, and found the new stuff on Blip a year or so later. I recognized that there was a forum at some point, but at that point, there was already an established population of users, which always makes it harder to enter. In time, it felt impossible and to this day, I've yet to sign on to the forum. I hope to enter it next year and become a regular user, but somehow, I feel that it is too late already. I can openly say that your videos, Chuck, have been a net positive in my life. From opening my eyes to how to view media from multiple points of views to touching me emotionally, as well as giving one of my favorite spoken fiction in Bushido Bots (not a joke here either), as well as giving this whole Star Trek thing a got for the third time. Between Star Wars and Star Trek, SW had always been more available as movies and games than ST here. The shows didn't have favorable airing times and were wildly out of order. Stargate had a bad airing time as well, but I could follow it easier at the time. The odd Voyager episode I saw didn't convince me, but the third VOY episode I saw convinced me there was something in the show, The Thaw. The episodes that aired after that made me lose all interest. However, after you started doing more TNG episodes, I decided to revisit the whole franchise from TNG on, and I made it my thing to watch a Star Trek series once per summer. It took a few years, but I had become a fan not by proxy through reviews, but through the shows themselves. I can appreciate VOY and ENT, but they don't occupy my shelf space like TOS, TAS, TNG, and DS9 do. When you reviewed Stargate's movie, I decided to repeat my test and started watching the show with friends. However, that plan has been halted due to those same friends and circumstances about. I probably have to watch it alone at this point. Despite being a silent viewer from the early years on, thanking probably isn't enough. It's a selfish hope that you'll never stop, as your content is like the meringue of life; it adds a beautiful sweetness on top of the cake of life. Not exactly necessary or healthy on a daily basis, but always enjoyable and hard to stop once you've started eating. The end of Voyager reviews probably means I'll have to revisit Voyager again and watch it from start to end the second time. I gave up on the first two attempts after watching Caretaker. However this time, I think I'll use your reviews as companion pieces to reflect on my own views on each of the episodes. Might take a bit longer to get to the final end credits, but I'm sure it would be worth it. So, thank you for all the Voyager, the rest of what's already done, and here's to all the others to come.
I started reading your written things back when you posted links on SDN back in the day then followed to youtube and blip and.... wow it has been a long time. Hard to believe the show is over but almost equally hard to believe it took this long to actually go through them all!
Cannot believe you reviewed them all - been reading and then watching from damn near the beginning, and it’s been a hell of a journey. This is a really weird thing to say to a stranger on the internet, but your humanity and earnestness leavened with jokes about spiders eating Harry Kim have genuinely taught me how to be a better person. Congrats, Chuck! And thank you! 🎉
I found your content in 2010, back when I was laid off. I spent two years unemployed and your content helped keep my brain active. I can never thank you enough for that. Your humor and jokes are great. My kids grew up hearing the theme songs and know what I'm watching. I can't believe you have done all of Voyager already. But I guess it makes sense with 15 years of weekly episodes. My analysis is the same. It had the potential to be better than it was, and that it is what is most irritating. Discovery just sucks, but Voyager could have been great.
I first started watching you in 2008. I didn't like your stuff very much at first, but I have since been proven wrong in my initial opinion. It challenged me to think and made me realise that I needed such a challenge. Thanks for everything, Chuck. (I say that even tough I'll be sticking around.)
I'm one of those who found you via Linkara, specifically, and I know this is weird, but I remember the moment was the end of his first set of History of Power Rangers(Huh, wonder when the next one is...), where he did a musical montage of the 'Zordon Era', and he mentioned you doing a similar thing with the same song he used, but for Trek. That, well, I was a fan of Trek at the time, and still am today, despite the downs that the show has been on writing-wise. I saw it all as good back in the day, and hell, I still like some episodes I know you don't(Masks), and don't like episodes I know you do(Bada Bing, Bada Bang). And that's the mark of a great critic. You never make me feel like I'm wrong for having an opinion...save maybe if you like some of the 0s, but those do tend to be crappy, so it would take a head tilt to see them as anything approaching watchable, let alone good in my opinion, so I'll be with you there. So, from a long time viewer with an opinion himself, I hope you continue to do this twenty years from now, being an entertainer for me, and all the people who enjoy watching your videos. You got me into Madoka Magicka, so I don't think I can ever hate you, and in fact, you are always a joy to watch or re-watch...time to rewatch the current run of Incredible, and wait for the next one patiently. That one's fantastic, and I love you for it.
I watched china beach in high school! I didn't realize how early on I started watching your stuff. I THINK I found you via confused matthew back in like 2008 or so.
I've been a fan since you had text reviews. You are a key part of my college life, really, so thank you. You've helped open my mind to new possibilities and better appreciate good and bad in my entertainment. Thank you.
Been following your videos since the days of your original youtube channel. Remember watching your old youtube era Voyager vids on here all those years ago :D
Thank you for the history lesson! This is quite nostalgic from a viewer's perspective. I reckon I've been watching 11 years or so, since I was in university. I remember when your video game reviews were a dazzling new possibility.
I don't remember how I came upon your show but I'm pretty sure it was during the Blip years before Maker Studios used it to make themselves pretty to Disney and raided the assets. I found, and still find, the reviews to be humorous but also a good examination of the work on its own and the message it gives. I'm looking forward to seeing what's next...and to eventually get caught up to where you are now with the rest of my YT backlog.
I guess I should comment something as well. I admit that these videos don't grab me as much as I used to, and these days I kinda have them in the background while doing other stuff; but still, thnak you for everything.
Congraturation! That's one down. Everybody is commenting on how they found your videos, so I'll just say for me it was history of transformers. That was fascinating stuff, and encouraged me to check out the rest. The mcdonald's comparison is good, but my thought was more like the earlier iteration of bart simpson, being described as an underachiever and proud of it.. on merchandise.
The journey has been fun and a trip. I will, as always, continue to be a faithful viewer to your wits, thoughts, lone wolves, and prompts for thinking, Trek or not. But... I'm just a viewer with an opinion.
Thank you for hosting the ride, and letting us come along with you this whole way. It's been a bit of a roller coaster, but it's also been great. Thank you, sir. I appreciate all that you've done for us.
Cheers big ears! I don't remember when I stumbled across you, if it was 2012, 2014 or such ~ Didn't know about China Beach, but now I have to watch it ..
Thanks for all the work and joy you have put into your commentary and reviews! I found it interesting that I too started futzing around with websites about the same time, though I made a practice ego website. I wonder how my life would be different if I followed through on the web stuff. . . but at least I get to listen to your great work!
Me and my brother have been watching your channel since about 2008 back when it was recommended from Confused Matthew's Trek reviews, and also interestingly enough Red Letter Media's review of Generations was also in the recommended, and I've stuck with you and RLM for different reasons but ultimately because I just liked the critical analysis. I even remember the old theme song days, "Kryptonite" for Enterprise and so on. I remember liking Roxette when I was young too, "She's Got the Look," great song. I felt the exact same way about Voyager since the beginning as you described, I was really excited for a new unique spinoff from TNG that would be forced to go new places. Then in season 2, the entire ship was hijacked by a race that, from what I could tell, didn't even have warp drive, and I dumped the show entirely and only 10 years later did I think to go back and watch only a handful of episodes that people mentioned as being good (still love Living Witness and Author Author and Life Line, but of course those are all about the same character).
I would love you to bring your special treatment to classic BSG and 1984's V. I'm rediscovering pre-1990s sci-fi and I LOVE it. I'll even donate if that would help.
Congratulations on completing the Voyager series. Here's to completing some more, and someday having them all uploaded on one site, without being flagged, struck, or dehosted. Out of curiosity, with VOY done, where do we stand on TOS, TAS, TNG, DS9, and ENT? (Edit: TOS 29 to go, TAS done, TNG 45 to go, DS9 60 to go, ENT 39 to go - plenty of Trek to last us a while longer.)
So far among the current stuff, he’s apathetic to Discovery and is implied to not be on board with Picard. On the other hand though he likes Lower Decks and is implied to like Strange New Worlds. Prodigy remains to be seen. l
I can't remember exactly when it was when I started watching. It was into the Channel Awesome era and I was already watching a lot of folk there and I think I'd heard Linkara (who was ultimately my entry into the Funny Video Reviewers thing, yet oddly I can never recall what it was of his that I first watched...) mentioned you by name. But I only came to watch the show when my mate (who has severe Asperger's and generally doesn't like live-action TV much) recommended it because he found it very funny. (I part, I think, because parodyJaneway was a level of over exaggeration he could actually, essentially "get" as he can't generally do with most acting.) I was house-sitting with him at the time (his parents were off ona much-needed holiday and my main job was to got fetch him McDonalds for meals because he'd eat that and woldn't leave the house otherwise). And while he was sleeping or working (his schedule is all over the place, since he doesn't run to a 24-hour rhythm), I decided to check it out. I decided I would start in style and begin with Threshold, notoriously the worst episode of Voyager and which I could see was a two-part review. And that, as they say was that. I don't quite watch EVERYTHING on the channel(s) (but heck, I don't even quite do that with Linkara, my unbashed favourite...); but I do watch the majority (and what I haven't seen just means it's there that I one day might). So, to the next 15 years, and may they be as entertaining for us, as fun (and as profitable or more) for you; and hopefully not contain quite so many domestic architectural surprises and such as the last...!
I got hooked on you back in 2009. My freshmen year of Undergrad. You've been with me through that, a career start, a career change, an MBA, and moving to a new city. Thanks for being a wonderful and thoughtful escape when I always needed it. Merry Christmas!
I started watching when I was in grad school, about 2012. I wish I had any memory about how I found the site, might have been TVTropes, but I spent many hours combing through the back catalogue. Thank you for all the years of laughs and insights, and here's to many more.
Looking forward to more Janeway voice when Chuck starts Prodigy.
She's a Firestarter. Crazy Firestarter
Hologram Janeway is sane, compassionate, rational, and kind. He'll be shook
@@Idunnoyouguessit there are still moments. Hologram Janeway's first move being to rip out a villain's life support tubes is gonna be perfect Chuck fodder
@@solutionless123 HELP! I'm trapped with a confessed arsonist!
I look forward to how he'll go about Prodigy, from the challenge of Parody Janeway integration to the look at the show itself, especially since Prodigy is so good.
I find myself in an odd position with SFDebris. I found his reviews looking for validation for my fandom of Voyager. Despite frequently disagreeing with him, I have found his reviews across various platforms sincere, thoughtful, and considered…and really funny, which always helps. I’m here for the long run, Chuck. Best wishes as always.
Voyager needs an episode order and chronological order play list
His site has them all listed in order. Not all the videos are on RUclips yet. But would still be helpful for what is.
I attribute you and Linkara as the primary reasons I got into Star Trek. At the time growing up in the mid 90's, it was during my Star Wars obsession that I first got exposed to Star Trek through UPN commercials of three words etched into my mind: Deep Space Nine. I never watched it but they were so memorable. Eventually around the time of Star Trek 2009 and when I started to watch Linkara, his History of Power Rangers video of Power Rangers in Space mentioned you in relation to a montage with Under Pressure, and the rest is history.
It was through your reviews that I was made aware of the wider Trek universe beyond Deep Space Nine, including Voyager and the endless humour of your reviews, Insaneway of Borg, Poor Dumb Harry, and Neelix the Shithead. In some weird bizarre way, I gotta thank Voyager for its mediocrity because of how it has eventually led you to do what you do best and set an example. Right now you're one of my favorite Internet reviewers for your ability to balance the serious, philosophical, goofy, and craziness, and on a genre I've loved and adored for all my life.
Barring reuploads and restorations, your looks at Voyager will be missed, but this is thankfully where Prodigy can come in and in a way sort of address some of the issues you've had with Voyager. I eagerly await the day when you will take a look at that show. Thank you so much again for everything Chuck, and may you and your family have a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
I definitely remember the UPN commercials that would always end in "...on the next Deep Space Nine." Alas, my English was not good enough at the time to understand the preview or the show. Years later I went back to watch DS9 upon learning (in large part to Chuck's reviews) that it was the only Trek show with real focus on continuity and I was not disappointed.
I had watched this video when it came out, but never bothered to leave a comment on it until now. Until this video, I hadn't realized how long I had been watching you. I DO remember the early days of when you used to post on RUclips, and the biggest point of reference I had from this video to indicate how early I had been watching, I remember when the non-Star TRek videos went to Blip, the RUclips channel would have basically videos letting people know about a new Blip upload. And then when the RUclips uploads of the Star Trek videos stopped, the RUclips channel became PRIMARILY trailers telling viewers to go to Blip to watch the latest review. Hell, I think it was that period that had me check out the site because it was just easier to look for a review, without juggling between RUclips reviews, RUclips trailers for the Blip videos, and then the actual Blip videos!
"Reflections of, the way life used to be..." will always come to mind whenever someone mentions China Beach. Thanks Chuck!
Even threshold had moments of amazing acting. The actors always killed it with what they were given.
Threshold was actually pretty good with Paris’ body horror and the general sense of danger with exploring space that the series should have been about. As soon as The Doctor stated Tom was actually ‘evolving’ instead of just mutating because he had been merged with an alien species due to the warp 10 flight, it went off the rails. The ending with the Tomway salamander babies was just insulting, but now hilarious in hindsight.
@@russellharrell2747 exactly. The episode was eerie, fascinating and compelling for about 2/3 of it's time.
Then that all changed in the weirdest way for absolutely no reason.
You can tell with what Ronald D Moore did with the BSG re-boot at the all kinds of potential missed from Voyager. Real shame they didn't let him do his thing when he moved over from DS9.
It amuses me that Chuck suggests punching Neelix with boxing gloves on, but boxing gloves protect the puncher's hands, not the person receiving the punch.
I remember you and confused matthew being some of the first "youtubers" I watched way back when I was in middle school. Feels like the end of an era without these.
I was hoping you'd say China Beach. Thank you. As a 40-year-old Argentinian, Trek fan, and general television enthusiast, your reviews have been an incredible experience. And I can't tell you how much your work has helped me through some very rough times and inspired me to improve my attitude towards my work and re-introduce creativity into it. And without any exaggeration or hyperbole, you have helped me avoid and overcome some very difficult moments in my life. Thank you.
Right there with ya, buddy! 😎🤘☮️
I posted a comment long ago about why Janeway snubbed Yuri Gagarin and you turned that into a hilarious joke in the Thaw Review. Thank you. You have helped me think more critically. I look forward to more of your projects after Voyager.
I've been here since before Blip, been a Patreon supporter since day one and I haven't missed a single Trek review Chuck has uploaded (requested a few, too) and I have loved every second of your output. Here's to 15 more years- god knows there's going to be enough Trek coming to keep you going for that long.
I rarely watch a rerun of Voyager anymore, I mostly just watch your reviews! Funny and informative reviews
You were my window into the world of Video Essay Criticism, a genre of entertainment and education that I could have never imagined and now can't live without. I somehow managed to find you even before AVGN and other big names, and I'm glad because you really set the bar not just for funny but for critical analysis of what makes a story work and not work.
Last year I started my first ever Let's Play, a full Deep Dive into Final Fantasy 14. It was inspired by your own work on Star Wars: The Old Republic and your general style of review and critique. It's currently being produced in text form, but I aspire to one day try converting them into video format, just like you. Thanks for making me a smarter consumer of media and helping to push me to create.
Man , I've been watching these for over a decade now... amazing.
I started watching your videos in 2011 when I was stationed in Korea. I've been watching your videos all over the world, and even requested Sugar Dirt before I got out of military.
Thanks for being there through the years!
Confused Mathew isn't a name I've heard in a long long time...
Isn't it funny that we've taken longer to explore Voyager than Voyager ever existed, I never thought the journey would end and yet here we are
I'm looking forward to what you decide to focus on next
Linkara is how I ended up here too. While I will admit my preference for review style leans more on the TGWTG style of over the top reactions rather than genuinely considering the quality of acting, writing, story etc, you have managed to consistently kept the entertainment high as you review things seriously.
I've been here for 12 years and your not getting rid of me any time soon! Loved the reflection on the shows history, you always make my day brighter! Keep up the good work, and I wish you good cheer!
I discovered the Voyager Guide by accident. I was actually looking for Starwars/Startrek cross overs and stumbled on his Unity Saga, pre rewrite. I always enjoyed his reading his reviews, then enjoyed watching them. Thank you Chuck for 15 years of entertainment.
"Rewrite?" When was that? Where _is_ that?
I had a very similar experience with Voyager. I was hyped. This was going to be awesome. I even remember thinking that Neelix looked like a really intriguing character, and I lked Kate Mulgrew and thought she was a great choice for a captain.
Then the show actually aired...
That's roughly my reaction to the Sequel Trilogy.
@@ImperatorPenguin I get you. I was hyped for The Force Awakens, and then it came out and was just meh. I didn't know that this was going to be the best it was going to get for a while... Man those last two movies blew.
My first encounter with you was in 2010 when I was looking for the transporter accident scene from TMP and found it...attached to a full review of the film.
Since then your channel has been a constant in my life. Here's to the next 12 years 🍻
To think we'd reach an end of the era. I showed up 2018 or so and you were just the neat star trek guy. Now you are the neat sci fi guy. Thanks for the silly but neat reviews.
My dad called out China Beach the moment Picardo came on screen when we watched it together. I was just a bit too young for it myself, but have since gone back and watched it.
It's moments like this I'm reminded of a simple phrase:
So long and thanks for all the fish
I'm gonna miss his Voyager reviews, they were always a blast.
Now that he's done, you can always go back and start from the beginning. 😉 Still, there's the magic of the journey, though. And seeing as how they were reviewed out of order, that continuity might be hard to damn near impossible to recreate. But still, I have to be honest and say at least one marathon viewing is left in my future. Although, I must admit that the tighter BS copyright enforcement that has decimated the full motion scenes from the pre-remastered era reviews makes me sad. I hope Chuck has all those saved somewhere even after he uploads the remastered ones. I would love to have a private online watch party stream someday, maybe... 😉
Thanks, Chuck. I've been here since about early 2009, and this is quite the end of an era. Good thing there's still about a Voyager's-worth of TOS, TNG and DS9 episodes still to go!
Here's to another 15 years!
It is quite remarkable to see the conclusion of all the Voyager reviews. I was there quite early in the RUclips days, laughing like the moronic teenager that I was. I'm happy to still be here, laughing like a moronic adult, a good fourteen years later. I watched Voyager as a kid on BBC 2 and found myself perplexed by how little I cared for the show. I loved TNG and much of DS9 when I watched those shows, but as a child, Voyager was beige. It was aggressively dull. I was confused, knowing that logically I should enjoy it. I loved the concept, I loved space, and I loved science fiction, so why did I not like Voyager? I was too young to understand and form a reasoned opinion, then I moved on and grew up.
Watching your Voyager reviews in those early days, years later, were a revelation. I didn't agree with everything, but those videos helped me resolve that childhood confusion, to experience Voyager anew. For what it's worth, Chuck, thank you for that.
You talking about the move from RUclips to Blip reminded me that's when I first started watching you. I can't remember how I found you, only that I binged a bunch of episodes and that not long after they were all gone and I was worried it was for good. I think from then until now I have checked your site for new episodes most days. It's been a long time.
It's a privilege to witness the end of an era. I forget exactly when I discovered you, but it was definitely around the time that SpikeTV (remember them?) was airing Voyager for the first time. Your reviews were always so funny and encouraged me to think a little bit more critically about the media I was consuming.
I remember being in the middle of watching your review of First Contact when you had to start pulling stuff off of RUclips. Wondering if there would be any more. And again when Blip went under. I'm glad you made it to the end, Chuck.
Here's to more laughs! (And damn the copyright bots)
Crazy journey with a crazier captain, thanks for guiding us through it, Chuck!
I stumbled across your reviews in 2014 , and I have been watching them regularly ever since .
Entertaining, Funny , Thought provoking ,
and always an original voice .
Chuck , please keep up the good work with your next projects.
15 more years ! 😊
I first became aware of SF Debris' channel on Blip via Linkara, back in 2011 or 2012. I appreciate the wry humor, and stayed for the insightful reviews. Chuck, may you continue to entertain us with your wit, and I hope to be along for the ride.
Honestly, I'm not sure if it was through Linkara or old Confused Matthew, but god, it was a long time ago. Can't remember the exact time, somewhere after you left RUclips, but before you started your look at the overarching storyline of VOY season 2, 2012 maybe? You've been my favorite internet person of all time. I'M positive you've got me into Star Trek and probably ton of other things I can't even remember not being into.
Thank you for the years of entertainment. Here is to many more new reviews, your health, your abode remaining liveable, and hopefully prosperity to go along with all of that.
➡️🐄👈🏖
I'd forgotten this but, I'd been watching your reviews since you had around ten videos up, and I loved Parody Janeway so much that I wanted a show based around her, and when Rick and Morty first came out I immediately thought: "This is that catharsis I wanted from that character."
"I remember him from China Beach!"
Could be worse......I remembered Picardo from The Wonder Years.
I found you in 2013 via TvTropes. Congrats for the milestone and thank you for all the years of great content
What a ride it was. Thank you, Chuck.
I remember first hearing about you through Confused Matthew and been on this ride ever since, through RUclips to Blip and back. Really appreciate the time you've given to these reviews, going into the details and behind the scenes. I do find the reviews to be a nice comfort piece to have on at times when I need some downtime, so thank you for the many years of educating and entertainment, Chuck. Here's to what lies in the great beyond without having to deal with Voyager anymore.
Chuck's Parody Janeway will always be a highlight for me. She was so much fun
Edit: Oh yeah, Blip. I miss Blip
I've been trying to figure out when I started watching Chuck's reviews. It was for sure back int he old RUclips days, but I'm not sure how early on. Kinda hard to remember because after watching a few episodes, I was diving back into whatever backlog there was at the time and watching (and probably rewatching) them on a regular basis. I had to have started watching by at the latest 2008 when I was finishing up college, because by the time I got my first job out of school, I was fully ensconced in the habit of watching the new review every week when I sat down at my desk and started work on Saturday.
That habit has remained for many, many years. I have long stopped watching nearly all of the reviewers and producers I watched back then. But Chuck's videos? Still here. Still watching like clockwork. Maybe not the day they come out any more. Life seems to always become far busier and time seemingly less bountiful as the years have ticked on. But I still love watching the videos. They're always the perfect blend of insightful and sarcastic; informative and funny.
It's so funny to see the completion of reviews on the series that started everything. All I can really say is thanks. Thanks for still doing these videos. It's provided many years of entertainment, and I truly look forward to seeing everything that comes next.
Thanks, Chuck. Voyager reviews were always my favorite from you. They will be missed (then rewatched).
Voyager has always been a bit of a nostalgia thing for me. I watched the first few seasons as a kid and thought the show was entertaining. The show was then suddenly taken off the air in Saint Louis as of "Waking Moments" because of a contractual disagreement between UPN (which did not have a Saint Louis affiliate) and KDNL (which was an ABC station that syndicated UPN shows on the side). I was furious at the time and never forgot the moment when I read about the premature cancellation in the local paper, The Saint Louis Post Dispatch. Eventually the show came back to Saint Louis around season 6 or 7 but I never saw it because it ran at around 2 AM on a local religious station. Eventually, I caught up with the show through syndicated reruns after those became available. Somewhere around 2014, I was working on a student film project when someone told me about the TV Tropes website. It was through TV Tropes and the infamous "voodoo shark" entry that I ended up finding the SFDebris website. I ended up becoming a Patreon supporter for a few years until circumstances pulled me away from that. I always found the reviews to be entertaining and educational. I also use them to continually develop and refine my critical thinking processes. In closing, thanks for the many years of entertainment and best of luck with your future endeavors.
I was introduced to you through when you were on Channel Awesome. At first I watched an episode or two, from DS9. Months later, I found your website and started watching Voyager reviews straight up. Since then, I've taken the time to watch your stuff more and more. And I'm both sad and glad to finish this chapter.
I think Voyager biggest flaw is they didn't bother staying consistent with it's initial plots. Starfleet vs Maques crew members, being alone with no resources to stock up on, going in a straight line where for the most part you won't have reoccurring bad guys.
Honestly don't remember how I first found your website, cause that's where I first saw the show. Probably mentioned on The Agony Booth (RIP) or on Red Letter Media, but am glad I did, really made me appreciate the shows more. Congrats Chuck.
Oh my gosh, congratulations, Chuck!
Congrats on the big milestone. Been enjoying your reviews for the better part of 15 years. Appreciate your insightful analysis and commentary on Trek.
I've been watching your reviews, on and off, since your early RUclips days, and I have to say, it's been a pleasure, Chuck 😊
I'm so old... I remember actually enjoying SFDebris before confused matthew and linkara ever mentioned him. (in fact it was through Chuck I found CM)
Fun times, Chuck. Fun times...
I grinned with delight seeing Ethan Phillips show up in Better Call Saul
You know I remember seeing the fifth anniversary special when it released and thiming 'oh man five years? I feel so old'
Speaking as someone who was in for the ride only in its final part (like from 2019 to today)--I hope one thing you get out of this is a sense of accomplishment. You did finish this task, and you've managed to entertain, amuse, delight, and - why not? - educate people along the way. I've always loved Star Trek, from TOS all the way to Picard (and yes, even the Orville). But so many of the things you said in your videos changed my opinions and made me see things differently. You may be 'opinionated', but you always gave reasons for your opinions, and you always made me think. I appreciate that.
(Doesn't mean you weren't wrong about Dr. Bashir in The Quickening, though. That was a hell of an episode that managed to show DS9's willingness to discuss mature themes in an adult and thoughtful way, not just make Starfleet personal be the heroes that save the day; and you dismissed it with a simple 'well I wasn't really impressed/entertained'. Grrr!)
I remember finding the early Voyager reviews on RUclips just before the move, because at the time the show was being rerun on telly in my neck of the woods. I missed the whole move though, and found the new stuff on Blip a year or so later. I recognized that there was a forum at some point, but at that point, there was already an established population of users, which always makes it harder to enter. In time, it felt impossible and to this day, I've yet to sign on to the forum. I hope to enter it next year and become a regular user, but somehow, I feel that it is too late already.
I can openly say that your videos, Chuck, have been a net positive in my life. From opening my eyes to how to view media from multiple points of views to touching me emotionally, as well as giving one of my favorite spoken fiction in Bushido Bots (not a joke here either), as well as giving this whole Star Trek thing a got for the third time.
Between Star Wars and Star Trek, SW had always been more available as movies and games than ST here. The shows didn't have favorable airing times and were wildly out of order. Stargate had a bad airing time as well, but I could follow it easier at the time. The odd Voyager episode I saw didn't convince me, but the third VOY episode I saw convinced me there was something in the show, The Thaw. The episodes that aired after that made me lose all interest. However, after you started doing more TNG episodes, I decided to revisit the whole franchise from TNG on, and I made it my thing to watch a Star Trek series once per summer. It took a few years, but I had become a fan not by proxy through reviews, but through the shows themselves. I can appreciate VOY and ENT, but they don't occupy my shelf space like TOS, TAS, TNG, and DS9 do. When you reviewed Stargate's movie, I decided to repeat my test and started watching the show with friends. However, that plan has been halted due to those same friends and circumstances about. I probably have to watch it alone at this point.
Despite being a silent viewer from the early years on, thanking probably isn't enough. It's a selfish hope that you'll never stop, as your content is like the meringue of life; it adds a beautiful sweetness on top of the cake of life. Not exactly necessary or healthy on a daily basis, but always enjoyable and hard to stop once you've started eating.
The end of Voyager reviews probably means I'll have to revisit Voyager again and watch it from start to end the second time. I gave up on the first two attempts after watching Caretaker. However this time, I think I'll use your reviews as companion pieces to reflect on my own views on each of the episodes. Might take a bit longer to get to the final end credits, but I'm sure it would be worth it.
So, thank you for all the Voyager, the rest of what's already done, and here's to all the others to come.
Wow, that was a nostalgia trip! Blip was so good, for a while...
Thanks for all the awesome video reviews over the years
I started reading your written things back when you posted links on SDN back in the day then followed to youtube and blip and.... wow it has been a long time. Hard to believe the show is over but almost equally hard to believe it took this long to actually go through them all!
Trains: work
Planes: work
Hyperloop: can't work
Cannot believe you reviewed them all - been reading and then watching from damn near the beginning, and it’s been a hell of a journey.
This is a really weird thing to say to a stranger on the internet, but your humanity and earnestness leavened with jokes about spiders eating Harry Kim have genuinely taught me how to be a better person. Congrats, Chuck! And thank you! 🎉
I found your content in 2010, back when I was laid off. I spent two years unemployed and your content helped keep my brain active. I can never thank you enough for that. Your humor and jokes are great. My kids grew up hearing the theme songs and know what I'm watching.
I can't believe you have done all of Voyager already. But I guess it makes sense with 15 years of weekly episodes. My analysis is the same. It had the potential to be better than it was, and that it is what is most irritating.
Discovery just sucks, but Voyager could have been great.
Thank you and Linkara for the ride and hopefully many more
Funny thing was, I found you before Linkara and was like: cool that he mentions SFdebris.
No, my thanks is to you for giving me so many years of enjoyment.
Now that Voyager is done, and what an amazing accomplishment by the way!, I'm personally hoping for more DS9 reviews!
That Pinkertons line got me good.
I first started watching you in 2008. I didn't like your stuff very much at first, but I have since been proven wrong in my initial opinion. It challenged me to think and made me realise that I needed such a challenge.
Thanks for everything, Chuck. (I say that even tough I'll be sticking around.)
These Voyager reviews (and all your content) have brought me a lot of joy over the years. So thank you!
I'm one of those who found you via Linkara, specifically, and I know this is weird, but I remember the moment was the end of his first set of History of Power Rangers(Huh, wonder when the next one is...), where he did a musical montage of the 'Zordon Era', and he mentioned you doing a similar thing with the same song he used, but for Trek.
That, well, I was a fan of Trek at the time, and still am today, despite the downs that the show has been on writing-wise. I saw it all as good back in the day, and hell, I still like some episodes I know you don't(Masks), and don't like episodes I know you do(Bada Bing, Bada Bang).
And that's the mark of a great critic. You never make me feel like I'm wrong for having an opinion...save maybe if you like some of the 0s, but those do tend to be crappy, so it would take a head tilt to see them as anything approaching watchable, let alone good in my opinion, so I'll be with you there.
So, from a long time viewer with an opinion himself, I hope you continue to do this twenty years from now, being an entertainer for me, and all the people who enjoy watching your videos. You got me into Madoka Magicka, so I don't think I can ever hate you, and in fact, you are always a joy to watch or re-watch...time to rewatch the current run of Incredible, and wait for the next one patiently. That one's fantastic, and I love you for it.
I watched china beach in high school!
I didn't realize how early on I started watching your stuff. I THINK I found you via confused matthew back in like 2008 or so.
Merry Christmas, Chuck. Can't wait for Parody Janeway in Prodigy.
I always thought that if somehow, I got put in charge of Star Trek, the first thing I would do is hire Chuck.
I WAS THAT PERSON!
Love China Beach
Thank you for years of laughs and insights!
I've been a fan since you had text reviews. You are a key part of my college life, really, so thank you. You've helped open my mind to new possibilities and better appreciate good and bad in my entertainment. Thank you.
Been following your videos since the days of your original youtube channel. Remember watching your old youtube era Voyager vids on here all those years ago :D
We love you, man.
1 down 9(pending) too go! Honestly congrats on this achievement
Two down, The Animated Series has long since been covered.
Oh yeah, also all the movies
Thank you Chuck. Love your work. I hope you are well, and be vigilant for suprise chimney 2: electric Boogaloo.
Thank you for the history lesson! This is quite nostalgic from a viewer's perspective. I reckon I've been watching 11 years or so, since I was in university. I remember when your video game reviews were a dazzling new possibility.
I don't remember how I came upon your show but I'm pretty sure it was during the Blip years before Maker Studios used it to make themselves pretty to Disney and raided the assets. I found, and still find, the reviews to be humorous but also a good examination of the work on its own and the message it gives. I'm looking forward to seeing what's next...and to eventually get caught up to where you are now with the rest of my YT backlog.
I guess I should comment something as well. I admit that these videos don't grab me as much as I used to, and these days I kinda have them in the background while doing other stuff; but still, thnak you for everything.
Thank you Mr debris
Congraturation! That's one down.
Everybody is commenting on how they found your videos, so I'll just say for me it was history of transformers. That was fascinating stuff, and encouraged me to check out the rest.
The mcdonald's comparison is good, but my thought was more like the earlier iteration of bart simpson, being described as an underachiever and proud of it.. on merchandise.
The journey has been fun and a trip. I will, as always, continue to be a faithful viewer to your wits, thoughts, lone wolves, and prompts for thinking, Trek or not. But... I'm just a viewer with an opinion.
Definitely hoping you don't retire Evil Janeway. She's my favorite sfdebris character for sure.
Thank you for hosting the ride, and letting us come along with you this whole way.
It's been a bit of a roller coaster, but it's also been great.
Thank you, sir.
I appreciate all that you've done for us.
Cheers big ears!
I don't remember when I stumbled across you, if it was 2012, 2014 or such ~
Didn't know about China Beach, but now I have to watch it ..
I hope my video request for Buckaroo Banzai comes out. No matter where you go, there you are.
i love star trek, but i love it more through your eyes. thank you
I believe Janeway making an appearance every once and a while would by all means be a very good thing. Special occasions, though. Keep us wanting. 😉
Thanks for all the work and joy you have put into your commentary and reviews! I found it interesting that I too started futzing around with websites about the same time, though I made a practice ego website. I wonder how my life would be different if I followed through on the web stuff. . . but at least I get to listen to your great work!
Thanks, Chuck.
Me and my brother have been watching your channel since about 2008 back when it was recommended from Confused Matthew's Trek reviews, and also interestingly enough Red Letter Media's review of Generations was also in the recommended, and I've stuck with you and RLM for different reasons but ultimately because I just liked the critical analysis. I even remember the old theme song days, "Kryptonite" for Enterprise and so on. I remember liking Roxette when I was young too, "She's Got the Look," great song.
I felt the exact same way about Voyager since the beginning as you described, I was really excited for a new unique spinoff from TNG that would be forced to go new places. Then in season 2, the entire ship was hijacked by a race that, from what I could tell, didn't even have warp drive, and I dumped the show entirely and only 10 years later did I think to go back and watch only a handful of episodes that people mentioned as being good (still love Living Witness and Author Author and Life Line, but of course those are all about the same character).
I would love you to bring your special treatment to classic BSG and 1984's V. I'm rediscovering pre-1990s sci-fi and I LOVE it.
I'll even donate if that would help.
Congratulations on completing the Voyager series. Here's to completing some more, and someday having them all uploaded on one site, without being flagged, struck, or dehosted.
Out of curiosity, with VOY done, where do we stand on TOS, TAS, TNG, DS9, and ENT?
(Edit: TOS 29 to go, TAS done, TNG 45 to go, DS9 60 to go, ENT 39 to go - plenty of Trek to last us a while longer.)
Poor Chuck. They keep adding Star Trek and he can only review so fast. Must be terrible to have more Trek to see!
So far among the current stuff, he’s apathetic to Discovery and is implied to not be on board with Picard. On the other hand though he likes Lower Decks and is implied to like Strange New Worlds. Prodigy remains to be seen. l
Been on this ride for 10 years, lets see where it leads us.
I can't remember exactly when it was when I started watching. It was into the Channel Awesome era and I was already watching a lot of folk there and I think I'd heard Linkara (who was ultimately my entry into the Funny Video Reviewers thing, yet oddly I can never recall what it was of his that I first watched...) mentioned you by name. But I only came to watch the show when my mate (who has severe Asperger's and generally doesn't like live-action TV much) recommended it because he found it very funny. (I part, I think, because parodyJaneway was a level of over exaggeration he could actually, essentially "get" as he can't generally do with most acting.)
I was house-sitting with him at the time (his parents were off ona much-needed holiday and my main job was to got fetch him McDonalds for meals because he'd eat that and woldn't leave the house otherwise). And while he was sleeping or working (his schedule is all over the place, since he doesn't run to a 24-hour rhythm), I decided to check it out.
I decided I would start in style and begin with Threshold, notoriously the worst episode of Voyager and which I could see was a two-part review.
And that, as they say was that.
I don't quite watch EVERYTHING on the channel(s) (but heck, I don't even quite do that with Linkara, my unbashed favourite...); but I do watch the majority (and what I haven't seen just means it's there that I one day might).
So, to the next 15 years, and may they be as entertaining for us, as fun (and as profitable or more) for you; and hopefully not contain quite so many domestic architectural surprises and such as the last...!
I got hooked on you back in 2009. My freshmen year of Undergrad. You've been with me through that, a career start, a career change, an MBA, and moving to a new city. Thanks for being a wonderful and thoughtful escape when I always needed it.
Merry Christmas!
I started watching when I was in grad school, about 2012. I wish I had any memory about how I found the site, might have been TVTropes, but I spent many hours combing through the back catalogue. Thank you for all the years of laughs and insights, and here's to many more.
