I generally like SFDebris, but there's two things that he did/does (one specific one, one he's done a few times) that can really annoy me: - When he did a review of the Voyager episode Blink Of An Eye (the one where they are orbiting a planet that is rotating super-fast and thus progressing through time quickly), he prefaces the review that he doesn't compare episodes to anything else, but to other episodes in the series. He proceeds to compare the episode to some hard sci-fi book from 1980, even going so far as to say the folks writing it plagarized the content. I was specifically sensitive to this at the time, because I was watching his review on the heels of reading David Gerrold's book on the making of The Trouble With Tribbles. That book had a chunk of words spent on how writers can often invent similar stories without realizing it, and that nothing gets on-air without a lawyer or six making sure that things aren't too close. - Sometimes, he dedicates an entire pre-movie/episode review to something someone said, which lasts for a good 20-30 minutes. While I'm sure he intends these as intelligent rebuttals or discussions on what has been said, it never ceases coming across to me as Chuck being super defensive about what someone said about his work.

Having read the book in question ("Dragon's Egg" by Robert L. Forward), yeeeeeah, that Voyager episode is pretty much a ripoff.

I've given up on Spoony. I've just deleted my pledge on Patreon and I can't believe I supported him for over a year. He was making rewards like CAH streams that only happen 2 or 3 times a year, he promised a DVD of most of his reviews (in an .ISO file) even though he could've been sued for copyright infringement (unless some of his movies were in the public domain), and all he does nowadays are wrestling and Counter Monkey videos...and he barely makes them all year round. I don't think I can ever forgive Noah for scamming me like a complete arsehole.

You are the subject of the Spoony Experiment, an experiment run by a madman attempting to determine the impossible: how to get the most Patreon money for the least effort. Really, other than apparently not meeting his tier rewards, it wouldn't be hard to fix Spoony's business model into something that doesn't piss people off: Make separate Patreons for all of his series. A Wrestle Wrestle Patreon, a Counter Monkey Patreon, a Filmed Review with Dumb Spoony Plot Patreon. Make the payments per video rather than monthly (and you can cap per video rates per month, so you won't go broke when Spoony releases one vlog in 12 parts). Granted right now Spoony is basically using the same business model as a cable TV provider.

I say Lupa because she was the one to make Spoony get pissed, thus setting off the chain reaction on Twitter, and eventually CA both suspending and banning him from the site. Also to add insult to injury, she detailed why Spoony's joke was tasteless and proved he was a raging sensitive dickhead.

I really dislike Spoony now/lately, but if my memory serves me he's the first Internet Critic I discovered. I was looking up the Dragonstrike tape and found his review of it.poparena posted:Having read the book in question ("Dragon's Egg" by Robert L. Forward), yeeeeeah, that Voyager episode is pretty much a ripoff. I read it too, and both hit pretty much every beat you can with "what happens if the planet underneath has a year every minute up here". Plus, the Voyager episode had The Doctor turning into a Chicago-style sports meatball for a minute, so it wins out. MisterBibs fucked around with this message at 01:06 on Sep 2, 2015 |

But I have no idea who. I'll see if I can pull up my browser history at work. FYI: I tried to just search YouTube for you. My first two hits were an overweight neckbeard doing a thinkpiece on the episode-- and a LordKat video that was two loving hours long. I'm guessing you want neither of those. edit: clarification: I was referring to HashTagThatEpisodeYesThatOne

So then Tuco would be a Brute and Angel Eyes would be the Bad Guy. Edit: I don't actually know italian, but it's sort-of related to french, so I'm just guessing here.
