8-->-- SF Debris' Opinionated (Voyager / Enterprise / TNG / Deep Space Nine) Guide

10[[http://www.sfdebris.com/ SF Debris,]] once known as Sci-Fi Debris, is a website run by Chuck Sonnenburg, a long-time member of various ''Franchise/StarTrek'' and ''Franchise/StarWars'' online fan communities as well as a big fan of ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000''. What he and the website are mostly known for these days are his "Opinionated ''Franchise/StarTrek Episode Guides"'', snarky-but-loving reviews of the ''Trek'' franchise.
11
12Since 2008, he's taken his reviews onto a video format on [[https://www.youtube.com/user/sfdebris YouTube]], Blip (now defunct), Screenwave, Vidme (now also defunct), and Platform/{{Vimeo}}, growing in popularity. His style, a mixture of serious analysis peppered with deadpan humour played over clips from the show, has begun to catch on with other reviewers (including [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]], who borrowed one of his ideas, and eventually led to Linkara's own series, ''WebVideo/HistoryOfPowerRangers''). His site also features a few essays (including a history of how ComicBook/SpiderMan has declined in quality) and his (two trilogy, 250 chapter) crossover FanFiction, FanFic/TheUnitySaga. And now he's branched out some more with the ''Franchise/StarWars'' {{Gag Sub}} "Astromech Spy" and three serious documentaries about the Making and Rise of Franchise/StarWars as well as its creator, Creator/GeorgeLucas, with the 100-minute ''The Hero's Journey'', the nearly-three-hour ''The Shadow's Journey'', and the slightly over three hours ''The Hermit's Journey''
13
14Often compared (and paired) with WebVideo/ConfusedMatthew, to the point where CM had been kind enough to give him a dedicated sub-forum; particularly useful as the two have a similar fanbase anyway, though now he ([=SFDebris=]) has his own [[http://sfdebris.net/forum/index.php forum]]. He also made a cameo in the 200th episode of ''Atop The Fourth Wall''.
15
16On May 12, 2011, ''all'' of his ''Star Trek'' reviews were removed from [[https://www.youtube.com/user/sfdebris Youtube]], as a pre-emptive measure when Creator/{{CBS}} (which has been cracking down severely on other ''Star Trek'' fan channels as well) filed a claim against his "Trials and Tribble-ations" review. As Creator/TheBBC has already done the same with his ''Series/RedDwarf'' reviews, under the Youtube "three strikes" policy, he now has only one strike remaining.
17
18He announced on July 29th 2014 that he'd been accepted to Website/ChannelAwesome via one of the site's talent searches. He officially started appearing on the site on October 11th. On March 24th 2018 he announced his departure from Channel Awesome.
19
20Following Blip's closure on August 20th 2015, the show went on a brief hiatus. Chuck returned on September 1st and used Screenwave as his host, but in early May 2017, he had to switch over to Vidme like everyone else who used Screenwave's player on their sites. Vidme going under relatively shortly thereafter necessitated yet another move to Vimeo, only for the later to eventually start flagging all his ''Star Trek'' content forcing him to migrate those to Dailymotion, which in January 2021, also suddenly removed his videos. He now instead uses a mixture of Youtube (mainly for so called ''A Look At'' videos consisting mostly of him narrating over static screens rather than video) and Bitchute.
