History SFDebris / TropesMToR

-->"Now I know what some of you probably want to say. "Come on, [=SFDebris=], give it a rest, you're reaching." To which I have two things to say: First, you can call me "Chuck", we're all friends here. And I'm fully aware that as a personal name, "[=SFDebris=]" sounds like the secret identity of a [[UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks Silver Age]] Creator/{{DC|Comics}} villain."

** [[WesternAnimation/TransformersTheMovie Springer]] pecker slaps Hot Rod after the impulsive dolt seems all too quick to forget that his last stupid stunt cost Optimus Prime his life.

** The "Female Changling" character in [[Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine DS9]] is referred to as "Sanders" for the final block of episodes. This is based purely on the fact that her skin condition resembles [[UsefulNotes/KentuckyFriedChicken fried chicken]].

** Not satisfied with Data's rather flat death and lame wake in ''Nemesis'', Chuck throws together a montage of Data dreaming and experiencing human things while the narration of Jor-El from ''Film/{{Superman}}'' plays.

** "Sacrifice of Angels" (''[[Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine DS9]]''): Chuck covered the opening arc of [=DS9=] season 6 in its original story order. Several (all?) of these reviews had at least one reference to ''[[Film/BlazingSaddles]]'', usually in the form of a joke mirroring the film. The final episode, "Sacrifice of Angels", ends with the theme song from ''Blazing Saddles'' over shots of Benjamin Sisko returning to Deep Space Nine after retaking it from the Dominion.

* MagicAIsMagicA:
** He gets annoyed when this gets averted.
---> '''Chuck''': All I ask is that you be ''consistent'' with your bullshit!
** Similarly criticises when this happens in ''Series/TorchwoodMiracleDay'', as the first four episodes featured people alive ''and'' conscious despite being reduced to [[LosingYourHead severed heads]], yet the very next episode has those same people being knocked out without much difficulty.

* MyNameIsNotDurwood: Co-Executive Producer Brandon Braga!
-->"It's uh, ''Brannon.'' We've worked together for nine years I..thought you'd have remembered that."
** Kirk demoting Captain "Dicker" back down to XO and stealing his ship, just so the little prick learns his place.
--->"Sorry, Dicker, shit rolls downhill."
** [[WesternAnimation/TransformersTheMovie Springer]] pecker slaps Hot Rod after the impulsive dolt seems all too quick to forget that his last stupid stunt cost Optimus Prime his life.
--->"Yeah, if you have any more feelings, ''feel'' free to keep them to yourself, Rimjob."
--->"It's... it's Hot Rod."
--->"No, it's Rimjob now!"

** Inverted with Picard, when it comes to fights ("Not in the face!"), but played straight when it comes to his speeches (even the sanctimonious ones).

** "Author Author" (''[[Series/StarTrekVoyager VOY]]''): References two former {{Musical Gag}}s simultaneously, when the Doctor tells Janeway that her holo-novel character is nothing like her because the real Janeway has never executed any of her crewmembers. Cue the Tuvix execution scene (from the episode "Tuvix"), this time using a snippet of "Big in Japan" (previously used in "Parallax") instead of "Still Alive" (used in the "Tuvix Coda").

'''Chuck:''' ...and who all have food poisoning thanks to Neelix's cooking, so we're left with him going down instead.

** "Tsunkatse" (''[[Series/StarTrekVoyager VOY]]''): Early in the review, Chuck shows a shot from the episode where Seven and Tuvok are sitting together in a shuttle, doing and saying nothing for many long seconds. He remarks that this episode is "definitely the most successful ''Star Trek'' adaptation of a Music/SimonAndGarfunkel song" - alluding to "The Sound of Silence" - and then singing the famous first line from that song when the lights in the shuttle suddenly go out. Then, in a brilliant BrickJoke, the review ends with a long montage of scenes from the episode accompanied by the original rendition of that very same song, perfectly matching the events of the episode.

'''Chuck:''' ''When some guy outranks you''\\

** From "Unimatrix Zero" (''[[Series/StarTrekVoyager VOY]]''): Pretending to be mad with him, Chakotay sternly orders Paris to open a small box (which actually contains a gift):
---> ''[To the tune of "That's Amore"]''\\

--->'''Pat Benatar:''' You're a heart-breaker...\\

'''Pat Benatar:''' Love-taker, don't you mess around with me!

'''Chuck:''' When some guy outranks you\\
and tells you what to do\\
that's an order!
