These are what we call the 'YMMV items.' Things that some people find in this work. We call them 'your mileage might vary' because not everyone sees these things in the same way. This starts discussions in the trope lists, a thing we don't want. Please use the discussion page if you'd like to discuss any of these items.
YMMV: SF Debris
Acceptable Targets: As stated in his review of "Conscience of the King", Chuck is very much an equal-opportunities offender, leaving no-one and nothing Star Trek-related sacred.
Adaptation Displacement: The video reviews started life in text format; many of the earliest Opinionated Voyager Guides were taken verbatim from the text-only versions. This helps to explain the Early Installment Weirdness, as they predate all the catch phrases and running gags he introduced later (though he's been shoehorning them in ever since he started re-uploading them).
Big Lipped Alligator Moment: His review of The Outrageous Okona pauses for a couple of minutes while he conducts a hilarious "battle of the wikis" between Wookieepedia and Memory Alpha. He compares their web pages that are devoted to breasts.
His recap of Next Generation events in his Star Trek: Generations review (sung to the tune of the William Tell Overture), which he specifically warns never to bring up again as soon as it's over.
Fans are still bringing it up - by requesting the song in audio format. It's widely considered a Crowning Moment of Awesome.
After seeing Riker in a coma during Shades of Gray, Chuck cuts to...wait for it...a floating Riker head bobbing along to Donuts, Go Nuts!
And he pauses mid review of Profit and Lace to talk about the wonders of Quaker Oats products.
Crazy Awesome: His version of Janeway, especially after the events of the "Unimatrix Zero" review, where her plan A to fight the Borg involves getting assimilated.
Two words. MIND-BOMB!
Ironically, this would make Janeway one of the greatest heroes of the Dominion War. If that fleet got through, the Federation would have lost the war however, it was just so that the Dominion wouldn't conquer it out from under her.
Also, in place of Good Angel, Bad Angel, she apparently has bad angel, an atom embodying her intelligence, a confused cowboy (whose identity shoulder devil would steal), and...a hungry spider.
Crosses the Line Twice: From the reboot, about the death of Spock's mother: "Yo momma so dead, the only thing going down on her now are the worms!"
In the review of the STAS episode "Yesteryear", when talking about putting down fictional animals, Chuck mentions the time when Rainbow Dash broke her leg and had to be put down. Smash-cut to "I can still fly!" BANG!
Crowning Music of Awesome: Using "Adiemus" as the theme song for his Farscape reviews. The song and the show work so well together, it's amazing to think they're actually completely unrelated.
Similarly, AC/DC's "Who Made Who" is a quite fitting theme song for Blade Runner.
"Eve of Destruction" as the theme for the Evangelion review is pitch-perfect, especially with the shot of the blood-red sea during the lyric about bodies floating in the River Jordan.
Also, Johnny Cash's "When the Man Comes Around" is used to excellent effect during the opening of his review of The Day After
Draco in Leather Pants: Discussed in his Avatar review, where he opines that he doesn't believe Azula deserves much or any of the sympathy fans often give her because although her upbringing explains some of her tendencies, it doesn't excuse them and unlike other characters with similar or worse upbringings that work to overcome their flaws, she does nothing to get over hers.
In "The Naked Now", he jokes about the Cyrillic lettering on the USS Tsiolkovsky's dedication plaque, specifically claiming that Russia is so poor that they have to use the number 3 instead of a letter. The 3-looking letter is actually the Cyrillic letter Z, but Chuck never mentions this. Then, in a Genius BonusBrick Joke later in the episode, he calls Wesley a "spaz - S, P, A, three, spaz!" In fact, this was so much of a genius bonus that he actually had people trying to correct him in the comments.
The only reason Kirk became a Captain was because of droit du seigneur.
That wasn't entirely Jack Black's fault, the "Peeing" scene was in the original version of the story.
His final consensus of the Doctor Who story The Underwater Menace was that he would not mind if the lost parts of the story (the first, second and fourth episodes) were never found. Later that year, and for the first time since 2005, two episodes of Doctor Who were found...one of which was from The Underwater Menace.
In his review of Star Trek: First Contact, he dismisses the idea of an anti-radiation medicine as "ludicrous". In 2011, say hello to Ex-Rad, U.S.-developed drug to counter the effects of radiation exposure.
During his review of Mass Effect 2, he made a joke about the Collectors' leader freeing himself from the Reapers' control and preparing to help fighting the Reapers...before the base blows up with him inside. Cue to Mass Effect 3 multiplayer and the Reckoning DLC, which let's you play as Collectors who managed to get free from the Reapers' control.
In "Samaritan Snare," Chuck makes fun of how the doctors seem to be operating on Picard's leg when they're supposed to be fixing his artificial heart, that's not unheard of.
In his analysis of the Prime Directive, he talks about a hypothetical nature documentary ending with the narrator saying, "And so the volcano on the island became active, and the entire species will likely die out... and it can't happen soon enough for me, by god! I wanna run them over with a jeep if I thought I'd get away with it!" Come 2013...
One of Us: In addition to being a reader of TV Tropes, and a major sci-fi buff, he's also a big fan of video RPGs, apparently, due to the large (but not intrusive) number of references to Fallout, Knights of the Old Republic, Mass Effect, and Oblivion that he makes.
When he finally gave a Voyager episode ("Life Line") a 10 out of 10, it was captioned "Alert TV Tropes!"
Shipping: He ships Mulder and Scully. It's played for laughs, but nevertheless, it's still very sexy. "Ah, sometimes the fan fics just write themselves."
He keeps it under his hat a lot more (he's barely mentioned it, despite having reviewed dozens of Voyager episodes), but he also ships Paris and Torres.
So Bad, It's Good: Similarly like Ho Yay above: Not the reviews, but it's sometimes discussed for the shows he analyses.
They Changed It, Now It's Less Funny: A minor example with the Voyager "Threshold" review. In the original video, some of the lines were made funnier because of the delivery ("He's Dying" and "We Are Not Pokemon!" for example). In the updated Blip version, the delivery was different being harsher in tone than before. However, considering how bad "Threshold" is, anyone would be crankier having to deal with it again.
