Shows I'd like to see Chuck review

This forum is for discussing Chuck's videos as they are publicly released. And for bashing Neelix, but that's just repeating what I already said.

"Kill the Moon" wasn't that bad. It was, to my recollection, just tedious, sappy, and ridiculous.

Far worse are episodes which undermine character development, plot lines, or themes in a way that drags down the rest of an arc, season, or series. Like, say, "Hell Bent"*, which turned the last half of the conclusion of a decades-long arc into a sappy and slightly creepy love letter to Clara.

Or, to put it another way- "Kill the Moon" had worse presentation, but "Hell Bent" (and others like it) had worse substance, and were more damaging to the series.

*Second half of "Hell Bent". First half, minus the Clara-in-a-diner interludes, was awesome.

I'd love to see Chuck do a review of Voltron: Legendary Defender.

Hmm...

I've been listening to Good Omens on audiobook, and its got me thinking about Pratchett. If SFDebris ever does another book review (as I recall, he's done Asimov's Foundation and the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, as well as that series on comic book history), then I'd like to see some Pratchett (or Gaiman, for that matter).

Or, heck, just some more Discworld television adaptations covered.

A while back someone mentioned that they had requested the first two episodes of Legend of the Galactic Heroes. Since the series is 110 episodes long, it might make more sense to organize it by the four arcs in the show. I didn't request it, so it is not my place to impose anything, but I wonder if four reviews similar to the Knights of the Old Republic video game review would be better?

Oh, yes. A thousand times, yes. This is such a great series. Sadly, I think it came out just shortly after he announced that he'd be taking on no new series. :(

It really is quote good. But yes, nothing new for the time being, but that's not what this thread is about really.

It doesn't hurt to dream :D

Since I haven't mention it yet at some point I'd like to request Tremors 4.

My list:

VOY: Muse - Torres needs all the character development she can get.
DS9: House of Quark - Quark telling off Klingons and living to tell about it. 'Nuff said.
Mobile Suit Gundam 0079 - The original Gundam.
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing - One of my first anime series, and has some interesting American Revolution parallels. Including the outfits. I'm really curious what Chuck would think about this series.
Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within - It's sci-fi and has enough plot holes that Chuck could use it for guilt-free target practice. He will one day run out of Janeway jokes. Maybe.
