Something Chuck did that really impressed you?

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.

He didn't (as far as we know) murder his brother-in-law. That is an incredible show of restraint that I would not be able to muster.

That cannot be true. Chuck has stated previously that he has three things that he does not talk about unless he absolutely has to: religion, politics and the Great Pumpkin. And it is greatly understandable as to why.
Unless that has changed, I cannot remotely see him talking about ''finding Jesus.'' If this is meant to be a joke, I call Poe's Law on you.

Well nonetheless it would be pretty impressive if he did.

I just keep thinking of the old joke:

"I found Jesus in prison."
"Really, what was he in for?"

To return to the theme of the thread, one thing that stood out for me was his review of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy books, specifically the reviews of So Long and Thanks for All the Fish, and Mostly Harmless. I had read both long ago and did not like them much. I am not sure if I will ever reread them but Chuck's attempts to highlight the strengths was pretty persuasive and made me think about them in a more positive light then I ever had before...

Now that you mentioned it, the parallels between Christianity and George Lucas' religious myth influence on the Star Wars universe are actually quite intricate.

Blessed are the mandlaorians for they shall inherit coruscant.
The past tempts us, the present confuses us, the future frightens us. And our lives slip away moment by moment lost in that vast, terrible in-between.
