Most inspirational SF Debris moment?

Feeling a bit depressed after getting into a gun-related discussion in another thread, and still feeling bad about creating what was perceived as so many negative topics, so here's another hopefully positive one, sure to generative lots of positive conversations: Basically, most inspirational SF Debris moment? Whole episodes don't count, I'm talking the moment. For me, though, since it's not part of the "Far Beyond the Stars" review, I'd say the "Judgment Day" extra, but in particular, when he goes into background about his own family's life and how it relates to the video, well, I feel as if some kind of inspirational music should have been playing, because it really gets to me every time. Reminds me that whenever SF Debris says he's as much an optimist as the next guy, he means it. And you know what?

At times, it can rub off on ya. :D

What about you? What do you guys think was the most inspirational moment?

I am sorry you are depressed Yuka.

However I think to answer you here I also have to disagree with you. Asking me what is the most inspirational moment is like asking what is the most awesome thing you know of about Mr. Rogers.


This might seem off topic, but. Goes to congress for funding for PBS and sings a song for them that gets a 'tough guy' to shed a tear and grant the funding. Is told by his church to condemn homosexuals, so he turns and says. "God loves you just the way you are." To putting the initial VCR debate to bed by saying it allows children to watch his show when they are able. Or Burger King putting out an add satirizing him. And when he quietly mentions he does not like that? They pull the ad out of respect.

Now pick just One of those.

My moments with SF Debris and Chuck? I was referred to SFDebris from a forum post for Star Trek Online. I watched the review on Insurrection, then wrote Chuck. And he wrote me back. He did his series on the comic book industry. And I wrote him to praise him because I was eagerly coming back for essentially a lecture series. And I wished he was a teacher when I was in school. (Turns out I might be a hair older than him.) And he wrote me back. That might seem small. But with all the mail that comes his way. The work he does on his videos. His time with his family. And he wrote me back several times. And when I went to join these forums. He helped me get in here. Not passed me off to someone. He looked into it. He has done videos to make me cry, to make me laugh. And videos to make me glad to be a veteran.

So I can't pick one moment. I am glad SFDebris and its creator simply Is.

I'm not sure, specifically. I'm always touched by the story he tells in 'Real Life', of how his twins were premature and could have died. And it makes me think of the other issues that have been mentioned over the years. The issues with his wife, issues with his house, his love of children from how he was a teacher, his experiences with people with mental illness. And just, I think about all he's been through and has to deal with and how hard he works to put out these great videos I love listening to over and over. And I guess that, in a way, is inspiring.
