Christmas 2018 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.

"Clone Wars-He's done a bunch of them, but I can't think of anything particularly notorious."

I would go with pretty much any of the JarJar episodes. Starting with the Bomba Jedi. Where Jar Jar is impersonating a Jedi in order to save Padme. Runner up is the Naboo HazMat/Toxic Waste pair of episodes that is just so horribly horribly cliched. And is so bad, featuring the toxic combination of Jar Jar and Padme as the lead characters.

Season 1 may have had the weaker episodes, but seasons 3 and 4 had a far more irritating cast. Stark, Jool, Noranti and Sikozu were all pretty insufferable in different ways.
Er, something's wrong with your quote. I didn't write that.
Sorry. I quoted someone that quoted you then deleted the wrong part. This board's quote system goes for a weird Russian Doll method of leaving all the names and sub quotes in.

Yeah but that just lends credence to the Jar Jar is a secret sith lord theory.

Honestly for Clone Wars you could just do the movie.

Otherwise, any episode that isn't about clones or is about Ahsoka or Movie characters is pretty fucking retched.

Voyager - Threshold
Enterprise - A Night in Sickbay
The Next Generation - Code of Honor
Deep Space 9 - Profit and Lace
Doctor Who - The Twin Dilemma
Stargate SG-1 - Emancipation
The Original Series - And the Children Shall Lead
The Animated Series - The Infinite Vulcan
Babylon 5 - TKO

Ahsoka's great! Later on. At first she can be a little irritating I suppose but not that bad usually.

Were a night in sickbay and Threshold actually Christmas reviews? IIRC they weren't (Or at least Threshold wasn't). Chuck started the tradition with Code of Honor and sort of pointed to Threshold and A Night in Sickbay as the worst of their respective series (And sort of retroactively included them when he made his retrospective of worst Trek episodes)

EDIT: Yeah, Threshold wasn't a Christmas episode (As he opens A night in Sickbay saying he did Threshold 2 years prior so he wasn't doing Christmas episodes yet. A Night in Sickbay is the first review with Christmas Music at the end too)

Actually, I thought Threshold was a Christmas episode due to a number references like the Grinch early in the review and the whole “Jesus of the Week” thing when Tom comes back to life. Also, I recall Star Trek V: The Final Frontier was originally the Christmas episode between Threshold & A Night in Sickbay.

At some point after youtube banned him, he started redoing a lot of his old reviews. I want to say that his redone Threshold review actually did release on Christmas. If I'm right, he also added a lot more to it, since his Threshold review is over twice as long as most of his single episode reviews. Heck, his review of Threshold is 50% longer than his review of both parts of "Best of Both Worlds."
