VOY: Someone To Watch Over Me

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.

It's really not meant to be a larger commentary on anything, it's meant more as another manifestation of my own deep-seated insecurities. I'm always happy to do a joke aimed at that. The Plinkett thing when I did that guest performance for Atop the Fourth Wall was my idea, and I'm glad Lewis liked it enough to include in the show. I strangely feel better taking a swing at that, as if it's not so bad if I can laugh at it. I mean, going nearly two decades and never showing your face is not the sign of someone filled with self-confidence. :)

I did't like the bit and like I said, I think it's gotten old. That being said, I'm here commenting on your work and thoroughly enjoy nearly all of it. My comment was never meant to be a dig at your confidence or meant to be hurtful. Please don't take it as such. I apologize if I came across as mean-spirited. Don't let one comment from some internet rando undermine all the good work you've done. :)

lol'd at 30,000 gigaquads of porn manifesting itself into Quagmire.

Guessed the score of the episode right. That's a real fun game for me.

Wait, so you're not actually Peter Capaldi, doing an American accent?

What episode was that? One of the anniversary specials?

He is in fact... Kevin Bacon

I mean, to me, some white people look the same, generic, not just ethnic minorities. I felt that when I first saw Enterprise. What does that say about me?

Kinda depends on how much the sentiment encapsulates the culture rather than being a discrete semblance within it.

And the point is?

I also read his reply. His reply makes it seem much more reasonable. However, I did go back and watch the clip again and I didn't get the sense it was a commentary on overly sensitive white people or virtue signaling.
Everyone else but you realised what he was getting at.
