[http://sfdebris.com/ SF Debris], once known as Sci-Fi Debris, is a website run by Chuck Sonnenburg, a long-time member of various ''[[Star Trek]]'' and ''[[Star Wars]]'' online fan communities as well as a big fan of ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]''. What he and the website are mostly known for these days are his "Opinionated [[Star Trek]] Episode Guides", [[Snark Bait|snarky]] reviews of the ''[[Star Trek]]'' franchise.
 
Since 2008, he's taken his reviews onto a video format on [http://www.youtube.com/user/sfdebris YouTube] and [https://web.archive.org/web/20101214081336/http://sfdebris.blip.tv/ Blip.tv]{{Dead link}}, growing in popularity. His style, a mixture of serious analysis peppered with deadpan humour played over clips from the show, has begun to catch on with other reviewers (including [[Atop the Fourth Wall|Linkara]], who borrowed one of his ideas). His site also features a few essays (including a history of how [[Spider-Man]] has [[Dork Age|declined in quality]]) and his (two trilogy, 250 chapter) crossover [[Fan Fiction]], [[The Unity Saga]].
 
Often compared (and paired) with [[Confused Matthew]]. Rather than having his own forum, CM has been kind enough to give him a dedicated sub-forum; particularly useful as the two have a similar fanbase anyway.
 
On May 12, 2011, ''all'' of his ''Star Trek'' reviews were removed from [http://www.youtube.com/user/sfdebris Youtube], as a pre-emptive measure when [[CBS]] (which has been cracking down severely on other ''Star Trek'' fan channels as well) filed a claim against his "Trials and Tribble-ations" review. As the [[BBC]] has already done the same with his ''[[Red Dwarf]]'' reviews, under the Youtube "three strikes" policy, he now has only one strike remaining. As with ''Red Dwarf'' and other non-''Trek'' reviews, they will now be uploaded exclusively to his [https://web.archive.org/web/20101214081336/http://sfdebris.blip.tv/ blip.tv]{{Dead link}} account, though he will continue to use his Youtube for trailers.

Line 869:
* [[Training from Hell]]: Notes that Tuvok's attempts to put the Maquis through their paces in "Learning Curve" makes him come off as a massive jerkass, especially when he makes them run a 10 kilometre lap, with full packs and the gravity turned up 10%.
{{quote|'''Tuvok''': A particularly nice sign of dickishness from a man who has over ''[[Made of Iron|three times the strength]]'' of the people he's leading.}}
* [[Translation Train Wreck]]: In his review of the episode "[https://web.archive.org/web/20110106172735/http://sfdebris.blip.tv/file/4574217/ Tinker, Tenor, Doctor, Spy]{{Dead link}}" he translates the lyrics of "La donna è mobile" using the Babylon 8 translation software resulting in this trope. Apperantly the song is about furniture.
* [[Trash the Set]]: In his review of the "Eleventh Hour", he notes that due to the Tenth Doctor's violent regeneration, Eleven can't use the still-rebuilding TARDIS, but at least he still has his ever-faithful sonic screwdriver, right? Cue it promptly exploding.
{{quote|'''Sfdebris''': Man, when Ten breaks shit, he really ''breaks shit'', doesn't he?}}
