Obviously my favorite part is at the end of Part 2: “ROOOODDDRIIIIGUESSSSSS!” The Skepchick Party gets a shout-out in Part 3 and it is hilarious!

I couldn’t take much of the guy in the silver paint. That stuff is not necessary. I watched 2 parts.
Good stuff!
My favourite part? The footage from Flight of the navigator! :-D
I didn’t care for MST3K segment, and it is a bit late to review TAM 7. I thought it really picked up when he went after Darren Brown’s lottery prediction. That’s always been the strength of his videos.
Loved it. The skeptical movement needs more whimsy — we have a reputation of being cranky, hyper-critical academics and Captain D is very approachable for anyone new to skepticism.
Yes, the videos take a long time to produce, but it’s more of an ad for TAM than a review. Registration for TAM starts up next month, so I think it’s well-timed.
That was fun all around! I even made Mrs N47W122 watch most of it. I’d say that the MSTying itself wasn’t the best part, although the theme song was great.
ok, the bit with shermer and the muppets made me laugh :)
I have to call him out on one thing,.. he puts in part 4 about magicians and Darren Brown being honest. But he uses very clever editing to be snarky in part 3. Also, his spin was dishonest, if way funnier the way he cut it. Jonathan, who was an intern at JREF, was excellent in the talent show. Also, so were many of the other acts. Holding people up to ridicule “hey look at this guy he’s BORING” and yet skipping the cute girl that really was BORING (she gets a pass, which he should have done for his take on this event). After all how “boring” can an event be with a Randi drinking game? Clever editing can make for a fun video, but is it an honest video? And some people call skepchicks snarky! HA!
also a lot of people are asking “wait is that dr.steve using drugs?” “was there reallycoke?”
No people! get a life! It’s not fact, it’s kinda fiction (in parts)
I love Captain D, I like his humor, his style, and his superhero persona. It’a all win for me.
I was so happy that he had new videos (5!!!!!) up. I was afraid he had gotten bored and stopped. I thought it was really good and it is nice to see skeptics having fun.
Oh, who is Jonathan? Is he the guy doing the kata?
@Gabrielbrawley:
No – I believe Jonathan was judging the talent contest, along with Captain D. IIRC, he was the guy featured in the “Little Jerry” video that was played.
I thought that Captain Disillusion’s slamming of the talent show people was pretty dickish. Sure, it wasn’t high-dollar entertainment, but it was all in goofy TAM fun.
@Gabrielbrawley: No the guy doing the Kata looked like Matt Fiore.
I was just happy to see myslef in two of the TAM clips but nothing of me at the party :(
I can’t wait for TAM8.
(hey that rhymed)
I was the cause of that horrible horrible silence. Sorry about that.
