Hey Jackson, really looking forward to the Jon Stewart video. As someone who grew up with him and Colbert i'm sure it's going to be very fascinating. Here are my questions. 1. Will the Stewart video touch upon the evolution of the digital media landscape and how that has impacted the ways in which the public consumes political commentary/comedy? When Stewart was starting out on comedy central it was still common for people to buy cable subscriptions but that obviously isn't the case anymore. Additionally with the rise of social media platforms and the increasing popularity of video essays, now anybody with time and a camera can make political comedy/commentary pieces like Stewart did and arguably can reach a wider audience. I think that's partially why out of all the people who stewart mentored/inspired, John Oliver has managed to remain one of the most popular. Because because while his show airs on HBO his material still gets published to youtube where you can view it for free. Personally I think this generations John Stewart equivalents are people like Hbomberguy and Thought Slime. 2. Since we just passed Halloween and are now entering the Christmas/Thanksgiving season, do you have any favorite holiday themed episodes of TV? 3. (Sorry, one more. This just occured to me as I was looking at my DVD shelf and I wanted to ask this now in case I forget.) Would you ever consider discussing copaganda in sci-fi shows like Star Trek or Stargate SG1? I find those shows fascinating for the way they explore the military. Star Trek in particular often tries to portray starfleet as a sort of "benevolent" military and there have been conflicts about how the organization should be portrayed behind the scenes. Additionally some Star Trek shows, especially DS9 have tried to deconstruct the military roots of the series in really cool ways. You did "spooky cops," why not "Space cops?"

Have you seen in the dark on Netflix? And if so what do you think about how it's a difficult man show where the difficult man is a blind woman?

I noticed you are a fan of the Legend of Korra, and that series seems to have a bad reputation as a inferior sequel to ATLA, do you think it deserves the amount of hate it gets online? Do you think a large majority of the hate, has to do with the main character becoming a bisexual, because, let's face it, homophobia is the internet's lifeblood.

Could you do an essay on Steven Universe's Liberal Appeasement civility? I would do it, but I'm too lazy.... though I did wrote a half written essay on the show, trying to be a Breadtuber, but I'm sure you would do a better job

How do you feel about the “reveal” about the ending of The Sopranos?

Skip Intro

I put my earmuffs on, I don't know what David Chase said at all and I'm going to keep it that way!

The Bog Queen

The headlines made more of it than it was, it’s not anything new. And it bothers me that people act like confirmation is needed, because I feel like the point is the ambiguity. I feel like the show was about the living death that occurs when you refuse to change, refuse to grow. I always read the ending as not really mattering, because death is inevitable, and he’s kind of dead inside already.

Thomas Flight

It looks like he didn't actually confirm, the article just tried to spin in that way. MZS followed up with Chase: who denied a confirmation!

I'd recommend Princess Weekes' (channel name Melina Pendulum) video "Empire and Imperialism in Children's Cartoons—a super light topic". It's so fucking good, it matches Jackson at his best. She looks at four different cartoons and how they handle the subject of empire (Avatar: The Last Airbender, She-Ra, Steven Universe, and Star vs the Forces of Evil). She had an excellent insight. That in She-Ra and in Steven Universe, empire is being used as metaphor for toxic or abusive family dynamics, rather than a direct representation as in ATLA. She blew my mind, and it's rare that I say that.
