Hi! Hope you enjoyed your break! I was wondering if you could elaborate on any opinions you have about the various individual character arcs in Encanto.

Star Wars The Clone Wars: Question 1: The Onderon arc introduces us to Steela Gerrera and her big brother, Saw, both of whom became quite popular with the fans. How would you summarize your opinions on the Gerrera siblings, and do you have any further thoughts or comments on how Steela’s death is as heartbreaking as it is given that she is introduced and killed all within the same arc, and yet, still, her death packs an emotional wallop? Question 2: As you stated in the reactions, the Onderon arc again showcases when a planet gets caught in the middle of the war between the Republic and the Separatists, and the damage that is done to said planets that get caught in the crosshairs. Overall, it seems safe to say that those types of plotlines are ones you particularly enjoy. How would you summarize your opinions on these types of plotlines, and how well of a job do you feel the show did with such a plotline with the Onderon arc, specifically? Question 3: The youngling arc makes me curious in that say you could build a lightsaber for yourself, what type of lightsaber do you think you would construct for yourself? Question 4: As you’ve come to discover, Hondo is one of the more neutral characters of the galaxy whose allegiance can swing back and forth depending on the question of profit. This of course makes him one of the more entertaining characters of the show, and Jim Cummings has stated that it’s one of the primary reasons as to why Hondo is one of his favorite characters to voice. At this point, how would you summarize your thoughts on Hondo, particularly pertaining to his rather flexible nature, morality-wise? Ms. Marvel: Question 1: For the most part, this show feels like it’s aimed at a slightly younger audience than past Marvel properties, particularly it feels like a key demographic is say middle-school girls. Not that that’s at all a bad thing, merely my observation. Would you say you’ve felt a similar way, or no? Question 2: Throughout the show, you expressed your appreciation for the mom’s arc and ultimately, your mild dissatisfaction at the resolution. Say you were writing the show, how would you have had the storyline with the mom be resolved? Supernatural: Question 1: Now that some time has passed, do you have any additional thoughts or comments on the thoroughly outstanding moment when Bobby vents to Dean and Sam? Question 2: Do you think Bobby was ever able to have enough time of peace and quiet to be able to enjoy the peach cobbler? Star Trek: Question 1: We’ve had a few episodes where Spock takes command of the Enterprise and/or steps in the role due to Kirk’s absence, and it always takes a back seat to the main plot of any episode. Would you like to see a more prominent plotline of Spock in the captain’s chair, and just in general, given what we’ve seen, how would you compare and contrast Spock’s style of command versus Kirk’s? Question 2: Upon further reflection, would you say that you prefer the look of Spock rocking the beanie, Spock looking mighty sharp in that damn fine pinstripe suit that he sported, or are both looks about equal? Encanto: Question 1: Supposing you were part of the family Madrigal, or a family like it where one receives magical gifts, what gift do you imagine you would receive? Question 2: This could very well just be me. I was the tiniest bit disappointed in the ending of the film in that the family gets the magic back. I thought it would have been better if the family stayed without the magic and thus have to learn how to live without the power, and by extension, since Mirabel never had any powers to begin with, she could help the other members of the family learn how to live without the magic. Again, very possible that’s just me, hence my question to you. Say for sake of argument the film went with such an ending, how would you have felt about it, and would it have affected your enjoyment of the overall film? Question 3: So, in the end the abuela is forgiven by Mirabel. I’m left to wonder if the abuela was able to forgive herself. It’s my recurring thought with forgiveness in that receiving the forgiveness of others. The hard part is the question of can you forgive yourself, which is my question to you. Do you feel the abuela was able to forgive herself, or no? Cinderella: Question 1: Any further thoughts or opinions on the costumes, more specifically Lady Tremaine’s marvelous wardrobe? Question 2: A highlight of the film was the providing of more of a backstory for Lady Tremaine. Upon reflection, how would you sum up your opinion of Lady Tremaine’s backstory, both the backstory itself and how it adds to her character? The Jungle Book: Question 1: Now that some time has passed, what’s your opinion on how well you handled the scene with Kaa? Related to that, I take it that it’s safe to presume that since Kaa never reappeared in the film, you’re choosing to go with the idea that Baloo killed Kaa and that we will not see Kaa in the Jungle Book sequel? Question 2: You mentioned you thought Bagheera was voiced by someone other than Ben Kingsley, and I don’t recall if you said who you initially thought was the voice. Who did you think was the voice of Bagheera? Question 3: Two-part question on the ending. One, how would you summarize your opinion on the ending being Mowgli staying in the jungle rather than going to the man village like in the original film? Second, a thought I have is that they could incorporate the plotline of Mowgli being more curious about the man village in the sequel. Do you feel that’s likely, or do you feel that they will go with a different plotline for the sequel? Hamilton: In your post-episode thoughts, you expressed that you greatly enjoyed the presentation of ambition, which as a fellow Slytherin, I wholeheartedly agree. I’m curious do you have any further thoughts on the subject, more specifically like how you originally noted that the ambition is presented in the different ways with Hamilton being more overtly passionate as opposed to Burr being far more cautious and calculating?

You've probably already recorded this by now, but just in case I'm in time... I know you're a fan of the relationship between the Doctor and the Brigadier, so I wondered what you thought of the Third Doctor finally calling him "Alistair" in Planet of the Spiders, and then the Fourth Doctor also doing so in Robot...?
