really good media criticism 

This video nails so many of my concerns about the canon-obsession, naive pseudo-realism, and literal-mindedness of modern fandom... I had never thought of it before as something that was being influenced by economics or the structure of the Internet.

This is giving me a lot to think about, both in terms of how I critique fandoms... and how I can ruthlessly exploit these cultural weaknesses in promoting Parallax. I can only HOPE to be so lucky as to discuss Kirt and Noa's bathroom habits at a con panel someday. :D
