Why didn't chuck update it yet?

Because he's tired and used to Choas Mode.

Why didn't he just put that down?

Presumably because he was going to update the schedule when he uploads the next video.

Wait when he say archer does he mean archer as an enterprise episode, a analysis of his character, or about the spy cartoon call archer.

"Character analysis" of Captain Archer.

Thanks.

I honestly have no idea how he is going to talk about Archer. I'm interested, hell yeah, but Archer isn't really a character as much as he is the trope description for The Captain. He is really surface level.

He works quite well as a metaphor for America. Archer in S1 is all swaggering entitlement, whose position was earned by his daddy, and about not letting his blatant ignorance get in the way of doing as he pleases. In S2 he is getting angrier and angrier as it is more and more obvious that the universe is not cooperating with his sense of self entitlement but is unable to admit that even(especially?) to himself; in S3 the universe has had enough of his shit and knocks the anger out of him forcefully; then by S4 he has earned a sense of humility to admit that he doesn't know as much as he once thought and he knows he needs to rely on the others around him to help support in making the best judgements for the benefit of all.

Of course Star Trek is fiction, and (used to be hopeful fiction), so S4 is the aspirational part we in the rest of the world hope America will one day reach.
