I'll go first. One thing I hope he comments on in "Visionary" would be the soundtrack (it's actually stand-out for once, which is rare in a post-Berman era musical score), especially the scenes with O'Brien in the future, and how they apparently transported the Romulan delegation out with the shields still up.
Anyone else?

Re: Things you are looking forward to SF Debris bringing up in future reviews
I really want to hear his thoughts on several aspects of Into Darkness, from its message/theme to its liberal aping of The Wrath of Khan to its current reputation among fandom. I feel like Chuck's mini-review reflected the immediate reaction by fans with many putting it about on par with Trek '09, but its reputation has seemingly gone downhill quite a bit since then.
The owls are not what they seem.

Ep 8 of Gurren Lagann.
Re: Things you are looking forward to SF Debris bringing up in future reviews
I'm waiting for him to get around to the TOS episode "By Any Other Name". I want to see if he comments on the fact that, according to the aliens of the episode, Kirk, Spock, Bones, and Scotty really are the only crew the Enterprise needs, and everyone else can just be gotten rid of. We've all thought it, but here the show comes right out and says it.
Plus, the plan to vanquish the aliens is for Kirk to seduce one and Scotty to drink another under the table. Gotta be a joke or two there.

Dragon Age 2, Dragon Age: Inquisition (personal favorite game in the BioWare canon BTW), more The Old Republic, KotOR 2, (if someone requested it) the rest of the original Trilogy, The Clone Wars and maybe The Thrawn Trilogy. The Legend of Korra specifically Books 3 and 4 for his analysis of Korra and Asami's relationship and, you know, more of him insulting Mako of which I will never grow tired of, (I'm REALLY looking forward to Night of a Thousand Stars for Mako's single dumbest moment). And finally more Escaflowne.
I would also like to see him review RWBY as it is a great show worthy of Chuck's attention.

Hope has a long discussion about the different culture of India when he reviews something from the region.
Re: Things you are looking forward to SF Debris bringing up in future reviews
Given his commentary on My Little Pony and his general political attitude etc. I like imagining how he would react to Starlight Glimmer, who in her introductory episode where she has set up a village that has pursued equality at the expense of individuality and freedom (she reforms later). I sort of suspect he would have some pointed snark about it. Something about having a children's cartoon where the villain has an ideology that heavily parallels Marxism seems like it would be good fodder for Chuck (then again maybe he would think it is a bit too on the nose). Since he only very occasionally does MLP I am not really expecting him to get to...

Re: Things you are looking forward to SF Debris bringing up in future reviews
I keep hoping he gets to Homeward relatively soon just because I want to see him go into all of the stupid easy ways they could have resolved the conflict of the week instead of the, "Go roleplay on the Holodeck," route (like, say, doing that for ten seconds then gassing them until they found a suitable planet) and to bring up the stupidity of trying to paint, "Maybe saving this civilization wasn't worth the tradeoff," by comparing it to one guy killing himself for contrived reasons. And then there's the question of why they didn't lock or monitor the door to the Holodeck in the first place. There's a lot you can rip apart in that episode is my point.

OH YES Homeward is one I'm looking forward to as well! I'm sure he'll trash the ol' PD there just as much as he did in other reviews!
