I really appreciate that series, but my one criticism is that it does not connect concepts to how they are used. Maybe it's just me, but I get a much stronger intuition if I imagine what's happening when I apply the concepts, and I think it's just low hanging fruit for him to enshrine that series as possibly one of the best resources out there if he took a few minutes here and there to walk through details of application.

Yes, you're right, if we take this course as standalone. When used alongside a more "traditional" course with applications, it's how it becomes very interesting. You can easily feel guilty as a student when watching this, thinking you should focus on what's been specifically taught to you (during you 'official' lectures), and not on the conceptual ideas behind it. But it does make learning easier, and maybe encourages you to come back to the subject later, because you don't only see the subject as a tool anymore, and get a feeling a familiarity.
