Doesn't it sort of ruin the drama of what Kerrigan forces Zeratul to do when they rip this mission name out and give it to the HotS climax instead as if they couldn't just whip out a thesaurus to come up with an alternative name?

Mengsk, in lore, is an absolutely brilliant tactician and probably one of the most intelligent characters in the Starcraft universe, easily standing at equal with beings who are canonically hundreds or thousands of years old. He's an absolute beast to fight against in any mission where he's the player's enemy, putting up the best defense a Terran AI can do. (pretty sure Duke is your opponent in True Colors.) SC2 Mengsk didn't happen. He never happened. Mengsk never changed from a cold intimidating badass into a deranged Colonel Sanders.

30:00 - If I head to guess, the timer thing is no weirdness but the result of the bottom timer being a realtime match timer, while the top one is a "gameplay timer" (lacking a better name) connected to the game speed. And as you are playing on the "fast" side of the game speed option, I guess this answers the time discrepancy. If correct, playing on the slowest speed should result in the reverse: Countdown has more than 20 minutes left after 10 minutes of real time.

I'll never forget the intro of SC2 Zerglings Only, where you had Stukov describe Zerglings as "They are the ultimate weapon of the final war." I think about that a lot. Also, You needed that beacon from the Helms Deep UMS maps that would just send all your military units into the enemy at once, which was the primitive version of the almighty F2. Even without it, excellent job on this run. While there were a few rough patches caused by your own rules, that's a big part of the charm, and it honestly didn't seem like this was any more taxing on you than marines-only. It shows how the two starting units are at least more equivalent in Brood War. Zealots-only, from what little I saw, uh, let's just say I'm looking forward to that one.

In each of these challenge missions there is generally one moment that sticks with me some time afterwards. SC1 Marines was sending a fleet of barracks to Mengsk's island base prepared for a tough fight to be greeted by a single missile turret. Here it's "is that a half-HP Seige Tank with 2 kills?"

Grant, you missed a mission: In (IIRC) the Brood War Protoss campaign, there's a mission where you get control of a Zerg base as well as your Protos one. You almost certainly could beat that one 'ling only. (Similarly, there's a Protoss mission in the original campaign where you get a Terran base. That one would be a lot harder to beat marines-only, though, since the two bases are far apart and the 'Toss base has units you can't lose.)

3:11 there's a trick. Burrow all the Zerglings. When you double click on a burrowed unit, it will select ONLY burrowed units of that type. So you double click, unburrow, attack move, rinse and repeat, and you can have all your zerglings on the move fast.

That Kel Morian Combine mission is actually one of my favorites. It allows me to play the game in my favorite way. Everything...f@cking...DIES... You kill everyone and everything on that map, and the game just gives you the 10k minerals. Yeah, it takes longer to kill everything than it does to mine. But, come on, are the Zerg really the type to not eat everything in sight?

About the last mission. You can find a safe path to UED, and send a droplord with a drone to sneak into enemy base without noticed Build a hatchery, then a nydus canal, then you can attack UED without efficient counterattack because most UED BCs are at frontline.

In SC1 you if you put any of your units on move command on another friendly unit they wont be able to attack. Could have saved you a lot of resets with Fenix and the other heroes and units that you dont want to attack with.
