At the end of this tutorial, the instructor mentions he’ll show us how to connect the FK controllers to the rest of the rig, but he never does.  I imagine that the chest FK goes to the arms and pelvis IK to the legs, but I’m not sure how one should go about doing that.  Is there a follow up somewhere?

Okay, I created a parent / child relationship between the spine joints and the leg and arm joints (as is usually done) and all seems well.  For some reason, I remember the instructor mentioning that one should never interrupt the flow of joints with other joint chains, but going over the videos again, I can’t find the comment, so maybe I just imagined it.

Also, I thought using a spline IK chain might require a special constraint to connect the legs and arms to the main spine, but it appears to work just fine without them, so I assume all is well…
