The only thing I can think of is it forces people to stay subscribed longer in order to see the whole thing (though going weekly would likely serve the same purpose so I'm not sure.)
Zoe: We're getting him back. Jayne: What are we gonna do, clone him?

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Is it weird that the thing most tempting me to resubscribe to Hulu is the Malcolm in the Middle thing? Feels weird.

It looks fun! It's getting good reviews.

"Somewhere in this building is our talent." Toby Ziegler, my spirit animal
It sounds pretty cute, but I have a lot of things I'm watching. I'll probably get to it. much closer to a good time than "The Testaments" although at least, if I remember the book correctly, the women of Gilead do get to win that round. So that's something.

cheerios: The "Malcolm" story that is blowing my mind the most right now isn't even on the show-- it's that "Dewey" loves college at Harvard so much that despite being offered money, attention, and a congenial cast that's fond of him, he'd rather do that.(I *hoped* that's what college would feel like, but there is not enough "So not," in the Four Corners area to cover the gap between my wishes and what I got.)And at least, I didn't build a career or anything(Someday I hope to close that particular "bitter" tag, but...) Not to sound anti-intellectual or too process-oriented or anything, but everything he passed up there is most of what I went to college to have, even as I respect his dedication to a discipline(Possibly English lit) and not chasing shiny objects and so forth.

Aw, good for him. I did see there was that casting change but I had no idea what was behind it.

I don’t have Amazon or watch The Boys, but from what I’m reading, Kripke ought to be buying more lottery tickets or something.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
Elisabeth Shue's unexpected guest appearance in episode 3 both filled me with delight and ratcheted the OMGWTFBBQ? factor up to 11. The latter is not an easy task considering the normal vibe of this show.

Somebody probably talked about this once, but the Danny Strong that worked on "Dopesick"(Adapting it, I should say) was once the actor who played Jonathan on Buffy, right? I mean, I thought there could be two.

One and the same. The dude has won more Emmy awards for writing than Joss has, plus a whole bunch of WGA awards.
