Dale would fall hard for the drain the swamp rhetoric. Hank would love Trump because Buck Strickland is literally just Trump, and they're both effete New Yorkers who care more about appearances then performance. Peggy would go full Maga, construye el burro Bobby and Bill would join the Proud Boys, then realize what it is after an in person meetings and back away real slowly.

Peggy got part time work doing some book keeping for a company the government contacted to build a border fence. Through an extremely elaborate misunderstanding about her security clearance, and mistaking Dale's blog for a top secret government website Peggy turns out to be the author of the original Q post.

Hank becomes a popular DYI youtuber. He loses his channel after he accidentally lets 3 seconds of Willy Nelson play on a video. Peggy is exactly the kind of person that Qanon suckers in as been said, it appeals to her desire to be seen as smarter than everyone else. She does not go to Jan 6th because Hank stops her, but Buck does and Buck is arrested and given prison time for peeing on a memorial for Teddy Kennedy. Hank is given control of Strickland Propane but won't promote himself above Assistant Manager. Remember hank might respect and admire Buck for giving him a chance and his forever job, but he also hates Buck for his vices.

Do we know anything about the timeline for the reboot? Is everyone is the same age? It's interesting because a 45 year old father in 1997 is going to be different from one in 2020 and ignoring the Trump stuff I wonder how Hank will be characterized differently.

I think they'd have to age them up accordingly. At least I'd hope they would.

"Obsession" seems like a pretty overwrought way of putting it, people are just joking around. Yeah, personally, I just think enough time has passed to view these funny and interesting characters in a whole new modern context. I can imagine some fertile comedic material being mined from digging around in that. I'm always on board for more funny wherever it comes from. Hell, several goons in this thread have even posted some scripts that made me laugh out loud and read perfectly in the characters' voices.

I just like most of what Mike Judge puts out and can see real potential in aging these characters up in a modern context. Judge has always been pretty good at finding ways to take the piss out of and lampoon people regardless of their political leanings. I can picture old Hank, Dale, Bill, Boomhauer, Kahn and John Redcorn dealing with a whole set of issues alongside young adults like Bobby, Kahn Jr and Joseph. Lord knows our current political and social situations have changed a lot and aren't anymore stable, especially in loving Texas. I also wanna see GH as a young teenager. He's a blank slate and could have turned into pretty much anything, especially with his dad being dead, and the writers could look at nature over nurture to see what he grew into. Does he turn out like Cotten, Bobby, Hank or his mom? I dunno, I've heard far worse ideas for a reboot. We're not talking Saved By The Bell: The College Years levels of writing here I wouldn't think. I doubt Judge would look at it seriously if he didn't have some good ideas, and even though I thought it was a mistake not to age up Beavis and Butthead even that was pretty funny.

In this episode, Hank tries to get the citizens of Rainey Street to update their disaster plan with more safety margins for severe events. Dale is convinced that the updated safety measures should include a 24/7 night watchmen and volunteers himself to take the first 5 consecutive shifts. Peggy sells a home as "moat ready"

Hank has to fix boats after they sink at the Boat Parade. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/trump-boat-parades-left-untold-destruction-in-their-wake/ar-AALKQBD Or maybe Hank gets angry and takes over steering away from Bill to avoid a disaster? Something like that, this part of the episode more-or-less writes itself. Peggy gets separated and has a Caitlyn Jenner moment when she confuses a bunch of glamorous trans women as rich pro-Trump socialites and they assume she is trans as well. Peggy doesn't do a good job shifting her opinions but she is nakedly trying to fit in veering wildly from pro-Trump to anti-Trump statements with supreme confidence that fools no one, other than Peggy herself. Edit: There is an Enby in the group that she keeps calling "Emily". OnlyBans fucked around with this message at 23:38 on Sep 21, 2021 |
