Date: 2009-12-07 05:01 pm (UTC)I think you're right, for both Malcolm and the show as a whole. Much as I've adored this series and would be stoked if a fourth were announced, I also want very much for the show to go out at the top of its game. TToI jumping the shark would be a fucking tragedy.
All that said, I also want Malcolm to continue being awesome in some capacity forever, because he is MALCOLM and I have come to cherish this particular status quo. Plus, you know, he's Malcolm. Giving up is not part of his programming.
Comparing him to Ten has made me want a crossover where they have to work together on something, because you know they'd hate each other. :D
Yes! I really adore that Nicola isn't any worse than the male characters, and she also isn't any better. She'll give Malcolm's shit right back to him, but then she'll turn around and do whatever morally questionable thing he's telling her to do, as if having expressed her objection makes it okay. She'll feel genuinely awful over being a bad mother, but she won't take immediate steps to fix what she's done to her daughter. The writing for her is really well-balanced and enjoyable and I'm sorry I ever doubted Iannucci's ability to create a good female character.
