“Malcolm’s Lost Middle” is another masterpiece from Paolo. It is clever, witty, and captures the TV characters perfectly. I have long envied Paolo’s ability to create conversations that sound like real people - though in this case artificial people. He has perfect pitch for the way they speak. The story is written in such a way that it would make a perfect half-hour screenplay and could be the season finale in an alternative reality. Great job! This is fan fiction at its very best.

If this is what a bit of Zima does to stimulate Paolo’s muse, maybe the readers of the Archive ought to pitch in to have it piped directly into his kitchen.

A nice drink and a bit of help from me, and a great story teller like our Paolo can pump out a GREAT story. I am glad I can up with this idea and helped and pushed him to write this story.

I am so glad everyone loved this story. It makes me so proud I was able to help put this one into Paolo's mind.
