    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Surprisingly, Bryan Cranston did most of the skating in this episode. In an interview with IFC Cranston says, "I did most of it. There were just two parts I didn't do, which is when I left my feet. There was a cartwheel and a handstand, which I did not do, but everything else I did. It was fun we had a week and a half to learn the routine and start skating. It's fantastic what you can do with practice."
    • Goofs
      When Reese and Malcolm are talking in the bedroom, Reese is playing a game boy which, when the camera cuts to him playing it, clearly has no game inserted.
    • Quotes

      Stevie Kenarbin: [after playing Hockey] Good... Game?

      Malcolm: [clearly out of breath] This... Sucks.

      Stevie Kenarbin: You... mocking me?

      Malcolm: No... tired.

      Stevie Kenarbin: Get... Skates.

    Champion episode of season one!!! Cranston is remarkable!!
    This was without a doubt the BEST episode of season one. They've all been good, and there were a handful of greats, but this one clearly stands out. Bryan Cranston once again shows how remarkable and versatile an actor he is. His dancing scenes shock you and amuse you at the same time. And according to him, he did most of the moves. Also, the exchange between Malcom and Stevie in the beginning when Stevie thought Malcolm was mocking him was pure genius. Rated this a 9!! More like a 9.5!!!
