What did you think of the first episode of The Regime? I'm not sure what to make of it yet.
Neither am I—I really hope that it comes into its own and doesn't rely as much on the Veep and Succession house blend. Kinda digging Elena and Herbert's Kronk and Yzma thing, though.

so despite thinking Jorg and Veronica are in a marriage of convenience I DO also think Jorg loves his kids and loves being a dad
(and him loving being a dad and loving his kids starts to make him think about what his own dad thought of him and why he can't imagine Peter ever loving him the way he loves Artemis and Apollo - like his own heart)

after a bath, a play with her trainer’s child, and a kiss on the nose, laika was sent up to orbit in sputnik 2.
"Laika was quiet and charming ... I wanted to do something nice for her: She had so little time left to live." -Vladimir Yazdovsky, medical scientist
her satellite transmitted for 7 days on the frequencies 20.005 MHz and 40.010 MHz. enclosed is the recording of Laika’s heartbeat before passing away from overheating.
did she die for her country, for the progress of humanity and space exploration? some say she did. it made no difference to little Laika, floating in the great expanse of space above, peering down through the satellite’s single window, built just for her; the shaggiest, lonesomest, goodest girl in the world.
“Work with animals is a source of suffering to all of us. We treat them like babies who cannot speak. The more time passes, the more I'm sorry about it. We shouldn't have done it ... We did not learn enough from this mission to justify the death of the dog.” -Oleg Gazenko, leading scientist, and Laika’s trainer
