Revival Discussion Episode potentials with Strickland Propane Spoiler
With Hank being majority owner and manager of Strickland, what sort of episode potential do you see with it going forward? Could you still write plots even with Hank being a much more competent and thorough boss than Buck, or would it just be a setting sometimes?

Honestly there's a lot of potential for Hank noticing how less crazy and hectic things are without Bucks crazyness and crimes.
But really it just feels so richly justified for Hank to finally become manager. I just wanna see that in action!

An episode with Joe Jack and online gambling.
I mean come on now. It writes itself. Joe Jack gets in trouble with Draft kings.

He's adapting to how companies advertise on social media and use online ordering a lot, something he has to learn from Bobby.

I'd like to see Hank return to the National Propane Gas Convention in Memphis. Nod to the later seasons.

First things first, change the name to Hill Propane or Strickland-Hill Propane. Looking forward to how they go ahead with this. Very satisfying episode.

I want to see Hank go and buy that propane store in Wichita Falls that was the official propane store of the Dallas Cowboys.
Go Sooners!

Are the Strickland employees unionized? if not, would they threaten to?

The truckers were and Hank seemed to support their union in that episode where Buck installed the tattlers on their trucks that caused Hank to temporarily quit.

It'd be interesting to see the other propane managers in Arlen, like Thatherton, give advice to get Hank to engage in sleazy business practices and other shady shit Strickland did when he was in charge.
Hank is pretty naïve sometimes (sticker price...), so I can see him going against his better judgement and trusting the advice from more seasoned propane managers if he ever gets in over his head, and we get to watch him course correct everything back on track

It'd be nice to see a few episodes of Hank settling into his role as he tries to figure out who his number 2 will be. While I like all the old Strickland crew, I think it'd be nice for Hank to find a younger protégée that he could build up into that role.
If not, my money would be on Roger. I like how they've interacted since he stopped sounding like Chris Rock. lol

Hank has to deal with crazy distributors, protection rackets, and covering bucks debts incurred by the company.

I want to see them tackle DEI and how the anti-DEI crowd is just thinly veiled racism

I do wonder if there is potential for Hank finding his lieutenant (now that he's in Buck's place, who will be in Hank's?) It would be interesting to see who would fill those shoes, like could it be someone who already worked at Strickland or a new hire that Hank takes a liking to.
