I just finished the 3rd episode and I was in tears near the end when
. I just couldn't stop fucking laughing, I don't know why.
So far I like it but the focus on 1 character per episode kind of brings it down for me. I find characters like George Sr. or Lindsay to be much better suited in short bursts. But I'll probably have tons of fun watching the full episodes of Gob and Tobias.
Also it feels like a lot of the jokes/scenes so far have gone way over my head or I have to wait until the rest of the episodes for things to start clicking. Either that or it's just not quite as good/interesting as the original show. But I'm so glad it's back, will finish the rest tomorrow.
Also is there any word on commentary tracks being added later or any other special features like a making-of documentary? I LOVED the commentary from the cast on some of the original episodes, I was hoping they would include some here too but if not oh well.
the guy tells Lindsay about the lady he scared taking a shit

Anyone notice the Facebook chat notification sound randomly inserted into a couple episodes? One is really obvious in the first episode in one of the scene's when Michael's in the model home, but I distinctly remember hearing at least one more. Freaked me out and made me check all my browser windows to make sure I didn't have Facebook open somewhere.
I can only assume those were accidental, since there was absolutely no logical reason for those to be where they were.

Whoa, wait, that wasn't just me? I was so confused.

Nothing is accidental. I'm only on episode 10 but I'm expecting an answer.
Or I just missed a joke.
The George Michael episodes should explain the Facebook joke.
Fake Block is the anti-facebook and Michael Cera looks like Jesse Eisenberg from the social network playing Mark Zuckerberg who invented FB.
I do not recall these sounds.
Just noticed it during the tumbleweed scene... But they don't have internet there right?
I dunno, I finished the season and there was never even the slightest hint to make me think it was intentional. I have the feeling someone just had Facebook open while they were rendering the episodes :lol
Except these sound effects occur in scenes with no conceivable reason for a Facebook sound effect to happen. Unless it's supposed to be the most meta joke imaginable meant to make people watching this on their computers think someone's trying to contact them on Facebook, but that seems like a bit too much if a stretch, even for AD.

Yeah wtf, I'm only on episode 8, hopefully there will be some type of explantation.
That wouldn't do it, though.
The only thing I can think of is if they used a program like Audio Hijack to rip audio from something and that happened during a record. Not sure what they would be recording though...unless it's an incredibly meta joke about their showstealing software.
I've had that happen to me with other sounds and I don't catch it until the preview is out to a client.
But again, I haven't noticed it yet.

Just got done blasting through the season. Found it really disappointing at first, since the soul of the show was watching the whole family interact with one another, but as I grew accustomed to the new format and as things started to tie into each other I found myself loving AD once again.
Fuck that cliffhanger though.

I've watched the whole season and that still doesn't explain the seemingly random facebook notification rings unless those were cues and I just wasn't paying close enough attention.
I just explained it above. (sorta)

There is some seemingly useless greenscreen. They green screened Lucille singing for the musical. She's not even with other actors...

Yeah, I plan on watching these all again without having to keep up.

I must be missing something. Because I liked episode one but that's about it so far. I'm only on 4 though. But I hate the format.
Read the OP asshole. Spoilers are allowed.
You're missing about 11 episodes.

My least favorite things about the new season:
Not enough Annyong - Seriously he was in one episode for 5 seconds. Shame. Would have liked to see him pop up in every characters story from different POV's each time. Hello? (Also not enough Steve Holt, but I loved what we got)
Some characters had late arrivals - Because of the interesting format, which I liked, there was a drawback being that some characters, like Buster, didn't show up much at all until their own episodes. So some had a lot less screen time than they could have.
No Franklin - COME ON!
Oxigen_waste arguing about the stupidest thing you could argue about ever on the face of the earth ever. :-( Stop wasting oxygen please.
Gonna need a few more viewings. I'm going to watch it a few more times on Netflix and even purchase the DVD/BRD's when they come out. Everything I can to get a 5th season. Don't want a movie yet. I want another season. They can return to the normal format this time. Just give us 15 more episodes next May.
So... how is House of Cards anyway? It has Kevin Spacey in it and that's enough to pique my interest.

Well to be considered the best season ever I shouldn't have to wait until episode 11 to be entertained
Actually...
Agreed on Franklin and Oxigen.
House of Cards is fantastic. Definitely watch it. It's not a 'rip through the series in one night' type of show, though. Slow and deliberate like Mad Men.
BTW, I really liked that AD included act breaks in this.

Just watch it. Seriously. It gets more and more amazing.
I just watched the first 10 minutes of Jurassic Park and was thoroughly bored. Very little dinosaurs. Seemed like a lot of talking. Old guy was annoying, and couldn't stand Newman.
Don't get the hype.
What the fuck kind of reasoning is this?

I think the "coincidence" song is the best new running joke.
Episode 14 spoilers-ish
Anyone else pick up on the misdirection that Buster would going to lose a testicle. From "I keep losing my jewels" re: the diamonds on his hook to the comments on his outfit in episode 14. Plus Lucille's "now nobody will ear your screams!" The naked sewing machine scene made me nervous for this reason. It also would have kind of tied in to George Sr.'s testosterone... storyline... thing. Glad it didn't happen though, that would've been too painful.

Newman's the best part though. But I agree. I didn't see a single dinosaur in that first 10 minutes. Just a lot of exposition.

HoC is pretty great, but I feel like the show loses some steam somewhere in the middle. It picks it back up though later.
I've had that moment a lot over the last few days. It's really an incredible feat.

Have they talked about a disc release and when that would happen? I probably won't get it though. I recently sold a lot of my DVD/blurays as I transition to digital. Just take up too much space and I haven't watched a disc in years. I'll just stream them forever off Netflix.
