I loved both of his episodes and easily felt they were the best.

Nose how to spell and rede to
... so it's actually CHER. I was SO hoping for Cher to appear and have some interaction with Tobias
hopefully next time... so it's actually CHER. I was SO hoping for Cher to appear and have some interaction with Tobias
Not sure why there was a question mark, though.
But at least it wasn't just them being like "OH THIS WILL BE FUNNY THE CHURCH WILL PUT UP A HUGE SIGN TO MAKE THE VIEWER LAUGH"...

Yea some of the stuff is a bit forced. Especially in the early episodes.

I think it was supposed to be a shepherd's crook. At least that's all I can come up with.
Yeah that's how I've seen him the entire time. He's a douche. He tries to do well most of the time but at the end of the day he's a douche.

You never will.
I suppose that's possible!
It was, the sign on it said something "shepherd".
It was Ann herself. That's why she's so confident about Gob not coming back.
Yeah, It was pretty obvious it was Ann, since she was really confident, like you said.

Yeah I think the cutoff this year is May 31st, so it should be eligible this year.
I'm enjoying this a lot (3 more episodes to go), if the incredible final season of 30 Rock doesn't win best comedy (it won't) I'm going to riot.
I wondering how they'll do acting noms, probably supporting for all the cast members. Arnett for all the awards obviously, also some serious potential for guest starring Emmy noms (I've said this a hundred times, but Richter has been amazing).

Episode 12 was awesome, Maeby is great.

Maeby as the shaman in India, holy shit!

I definitely felt this season was incredibly cerebral and clever, even compared to previous seasons of AD. It really showed they adjusted to the new format, which led to jokes and stories being intertwined more. This however led to there being clutter and a lack of true story progression.
I had a really hard time keeping up with the story with all the jumping back and forth and its potent script.
I just can't shake the feeling though that they didn't have the resources to film everyone at the same time, so they split everything into a hundred other stories with other characters. It's not bad for the scripts' sake, but the reusing of sets throughout several time-periods and different perspectives, just becomes a bit too much at times.
I actually went in with no expectations, but was pleasantly surprised at the general quality of writing. Pretty dark at times, and characters acting outside of their expected range was pretty unexpectedly fun.

It's all about to click. From 5 on is where it gets great.

Are you guys forgetting all the jokes in season 3 begging for the show not to be cancelled?
Maybe this is common knowledge, but there actually exists a Fantastic Four movie that has been made because the rights expired on December 31, 1992:

Watch season 3, it's almost unbearable.
Season 1 was perfect, 2 was getting a little much and 3 removed all subtlety. I wonder if that was part of the notes from FOX to make it easier to understand...because Ron is ALWAYS talking.
Whenever he starts a sentence with "Because you see..." you're in for some bullshit.
I definitely felt that. At first I loved it, but then it became too much.

So what does Netflix have in the pipeline now? I know that Sense8 thing.

how long before netflix posts any actual stats and/or info on how well this new season is performing?
Such a fantastic joke...
All the way to the zebra print.
Never. They don't do that.
They'll say it did well, and that's that.

This was funny though. The way George Michael slowly tore it up reminded me of the Pier Pressure episode where Michael tells George Michael to close his textbook and stop studying and George Michael slowly closes the book but leaves his finger in one of the pages lol
Just reminded me of that.

I said it before but it's now my favorite gag of the series. So ingenius.
Sorry, "Where are we going after"...

Honestly, I didn't mind the change in narration over the course of the series.
The narrator is as much a character as anyone else, and as time wears on, he begins to lose his marbles. He becomes increasingly repulsed by what he's seeing and struggles to bite his tongue.

Surely in the next few weeks it'll be leaked in various entertainment outlets about how Netflix execs "feel" about their investment (remember, this is a public company $NFLX), how much pub the cast continues to get, how much talk there is about Season 5/movie, etc.

It takes a little while to adjust, but even then it can be jarring. Keep in mind that although Arrested Development is back, it's very much a different beast but at the same time it remains Arrested Development.
Hopefully you'll enjoy it as much as I did.

Is there some sort of symbolism regarding the ostrich? I mean there are references to it inside the show (michaels google car, etc) but is there some other reason?
There it is.
He's not the first. Won't be the last.

This buster episode is amazing

The buster and GOB/Tony Wonder episodes were top tier AD.

No I think GOB was with a certain someone at the model home during Cuatro.
It seems like Michael did it. But there's probably a twist that none of us will see coming.
