I feel like the Love Each Other is gonna have a much more significant meaning in the future of AD (there's no way they can end it the way they did)
GM and Maeby are going to love the shit outta each other.
This so much.

Hahah I just caught Jeff Green tell maeby, "as I live and breathe" when he sees her for the first time in years. Didn't catch that the first time.

I'm thinking that, whether they end up doing a movie or more shows or both, it may end like the Office ends (Should end? Will end? Did end? Is it over yet?). The show ends just as they're finally starting to make a TV show out of the Bluth story, and cut to: season 1.
I think they hinted at more shows before a movie when Maeby said "Maybe a TV show," but maybe that was just commenting on how their situation turned out.

I loved that Debrie was called Debris.
Shut up she looks great.

I'm fairly certain they're gonna make more seasons for netflix. A movie format for this show wouldn't feel right. I've watched it since it first came on, and 20-30 minute episodes is perfect.

Getting everyone together again is going to be tricky though.

Finished. 5 stars. Loved it.

No more so than a movie would.
I've never understood why Hurwitz and Howard were so enamored with the idea of a movie. Arrested Development has always felt better suited to television than a 90 minute movie.

Wouldn't a movie be even trickier? Edit: Beaten. I mean they definitely have something planned with the ending the way it was.
I think its gonna be something like this:
-Season 4 does well, Netflix wants to keep it going, does Season 5. Possibly a movie down the line.
-Season 4 does meh or poorly, or is not worth it, they do a movie to finish it out and be done with it.

Probably because the logistics of it make more sense.

Honestly, they set it up better for a new season. GM and Michael finding out the other is dating Rebel, and Buster being arrested for murder. (Not to mention all the other lesser important story advances) A movie wouldn't be enough. You're looking at 2 and a half hours vs. 7 and a half.

Alpaca?
I thought she looked ... inconsistent. Sometimes better than others. Didn't grow up as cute as I thought she would have.
I'd like another season to wrap up the storylines of this season, which went completely unresolved. Movie would be an okay substitute. I intentionally didn't follow the prodcution of season 4, though, and as soon as I ended I was disappointed to find out that the movie thing wasn't already in the works, as the open natured ending seemed like something was already lined up.

I hope she carries a spare bowl of candy beans with her.
I've only watch episode 1 so may she looks better.

I think that getting them together will be much easier going forward if this series is successful.
What do these people have going for them that is so hard to plan around? I mean, Ben Stiller and random high profile guests okay, but Jessica Walter has Archer (<3) and Bateman has that movie with the chick from Bridesmaids and Cera has every teenage role ever and Arnett has being awesome, but it's not like we're talking about mega stars. Hell, Andy Richters schedule might be the hardest to work around.
With the exposure AD is getting, I feel like the incentive to get together for more will only increase.

Well I just finished. Not my favorite season, but I enjoyed it. I hope they end up doing another season or two for Netflix.

And yeah how would a 90 minute movie be just as difficult logistically as an 8 hour season?

You can't say "trick" and set somebody up, buddy?
Can someone explain what was up w that? Still don't get what was happening to George sr and his testosterone.
Low estrogen levels, though we don't know why. Since the body wants the macca, we know its not that.
I do know that adult males can have a hormone imbalance, my uncle takes pills for his low estrogen.
I'm sure it is something that will come out later in further AD episodes/movies.
Remember that this is all act one of something bigger.

I feel like they have something planned for this along with all the other unresolved plotlines in whatever followup they end up doing.
Thanks. I thought it was something I missed. Seems like its one of this season's mysteries.

Wow. The first 5 episodes on the rewatch are pretty great. Its like seeing a second layer of jokes just unfolding.
Wasnt it high estrogen levels? And who knows what Dr.Norman(?) was tossing into that port a potty. They did reference it being uphill from the macca plant several times.
Yes. High estrogen and nonexistant testosterone.

I feel like they latched on to the whole self-referential humor the internet went crazy over and kept posting everywhere, like the Buster hand foreshadowing.
It wasn't in every episode in the original series, and it made a lot of the episodes repeat a lot of stuff from earlier episodes. It got annoying.

Seems like there was a psychological component to it as well. When he saw that tribal figure (

I thought they may have got themselves confused, and Oscar thought he was George and vice versa.

Yes and maca apparently boosts the libido and testosterone (IRL), so I'm guessing George got a tainted root or something since the commode was uphill. Only thing I can think of.
Aside from Marky Bark and the "premonition".

Oh this would be great if true.
Oh god that would be Incredible.
