It bothered me more in the insert me anywhere viral stuff than the actual show.
Do you not live in a place where every street corner has a sign flipper?
Europe has surprisingly few sign flippers.
Ah, yeah t seems like it would be an American thing.
I think that's the red herring and that Michael hid the body. Sally going into power was just the icing on the cake. Plus, we know Tony Wonder probably didn't do it because he was with GOB the entire night.
Loved it, the first three episodes aren't very good, but it picks up steam. Could have done without this new character centric format even if it plays out nicely at times. I do apreciate that they're taking risks and trying new things. It was nearly impossible to live up to the hype, so they did a great job.

I feel like one main reason AD is so great is that it doesn't follow "the secret of all television: at the end of the episode, everything is back to normal." 
Thus I think we need more hands cut off, more hair cut off, more murders (?), more gay stuff (!), etc

THe entire first episode she was in, I didnt think it was her. I thought it was going to be some running gag with her character. Then when they show the preview of her cutting her hair she got hotter. But yeah she looks so weird

Michaels line in ep 1: "Then I fall down a flight of stairs, crack my head open. You feel terrible your entire life."

I was hoping Kitty would have a run in with the Ostrich if only to reference Archer.
LOVED Kitty this season (her photo ID lol)
But I thought of

Did they ever go earlier than the kids being born in 1-3? I figured that was why. They were just much younger in these flashbacks.
Well, we see Lucille when Michael and Lindsay were kids and she was still played by Jessica Walters, and when we see GM as a kid the two parents are played by Kristen Wiig and Seth Rogen.
Haha nice catch.

I can only imagine how many takes where one of them spit water out laughing during the double drink scene. I was dying at that and thought it had to take tons of takes to get it right.

What was the deal with that long shot of GOB listening to the message and then just staring into the mirror in the epilogue?
Crack open a Final Cut Pro User Manual much? It don't sound like ya do!

Michael couldn't have had anything to do with Lucille 2; after Cinco de Cuatro but before the roofie, he tells Gob that he's going to find a way to deal with her (first episode I think?) So he doesn't know she's missing, or I'm mis-remembering the scene.
The only thing I would really love to see edited in order is the full penthouse scene when the whole cast gathers.
His mother woke him up telling him it was his time to rise as a director and to keep his nose clean, no scandals. At that point he probably had forgotten what had happened. It all came back to him when he got the voicemail. Also, it would've been fantastic if he had had some shaving foam on his nose.

Yeah, that's just a reference to real estate places very commonly having sign flippers to point people to open houses and things.
We also very commonly have them for tax centers and sometimes bonds places as well. There's a chain called "Liberty Income Tax" and they always have a guy nearby dressed in a flimsy Statue of Liberty costume spinning a sign.
It's kind of depressing honestly.
No, he said he lost control, and some other things.

My apartment complex, which is actually very nice and not at all cheap or sketchy, uses one of those sign flippers on weekends.
It makes me cringe.

So even though season 4 wasn't perfect, I can't wait for season 5. Time to buy up some Mike's Hard Lemonade and Pepsi to make it happen. Downloaded "Boomerang" by Lucy Schwartz this morning for good measure too.
Haha, yeah I thought the "Pepsi" for breakfast seemed kind of misplaced. The Mike's Hard Lemonade was funny as Mr. Beard had all of that leftover from the show.
GOB used his last one on Michael. Sounds stupid, but I'm guessing that by showing no emotion to anything, he was genuinely hurt by the fact that Tony Wonder took one.

I think George and Oscar got themselves confused. Oscar cries at the drop of a hat in ep 2, and thats what "George" complains about later on.
Either that, or Oscar had the same medical problem George is having now, and thats what caused their personality differences.

I like how Michael assumed it was Lindsay, then settled on it being Tobias. Lol

The super long pauses/narration with George-Michael might be the best part of the season to me people after the first watch.

Way to plant, Ann!
lol, I think I'll be able to appreciate that a little more on my second watch. You know almost 45 seconds of nothing wouldn't have made it on the old show.
That's the best part of having a series on Netflix. Since they're not bound by timeslots they can flesh out scenes like that no problem

Never took a minute to listen to the lyrics, they're great. I didn't notice them before since I was so shocked at what happened between the two at the end.

I kind of hope the next step is a movie, so it concludes this season nicely AND brings everyone together so that Season 5 can be everyone back together again in the same capacity as the first three seasons.
lol at Twin Hater George Michael.

Yes, I need this as my ringtone too now. lol. I love how you heard the song everywhere after Cherry recorded it. Best on Gob's phone. I hope this song surfaces on youtube soon.

lol it makes sense that he would hate twins, since Michael and Lindsay being "twins" or not was a source of much consternation re: whether he could get with Maeby or not.
