And then the LORD David Bowie saith to his Son, Jonny Depp: 'Go, and spread my image amongst the cosmos. For every living thing is in anguish and only the LIGHT shall give them reprieve.'
It's funny how Tony Hale has the same amount of hair he did ten years ago, even though he was going bald then. Loving his episode.

Just finished watching the season. I hate to make a judgement after just one viewing, but I thought I'd put down my thoughts here so I can look back on them later after a few more viewings in the future. It started out a bit slowly for the first few episodes, probably because I couldn't believe I was actually watching NEW AD episodes (and there was a lot of set up in the plot during those episodes), but man does it ever pick up after that. I LOVED the Gob and Tobias episodes the most I'd have to say, and GOB #2 has already become one of my favorite episodes of the entire series. The entire episode just perfected captured the character and the scenarios of that episode (especially the mask scene) was amazingly hilarious.

I also died when Lucille asked Buster: "Are you threatening yourself?"

The first Gob episode had me in fucking stitches. "Hello darkness, my old friend."
Also when he can't quite find the words to break up with Ann and just has a complete and total break down. Perfect.

She does look very different. But when she gets potential minor spoilers for you

Part of what made the Gob episodes work is that his ensemble was mostly established side characters, not new (and usually underwhelming) ones.
Probably one of my favorite Gob moments from this season.
yeah the new side characters are underwhelming at best and irritating at worst.

It looks like the end of the Lucille episode you get the first look at the stair car with the bloodied steps on it where it says Lucille 2 has now become the "Invisible Girl" It flashes brighter for a split second, wonder if you guys were able to see anything new from that scene?

Yep. One way or another there will be more I know they knew this too how it ended. Can't wait to see how they do it though.
And he was supposed to be the good one.

This is how I feel about Ilsa Fisher being nearly 40.

I assumed it an ashtray made my GM in some arts and crafts class? Correct?

I paused on the scene when the fireworks go off, you can see the "blood" is in the shape of a "Z" oddly enough, and there's what looks like a mop hanging against the curb into a free. They're supplying some visible clues, I just wonder how close we'll be to the real answer.
Yeah, it just flew over my head for some reason.

Regarding the camera crews, they show up in a few places. I brought up the one in the India airport filming guys dressed as cowboys, and people said it was Maeby's film crew for Gangie 5, but it isn't. Then there's also the crew filming Maeby's math class when Donny tells everyone to get out. If it was an aborted plot line they would have cut them out or used alternate takes. It's either a red hairing, or part of the overall story that would span another season/movie along with all the other unresolved plot points.
There should be a new thread for completed watch discussion, it feels like every other post in this thread is 'OMG did anyone else notice Lucille's number is HELLO' or complaining about Portia's face.

"Shot by love" playing in the background when Gob and Tony first meet in the bar after Gobs failed sabotage
Even better is "Balls in the air" when GOB and Michael fight in the ball pit.

Haha same here. I'm stupid
Love those songs. And when GMs band was playing Balls in the Air lol
God I was dying at the GOB roofie loop.
After first watching, I feel like the really nailed it. It starts out a little slow, but makes sense by the end when you realize how intricately each story line ties into each other. It makes me very excited to rewatch the season.
It was a bit darker than previous seasons, and I liked that. The fact that each characters life gets increasingly dark and depressing without the help of the family speaks volumes about the Bluths.

I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
I just finished Episode 2.
I imagine the stories you see on the WE magazine on the "next time" segment are all hinting at future plots? Like there's one about a sports player (Steve Holt?), a fat guy (Gob gaining weight from the Forget-Me-Nots, explaining his swollen cheek and the "may cause weight gain" sign), and a musician (the random student in the dorm who Michael refers to as "a musician")? Or am I looking too deep into things.

one of my biggest laughs:
"Hey I met a girl today, and her name is--SHIT!!"
bateman's timing is amazing.

this was amazing, also:
"Hey, there's a raccoon in the backyard"
"Bullshit?!" with Tobias' big ass grin, had me rolling.

Was the bullshit censored? For some reason I thought I remembered a "shit" not being censored...

I'm so glad they kept the swears censored.
I figured they probably would, but I was still relieved when I heard those glorious beeps.

He says "Hey I met a girl today" to the same theme as "Getaway, Getaway." Haha.
Maybe they realized "BALLS!" and edited it out of the show, but they were on the deadline for a Trailer, so who knows. haha.
Yup, a roofie ring might be my single favourite Arrested Development invention yet.

Here's a compilation of all of the opening credits sequences.
I love how in Tobias' credits, nobody is referred to as "-in-law," clearly suggesting that nobody wanted to be classified as such.
EDIT: Oh Christ, I just noticed the wood block on George Michael's.

"That just saved me 12 bucks."
You're reading too much into it.
Aren't George Michael and Maeby still technically married from the nursing home episode? That would fit the whole "the movie is about a son trying to get out from under his domineering father while we slowly watch his wife die" theory. Assuming Maeby is dying of course.
EDIT: Or possibly the scene just after the boat accident where she's trying to get her parents' attention counts?

Somehow it took me until Lindsay's second episode to realize the credits were different for each episode depending on who the episode was about.

The finale's credits feature a compilation of all the different musical touches. So cool.
Really? I figured it out in the first ep when they said "This is Michael's Arrested Development". Confirmed the 2nd ep when it turned into "This is George Sr's Arrested Development".

You all notice how the opening music was slightly different depending on the character?

Ok, I think Michael and Lucille 2 had sex in the banana stand, and that's how he ended up in the shirt.
Actually, was the banana stand in this season at all? Odd considering it was such a large part of the prerelease marketing.
