I'm waiting for my car to be serviced right now and on the waiting room TV there's some daytime show on doing a special episode about a woman with face blindness.
Edit: It's the Jeff Probst(?) Show.

That Fantastic Four song is still stuck in my head. And I'm hearing it in Debrie's voice. Its the way she says "face" and "place". That Mark Cherry beat is freakin killer.

When I watched the Lindsay 1 ep yesterday with my mom she said shed heard a news story about face blindness in the past week, and it's the first time shed ever heard of it. Everybody stealing ADs thunder!
Her first episode had its moments, and it's better the second time around, but it was the weakest episode of the season. I liked her second episode though, after

Oh my god. I just now noticed something. In George Michael's episode "It Gets Better", when the "Social Network" lawsuit scene with the lawyers occurs, the twin brothers from college are in the scene for some reason. I just noticed it now, they're like the Winklevoss Twins. They helped facilitate the beginning of Fakeblock by giving George Michael a larger room to accomodate a second room-mate, P-hound.

I'll say it again, I think her first episode is way better than the second one (George Sr.'s). After watching the second episode I thought this whole season would be terrible. Lindsay's episode gave me hope.

Wow, that mural at the airport is like the entire story of the first three seasons in painting form.

Yeah plus its on a way to a new start.
Was it just me or were they repeatedly teasing characters saying "I've made a huge mistake"?
Final "On the next Arrested Development" from episode 15 was a particular example, I was sure GOB was gonna say it. I felt like someone trying to get Bart Simpson to say: I didn't do it

Not that the two universes are connected, but I can't help but feel like Herbert Love is an ancestor of President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho.

I just realized that the finale is the first episode to not have a

Keep watching.

Not sure if this is what you meant but It's not the first episode of the series to not have "On the Next". Pier Pressure doesn't have one either
This might have been discussed and might be a stretch, but I noticed
Lem tells Michael that George Maharis is older than him, has red hair = red hairing = red herring

hmmm My mind is literally fucked just now when I found out that Rebel Alley wasn't played by Amy Adams.
.....seriously?
I just finished the season. I don't get how people are saying it's not good - I found it brilliant at its best and very good at its worst. First few episodes are used to establish some things that get important or funny down the line, but are needed imo, because the payoff is great.
There are so many gags I missed on this first watch. So many things I wanted to freeze frame. What's on the board in front of George-Michaels dorm room?
And the last episode alone has the awesome news-banner on TV in the background, reminding someone of his doctors appointment and to bring his drivers license instead of actual news. I can't imagine what else is in there that I missed.
It would be awesome, if there was a fifth season that was called: Arrested Development: The Movie. They will clearly bring this storyline to an end, one way or the other. Many setups for a movie or a new season - either way: I'm pumped for more.
Next time, give me more Maeby and Lucille and less Lindsay (she looked unhealthy skinny with long hair) please.

An you all were wondering if it was even necessary for me to post that PSA about the misplaced "On the Next..." a few pages ago. Told you it was required.
By GOB, you're right. How did I never notice that?

Dude don't feel bad I did the same shit. Then I took a break while watching and seen a ad for Now you see me.

Also there's a whole handful from the first season (maybe other seasons?) that don't have it either. I was rewatching them on Netflix before s4 and a few times I was like WTF NETFLIX before I realized that not every episode has the On the Next.

Oh, you guys! (I also had the Amy Adams thing at first, straight to Wikipedia lol)
Also: Tobias isn't in that episode. that's a rarity in the first three seasons, and surprising because it's one of the best episodes.
It was directed at "Ron". Ron Howard, obviously: it's Imagine News, after all.
Speaking of which, it also says "Happy Birthday to Bryce" despite the fact Bryce Dallas Howard was born in March! ZOMG plot hole!
Same thing for the "Wednesday, February 27" on Gob's phone right before that! Unless you argue that Gob has no "today" button either, but since it would have to be 2013 or 2008 rather than 2003 like Michael, I can't convince myself that was intended.

Did anyone else first confuse the hippie mute girl with the "Solid as a rock" model?

Finished the season, good although pretty confusing with all the jumps.
Loved the buster episode. Gob's episodes were pretty bad, along with Pop Pop's these were the low points for me.

Probably my biggest disappointment of the new season was the lack of the whole family or many Bluths getting together in one place at one time. I know that was how the story had to be written because of prior acting engagements, but those were some of my favorite parts of the previous seasons. That said, I really enjoyed that spliced clip.

At least the second one, I don't remember the first one at this point.

first one has that great magic trick. and that hilarious entourage parody.
gob's were among the highlights of this season.
the worst episodes were george sr, lindsey and most of tobias. those two new hobo characters sucked so bad. especially debrie.
terry crews was great though.

And wow, the 2nd Gob ep was classic AD. To me, it was the best thing in the entire season.

The whole acting clinic got me though. It was great.

I liked the entourage part, the magic trick was meh. Good overall, that second episode though.
And I agree the new hobo characters sucked. Heartfire was simply awesome and a great addition.
I love how many of the seasons jokes seem made up but are actually real things.
-low-budget Fantastic 4 movie made just to keep the rights
-face blindness
-Ron Howard (middle) naming his kids after here they ere conceived
probably others

Yeah, I found gobs to be superb.
I was really surprised by Maeby's episode. She was always the least developed of the main cast, but she ended up with the best single-episode arc of the bunch. The series of events leading to her becoming a convicted statutory rapist was pretty amazing.

So, what's our theory on who's in the Thing costume for the Fantastic Four musical float? I think that might be a big clue as to what's ahead...
