So on Sunday, the internet's favorite television show ever (except maybe Firefly) returned with its fourth season posted exclusively on Netflix. And everybody blue themselves over it.
So has anybody seen it yet? I've been crazy busy since this weekend, so I haven't had opportunity until tonight to do it. I've heard good things, though that it's not as good as seasons 1-3 (which I kinda figured anyway)
Arrested Development Season 4!!!!

My friends and I marathoned the entire season on Sunday.
DAMN THAT WAS FUNNY STUFF.
It just goes to remind me just how clever the writers of that show were.
The one thing that was weird, however, was that (only minor spoilers) [spoiler]the 15 episodes don't actually cover all that significant amount of time. A good half is dedicated to speeding through five years to catch up with the present... whereas the rest of the show really spans just a handful of days. The plot weaves very tightly around those few days, being retold several times as one extra piece of the puzzle gets added to each scene, completely changing what we thought actually happened. Brilliant, but definitely less episodic than the original series.[/spoiler]
That said, I laughed. A lot. :)
Oh also... (mega-spoiler) [spoiler]the series ends on a cliffhanger. Almost as if they're pitching a future movie. :p [/spoiler]

I finished it about 20 minutes ago. After her individual episode, Maeby is officially one of my favorite fictional characters ever.
I have no ethical problems with that. Good to know. What's the name of it? I want to see if it works on Chrome.Marilink wrote:^There will probably be some region locking, but there's a Firefox add-on that bypasses that. I should look for that before I go.
The guys who played Gabe Lewis and David Wallace on The Office also appear in one of the later episodes.Panfan wrote:watching right now and i'm enjoying it quite a bit wait was that dan harmon ****ing **** that was dan harmon was that seriously dan ****ing harmon holy ****
I think re-watching the episodes will definitely add to the experience. The first three seasons benefit from multiple viewings as well, obviously, so it's really not that surprising.The Missing Link wrote:[spoiler]The plot weaves very tightly around those few days, being retold several times as one extra piece of the puzzle gets added to each scene, completely changing what we thought actually happened.

Netflix has announced that [spoiler]they'd be willing to do another season (source) if the cast and producers are up to it[/spoiler], despite some unfortunate events that occurred because the new season wasn't quite as critically acclaimed as they thought it would be.
I enjoyed it very much, though. As I stated in my previous post, there's no way the new episodes could have ever lived up to the hype. The second and third episodes were the only ones that I wasn't really that fond of.
