Arrested Development: Season 4 Review (Spoilers)

Jan 20, 2015 08:53

If you want to hear me take a huge dump on a beloved, critically acclaimed franchise, my Arrested Development review is for you. The fourth season is absolute trash. I didn't want to go to bed last night because I knew when I woke up it would be the first time I realized that Arrested Development actually wasn't very good. I was not looking forward ( Read more... )

Sleepy Hollow "Paradise Lost": To show what an opportunistic, non-heroic person would do in a world like this.

Sleepy Hollow "Pittura Infamante": Nice imagery. She's got a lot of natural grace and beauty, helped along by the costuming. In real life she's probably stunning but not blindingly so.

Grimm "Wesenrein": NBC needs a "Dream Sequence Promo" Jar like people use Swear Jars.

Family Guy "Stewie, Chris, & Brian's Excellent Adventure": The 90's joke was funny too.

Parks And Recreation "Ron And Jammy": My memories are a little hazy, but wasn't Lilith always rude to Martin and Niles and the others?

Arrested Development: Season 4: I feel like a lot of your complaints were a result of this original issue.

A New Start: She played Morgan Le Fay in the 1970's Dr. Strange movie. I'm fairly certain the Spider-Man and Hulk shows at the time didn't have any named villains from the comics, and if Hulk did, it wasn't until later (did he fight Absorbing Man?)

The Writing And The Scripts: Clearly, but this IS Arrested Development, and you know some things look differently on a second watch with this show.

Rebel Alley: I was referring to Lucille Austero.

Sleepy Hollow Paradise Lost: I disagree that there is a need to show that.

Sleepy Hollow "Pittura Infamante": Bruce Timm once related that Gina Torres is a stunningly beautiful woman in real life, even without help from professional make-up artists. I'm betting Winters is the same way.

Grimm "Wesenrein": If the penalty was a nickel they could use it to fund all of he Avatar sequels.

Family Guy "Stewie, Chris, & Brian's Excellent Adventure": What was the 90's joke again?

Parks And Recreation "Ron And Jammy": I don't remember that although I believe it. To be fair they were on Frasier's side in the matter and Frasier was a total butthole.

Arrested Development: Season 4: They were not. I deliberately promised myself to keep an open mind about the format ahead of time. The entire family not being in every single episode was not a concern for me at all.

A New Start: I don't remember anything about the Hulk show.

The Writing And The Scripts: It was too unpleasant an experience. I'm not going through it again.

Rebel Alley: Her stuff sucked. Big time.

Sleepy Hollow "Pittura Infamante": I could see that.

Family Guy "Stewie, Chris, & Brian's Excellent Adventure": Someone doing a weird dance to "King of Wishful Thinking" by Go West and Stewie saying that's all there was to the 90's.

Arrested Development: Season 4: I was just thinking for the balance. You like Tobias more but said his episodes are depressing, I think they could've done that as a subplot in another episode and it would've been fine paired along with a not-so downer Michael A-plot.

Family Guy "Stewie, Chris, & Brian's Excellent Adventure": I don't even know that song. That's how much attention I paid to the 90's.

Rebel Alley: I didn't like her stuff with Michael, but the ending made me curious as to what happened to her.

The ending made me want to punch Mitch Hurwitz in the nose.

Pretty much. George Michael punched the wrong person.
