It won't be the same when we can't all assume the identities of various characters. That thread will be remembered as the unregistered commenters' last stand.

Sam Waterston's loins have eyebrows?

The fact that there's been a fair number of failed celebrity fueled kickstarters since VM (don't forget Shemar Moore: http://variety.com/2013/dig… ) does make me feel slightly better about the whole thing, that people do require some sort of proven track record before handing their money over.

Kay Howard.

Quit your funny talk.

My attitude is if you're actually able to lock up the cast for a 4-6 week period that a film shoot would presumably require, why not just make a short season instead, something along the lines of those six episode British seasons?

Wait, so you're saying the drop doesn't have anything to do with the Brewers' 4 game losing streak?

Arrested Development season 4 currently has a Metacritic score of 73. House Of Cards has a 76. So not only is the AP article's reasoning specious, but the underlying premise (mixed-to-bad reviews) is pretty much made up.

I don't know why this is only now occuring to me, but since Netflix and Amazon are pretty direct rivals in the streaming market, if the Onion show gets picked up would Amazon even let Tambor do more Arrested Development.

Then explain how Thomas Jefferson got so many girls … Oh, right.

It's looking more and more like I'll be leading the Lindsay defense this season.

@avclub-6d0cbc987f0ee695ca4e8d07ecde8d7a:disqus Once they decided that they needed to get paid for the wall without actually building it, the plan became to build enough of the wall to trigger some sort of automatic government payment, before getting the project shut down. The Mongolians were there to build those wall…

I don't consider them famous enough.

Okay, I'll bite. What was the Belline reference? Was it somewhere in Bruce McCulloch's cameo?

At the risk of being hyperbolic, I really think that final scene might be about as a perfect a season ending that I can remember. When that punch lands, there is so much emotional catharsis and hilarity simultaneously contained in that single moment. And the way they held on it silently for a while and even stayed…

He appeared out of nowhere, right in front of that dumbwaiter.

Yep, an early season 2 episode. He played a realtor who invited Lindsay to an open house. Lindsay mistakenly though he was inviting her to a swingers party.

I think we're supposed to view Ron Howard and The Narrator as two separate characters. For one thing, he receives two separate guest star credits when he appears on camera.

I actually think the guest star complaint has been a rather overused one in various reviews. Aside from the Wiig & Rogen, which might amount to five minutes of screentime across the whole season, the only other vaguely stunty one was Krasinski, which was blink and you miss it. Most of the other famous faces are either…

@Scrawler2:disqus I'd say there was also some satire in Lindsay & Tobias buying the mansion without putting any money upfront.
