My first impression was a man because of Gob's 'bad guess',  but then I was like, this is Gob.  No way.  But in later episodes it's made to look that maybe it's Rebel, because that would upset Michael no end.  All that 'dating a celebrity' thing, and 'she's seeing another' man stuff. But then, I wouldn't have put it…

But isn't your assessment also poo-pooing people who did enjoy this new season? Isn't your last paragraph searching for your own validation? I liked the mural and the Workaholics.  Am I dumb for doing so?  Let's not pretend you're not looking for your own support group or circle jerk or judges panel to call your own.

I liked the mural too, it felt like a message to fans as a loving callback to the original series, and listening to The Narrator's words about Michael who "found himself with nothing to lose", it sort of points out things he would actually be losing.  My favorite was the seal with a bowtie on 'em.

Plus, a lot of the repeated footage are different cuts of the scene or different dialogue to emphasize something different. Doing some of the split screen stuff wouldn't work at all that way.

How many times in the oven does the duck need before it's time for a trip to the Chinese restaurant?

Think it was a more "Goodbye, Annyong." For a goodbye/hello thing.  But "So Long"
 has quite a bit going for it.

Ask Dr. Norman to check you out.

Also, Gene Parmesan works at a Chicken Dan's, to which Michael says "Chicken Dan's, huh. That is embarrassing."  In the Lucille ep.

Chrome comes with it's own version of Flash that doesn't work well with the 'computer' version of flash.  There's websites that tell you how to turn one or the other off according to your desires, I think the main choice to be made is how you want the flash to update. I think the Chrome version of Flash will update…

I also liked the airport mural.  I'm surprised I've not seen it mentioned.

I also enjoyed how the Army officers are simply not "soldiers" anymore when they only fly drones that they are intimidated by the local teen bullies for using their table.

Slattery is Dr. Norman, I believe, when he's not under.

Oh, George Micheal.  Don't start your engine.

Michael Cera is listed as a Consulting Producer in the opening credits.  Not sure what that means, per se.

Squidward knows intrinsically funny.

Maybe you both could use some math tutoring.

I sense something wrong about your George Michael timeline.  In the first GM episode of Season 4 he references the kiss with Maeby from Season 3 as being when they were h.s. seniors.  I think they're both 23 by the end of Season 4.

I think it's telling that the Asian has to foot the bill.  It's the second time because the Chinese mob is footing the bill for the wall and they seem to be getting the shaft too.

There was a pinging noise during the time Ron Howard and Michael were in the space capsule, but I thought it was a gag on the pings you hear when you watch Apollo coverage or movies on that, like when they're communicating with Houston.

I think I spent over an hour on each episode, because I pause a lot to read the jokes planted on websites or yearbooks or magazine pages. Or I rewind to catch some visual or audible that caught my attention, or I just liked the way they delivered a line.  But also the complex plot and jokes take some attention and a…
