I was taking a walk today, and I realized that I am looking forward to re-watching this show an awful lot.  Normally I re-watch a show simply because I think it'll be fun, but the plotting on this has been so tightly paced, it'll be great to watch these characters in context with what we know now (and what we'll know…

The Maebe episode is my favourite.  More Alia Shawkat on TV please!

YES!

Conveniently, Alexander also questioned whether he was Gioffre Borgia's father in real life.  He was not a fan of the kid's lack of ambition.

This was a weaker Lucrezia episode, to be sure.  I also agree with you about the Rabbi being a great new character.  I hope he sticks around for a while, even if it's just to see him bounce off Alexander.

To be fair, there are multiple historical interpretations that see him as mostly an extension of Giulia.  Although her family was already of some note, she's often credited for its ascension to true power within Italian politics.

I agree with you big time on the George-Michael and Maeby thing.  They should not have picked it up right after season 3, it was just off-putting.  If shows that aren't cancelled can do time-skips, this one could have too.

Judy Greer is fantastic!  And attractive.  That is all.

Because if there's one thing that signifies maturity, it's viewing others as immature for having different opinions than you.

Michael was definitely off. The repeated-trope of Michael realizing he was being overbearing with George Michael was a central conceit of 1-3 AD.  Here it was mostly done away with while they dialed-up Michael's jackassery to unprecedented levels.

This season of AD was really weird to me.  I thought it was funny and as clever as ever, but I'm a geek about plot-structure, and so the problems with pacing here really bugged me.  Some characters seemed padded out with a single too-long story (Tobias), while others' seemed far too compressed (Maeby). Gob's plot was…

I agree totally.  As a character setpiece, it was a fantastically written piece of action, and I loved it simply because of how well-scripted and acted it was.

When he spoke about being tortured, the show went with a lingering shot to emphasize that what happened to him was serious.  Alison's perspective was played for laughs, but that specific moment was not.

Sarah is also a little bit controlling, and probably didn't want Paul to interfere in any decisions she might make re: killing Helena. When Kira asked her to help Helena, it definitely affected her.

That's an excellent interpretation!

I've never agreed with Caroline's view of Neolution as cheesy, because it was obviously supposed to be cheesy in the show's universe too.
