Hopefully none of the episodes will get an Elvis Presley head.

MINOR SPOILERS

How can the new season be considered a failure? It's not like it was a one-time special and now its gone. The new season will be on Netflix for years. I've watched the whole thing multiple times (some episodes more than others) and I've picked up enough of the context that the new episodes are just as hilarious and…

The new season was reportedly $45 million, which is practically feature film money.

As others have mentioned, the housing crisis was a necessary "fill in" to cover  the years between the last two seasons, but it was treated more as a plot point than an overarching story, which was the right way to go. The writers could've easily made the whole season about the Bluth company during the housing crisis.

Minor spoiler: you see his funeral procession go by in the background of a future episode.

I think he's a touch thinner now than he was back then.

I thought this too, at first, but I think it had more to do with the fact that George Michael's episodes and overarching plot take place near the end of the season and are mostly set in the present (as opposed to some of the other characters whose arcs draw heavily on the past 7 years). Maeby's episode and plot also…

I agree that they were vigilant about this in the early years, but they gave up sometime around season 5. Before and during the early parts of the season, they encounter Hirogen, Malon, Devore, etc. Then, they make several big jumps that cut 25-30 years off the trip. After that, they still run into (or talk about…

That bugged me, too. There's another episode (I think it was "The Voyager Conspiracy" in the sixth season), where Seven casually mentioned that they stopped at a Talaxian trading post at some point.

It was a fun episode to watch, but yes, a terrible finale with lots of issues:

The Search for Spock is actually one of my favorites, mainly because, of the original 6 movies, it pulls off some of the best characterization outside of TWOK. It definitely has flaws, though.

Must've been some of those "contract demands" because this season could be summed up with the phrase, "George Michael gets all the ladies."

After spending more time thinking about this than I'd like to admit, I think this season might have been better served if they'd broken apart some of the individual arc episodes and combined them in such a way that more characters were involved in each episode, with some streamlining of the multi-year time jumps.

I agree that the show was diminished by the new format, but I also suspect that an "all-in" period woud've never come. Bateman and Cera churn out movies pretty regularly, and Will Arnett seems to star in a new sitcom every other week. Also, even though Netflix doesn't operate on a season-to-season schedule, every…

Right! Even when they began acting like each other, you could still tell who was who. Bravo, Jeffrey Tambor. Too bad the episodes weren't among the best.

Spoilers be below if you've never seen Voyager:

True, but at least they did that before they started filming on location.

I found the new episodes to be off-putting at first, then got into them as the season progressed/ By the time I got back to rewatching the first episodes, it all seemed great.

It was supposed to be, but the director quickly discovered that Kate Mulgrew couldn't say "Seventh" without spitting in the face of whoever she was acting against.
