She's fairly pretty and he also thinks she's smart and talented.  And he isn't exactly a dreamy stud himself.

Is anyone reading it any differently?  I'm pretty sure that's the joke. 

Thank you for pointing this out, because this part really brings the whole thing together:

I have no doubt that just like other AD seasons, there'll be jokes that I don't get until the 15th viewing, and other jokes I won't get until someone explicitly spells them out to me with an animated GIF. 

Because he thinks of her as an amazing actress who can do impressive big screen movies like the Fantastic Four, amazing monologues at the Methad One Acting Clinic, and dazzling improv like eating butter.

As Gary mentioned, the joke is simply that those watermarks appear on any footage of S1-S3 flashbacks and that Netflix was too cheap to buy the rights to either the first three seasons OR the software they used to steal clips from it.

To be fair, There's Something Wrong With Aunt Diane is compelling as fuck.

We're looking at you, "Good Job, Internet!" 

Well, I didn't catch it after twice, so you are not.  :D 

Tony Wonder and GOB were absolutely one of the highlights of this season and could possibly be my favorite moments with GOB, period.  Just so well done. 

I totally made that mistake at first, and thank God I was watching with someone else so that I could get corrected.  Because it really was much funnier. 

I read it as a joke in and of itself.  It may not have been intended, but it made the whole thing work much better for me.  He doesn't resemble Tambor very much, and if you had shown my those scenes out of context, I would have guessed it was supposed to be Lucille Bluth and her first husband or something.  But the…

I don't think it's necessary to have to put a big blinking chart on the screen that says "Sometimes our jokes are absurd!"  It's just kinda there for you to read, and has always been a feature of the show.  The joke stems from taking the idea of face blindness and pushing it to the point of absurdity, and I don't…

Yeah, I think that it only seems to drag on when it's 10 AM and you realize you've been watching the show for 7 hours straight.  I think Hurwitz was right about it being a bad idea to shotgun all of this.

I haven't really seen anyone else mention it, but was I the only one who got absolutely blown away when it was revealed that Maeby was the Swami?  I guess I was a bit distracted, but that reveal blew my socks off and was probably the moment that I fully realized that I was in love with this season.

@avclub-fb3deea8bff8902a6a092a4b532b4a68:disqus It does!  At least, it did for me.  The second viewing made a whole lot of the season come off better.  Even moreso than usual, this season is pretty dense and requires a fair bit of attention to catch everything.

This was almost certainly the biggest laugh of the season for me.  It was just so obvious that GOB was going to pull another mouse out of her ear, and he managed to find pretty much the only thing that wasn't completely out of the blue and actually made him an even bigger dick.  So glorious.

I don't like baseball very much at all, but that was absolutely worth a minute and a half of my time.  :D 

This is definitely my feeling on the subject, and I'd imagine most of us.  I'm too hopeful now, though.  My heart is going to shatter if this doesn't go through.  :( 

I just finally finished my own run through, and I have to say that it's just as delicious as ever it was, and there are tons of little things in the background that I didn't notice but will in the future.  The episodes just get better and better as the stories continue to get layered on top of each other.
