how do you mean? Are you expecting them to rigidly open discussion for each episode every 20-30 minutes? I'm expecting nothing but the most lax mod control, as soon as the episodes are available to watch it's up to people to avoid spoiling themselves if they can't marathon them right away.

Well this doesn't sound as good as I thought it would. Expanding an already structured season out? Just ask for a new season!

Honestly? Arrested development NEEDS some kind of adjustment or unforeseen probelm in the production phase. That gives it the unique flavor. It would be too perfect otherwise.
And no, I am not even joking

Eh, if its still coming in April I'll be happy. I wonder if Hurwitz wants more in-jokes to tie together for the whole season..perhaps one of the reasons he wants it all in one season.

Yeah....... no.
I'm sorta shocked that Netflix would even put all episodes of something brand new to the market up at the same time, both for this and House of Cards. You would think they would want to release it more along the lines of a normal TV season, in order to keep people from just signing up for a trial and then not signing up again once the first month or whatever is up or once they finish watching it all. Then at the end of the "season" they would still have each episode up all together already.
You almost ruined my day. I can't wait any longer for S4
There's nothing different there than your previous link. How could you possibly have a problem with this?

I'm really wondering how the first episode will be handled. I expect many jokes about Netflix helping the Bluths.
This link may come in handy over the next couple months.

I'm currently watching season 3 for the first time and I'm somewhat shocked by how bad it is in comparison to the first two seasons.
This storyline with the British blonde is absolutely terrible.

Agreed. I'd consider it the shows low point.

Season 4 will probably be disappointing based on how expectations grow over time and how we're going to be comparing new material to stuff we've seen many times and analyzed to death. You're also going to get a bunch of people who will say how bad it was in comparison, just because they know it has such a hardcore following.
What I think GAF should actually do is create a separate 'Arrested Development Community Forum' where there are individual threads for each episode. The show deserves no less.
[edit] Yep:
This is how it will be, and how it should be. I'm going to avoid the OT altogether until I've watched every episode. Might be worth avoiding the OT until I've seen each episode twice since I'm sure people will be dissecting each episode and pointing out the subtler jokes that are often only caught on rewatches.

I'd imagine Hurwitz requested more episodes and Netflix OK'ed it. I don't think it'd be the other way around.

This may be kinda rote but I found season 3 much funnier on a second watch, they set all the Rita stuff up so early.

Agreed. I can't not see it now, even though I couldn't see it coming the first time. Dat accent.
Edit- Although I'll agree it was probably the show's low point, it wasn't bad. Just rushed. Although, it may be tied with the Nellie stuff in that department, that was even more rushed.

True. Other than Seinfeld, I've never laughed this much at a show.
I'll agree but only because of her accent. Unbearable.

yes, these are good. also snuff box, there's full ep's on youtube and netflix so check it. the league has its moments as well.
in season 4 we finally meet Jorge, distant son of George Sr. Jorge (played by Will Arnett in a mustache) is a rich businessman in mexico who largely profited off selling...you guessed it, cornballers. On the black market of course, they're not legal anywhere.

I never knew people didn't like S3 until after the show was cancelled. I like it better than S2.
Oh fuck no. I swear some scenes it was like the actors weren't even into it that much. 1 and 2 are far better to me.

3 went way overboard with the explicit "Tobias is gay" jokes. Like, at least three per episode and they were all more overt. Poor writing there.

Yeah I still really enjoyed season 3. I thought it produced some of the best moments. I loved Mock Trial with J. Reinhold and the William Hung Jury!

One of my favorite episodes of the entire show
I love Season 3, but I'll admit it isn't quite as good as 1 or 2.

Tell him you want to see him in only cutoffs.
Also, I had no idea about this, but apparently the writers planned to introduce that either Tobias' mother or father is black.
You can see it in "The Man Inside Me" cover: http://i.imgur.com/2ucLX.jpg
And there are jokes made about it like when Lindsay says "When someone hears the name Tobias they think of a big black guy" and Tobias says "Well, I'm not a big guy..."
Lucille refers to Tobias as a "colored" man (when painted blue).
Lindsay also says to Maeby, "I don't know where you get your hair from" in reference to her frizzy hair.
I don't know how common knowledge that is, but I audibly said "Ohhhhhhhhh" when I read that.
I never understood that "Well, I'm not a big guy" comment.Yeah Maeby's actress revealed it as fact awhile back.

"They hear the name 'Tobias' and they think 'big black man.'"
"Well I'm certainly not a big man."

Yeah season three doesn't get as many laughs as the other seasons for me, but it still has some of the best moments in the series. The not-so-subtle desperation about the show's cancellation.

Season 3 had The Ocean Walker, the ending of which is probably the absolute apex for me in the entire show.
Yes, the third season was inconsistent. That's what happens when your episode order is suddenly shredded. But it still had some absolute gems.
