This is a continuation thread, the old thread is [split]272518[/split]
The only other low that kinda disappointed was what they did with Michael. Michael was the doorway for the audience, he was the glue, the rock, the one out of all of them that we could connect with and lead us through this family of crazy. And since they did this new format, they had to give Michael something more to do. Which really I think they took him to a dark place, and I did not care for that with Michael, he is suppose to be the one light in this dark dark family. He was slightly unlikable, (not fault to Jason) but just that they should in the next season have him be the central hub that brings them all together (no pun intended). That's what Michael is best at. He needs to kinda redeem himself if they do a season 5.
Rewatching this season, I'm wondering if they're going to at some point implicate Michael murdering Lucille Austero, since he definitely didn't sleep with her, was incredibly drunk, the narrator says he did "something unthinkable" and was "looking for a place to hide," washing his hands (of the blood?) and thanks to GOB he no longer remembers the previous evening. Owing $700,000 makes for a much better motive than Buster's.
I mean, I doubt that this happened, most likely Lucille 2's not even dead and the "blood" is one of the Cinco de Quatro drinks or something.
Michael only seems like the only sane man. He's definitely the most tightly wound and narcissistic of all of them and is almost as controlling and manipulative with his son as his father was towards him. Watch any of the previous three seasons more than one episode at a time and Michael's flaws will begin to surface. He only comes across as "normal" by comparison, although I agree his son has a really good influence on him (he at least puts George Michael's best interest as his guiding star most of the time, even if he's unclear on what that should be)

Well I've been watching the show since season 2 so lol I've seen them a lot. He does have flaws, he is narcissistic for sure. But in the end he does try his best to be the better person and be normal. And the others (I will agree GM is a good influence) but Michael is still the rock within that family. And that's one thing that was just missing from this.

im watching this for the first time..i want to rewatch it to see if every single line tobias makes is a gay innuendo.
one of the best characters ever
But I think it is actually a natural progression for Michael. Michael is a Bluth. Throughout the series he has shown many Bluth-ish flaws. He was the rock in order to hold the family together. But at the end of season 3, he finally made the choice to stop being that rock. This is the result. Especially when the one person reigning in his Bluth instincts (his son) went away to college. Michael needs to be needed. Michael needs his family as much as they need him. This season has really explored what happens to Michael without them.
just watched GOB's episode. HILARIOUS! is the guy that played Steve Holt in that episode the same actor from the first 3 seasons?
because if it is, then damn he looks way different
