Brilliant episode.
When they introduced this "For British Eyes Only" thing last week, I wondered if they were starting to reach as far as the season's storyline goes. But the humour isn't about the storyline- the plot is just an excuse for the well written comedic gold.
George Sr. flipping between the game and his wife on picture in picture had me keeling over. Buster gasping at Tobias' business card, the transcript of Lindsay's phone call with Bobblahblah, Lucille mistaking a girlfriend of Michael's as a maid, oh man. So many laughs.
Didn't know season2 comes out so soon. Will have to pick that up.
Charlize Theron's character is a bit weird, and she seems a bit spaced, but yeah, she's almost an afterthought with all the other bits in the last two episodes. Long live AD!!
Also- did anyone catch the part where Michael mentioned the term "Arrested Development" and the narrator cut in saying "Hey, that's the name of the show!" After that Michael continues with his conversation, arguing that one of societies biggest problems is its weak attention span and how people don't pay attention to detail, or something like that anyway. A jab at all the haters, and people who just don't "get" the show! Another zinger from left field. Man I love this show.
