Well I've just finished it. I can't decide if binging on it helped (because of each of the jokes being fresh in my mind to recognise) or hindered (fatigue) my enjoyment of it.


Might end up putting a couple of spoilers here while I ramble a bit so just in case...

SPOILER: show

On the whole it's a really complex project they've gone for here with so many twists and turns to take in and so many hidden references between episodes and jumbled storytelling. I'm probably gonna have to re-watch it all at some point in the future to get the whole story down in my head chronologically, there's still a couple of things where I'm not even sure what happened.

The wrapping up of the whole plot was a bit of a let down in my opinion. There wasn't really a huge payoff with the whole Cinco de Quatro festival. It was a bit all over the place, and the ending with Michael and George Michael was almost depressing. Not really sure what I was expecting though, but I'm a huge sucker for finale's of seasons/series' that I dunno, was kinda wanting some sort of nice ending or something.

Having complained a fair bit there though, when the jokes were on they were really on. I think RoXer hit the nail on the head earlier on in the thread about some of the dialogue dragging on a bit, and there were a few jokes that happened with, but all the nods back to previous running jokes plus the creation of new ones in this season were great. As well as some of the usual great one liners. GOB's wedding was probably the highlight of the whole thing for me.

GOB's episodes in general were by far the highlights for me actually. Tobias' story was the usual crazy Tobias antics and that was pretty fun. I'm guessing Tony Hale wasn't really available to film all that much cause he was pretty much absent for like the first 10 episodes bar the odd scene, but I think that worked in favour for his episode since it was just the same Buster stuff as in the past, so it didn't seem overdone throughtout all the episodes. Lucille was fun as usual, George had his moments but I thought his episodes were probably the ones that dragged the most for me. Lindsay, George Michael and Maeby were all still spot on with their characters and their stories were fine. I did like the reveal of the real "FakeBlock" thing after so many hours of it seeming like such a huge deal.



So yeah, dunno, kinda jumbled thoughts for the most part. Enjoyed it a bunch, but I'm definitely gonna have to re-watch it all again at some point for the full effect of some of the jokes.
