Arrested Development (2003-2019): Season 1, Episode 1 Moments - Part 1

[anneslovegood]

every time I rewatch arrested development I’m always reminded of how clever the show was. I always notice something new each time so it almost feels like I’m watching the show for the first time again

[artemis-fowled]

Honestly one of my favorite parts of arrested development—and something I wished we had more of—is the relationship between Maeby and Gob.

See the thing is, they’re so similar! They have their schemes, theyre liars, arguably the most chaotic members of the Bluth family, and they’re also often the forgotten/overlooked child. (Also some flavor of gay- bi maeby truther)

But it’s more than that! My favorite part of the last two seasons is obviously the Blunder but what I also loved is how the narrative was now widened and following the different members of the family.

We got to see what Gob gets up to when he’s away from his family, when in the previous seasons it wasn’t always clear/the family didn’t know and didn’t want to know

And sometimes I really wish we had some of that in the earlier seasons if only so I could see all the Maeby and Gob interactions that go on unnoticed. I mean. Gob knows about Maeby’s job making movies. ("uncle gob?" *gob pauses in trying to throw a sick cat overboard/hiding from said cat* "maeby?") And, he voiced (or rather Will Arnett did) the voice over for a Gangie movie.

During the inner beauty contest/pageant Gob is the one who recognizes Maeby and asks her who her favorite family member is (a friend of mine theorized that question was asked without him knowing it was Maeby and he’s just a dumbass like that, which I agree he would be a dumbass like that but I have to believe he recognized her)

And idk, I just really love the dynamic they got going. They’re so similar and chaotic and I would have loved to see some uncle-niece shenanigans.

(That being said I also loved uncle-nephew shenanigans and I miss the George Michael and Gob interactions too. George Michael being awed by Gob’s magic was so sincere and beloved by me)

Sometimes a family is an embezzler who built houses for Saddam Hussein, an alcoholic who can't read medicine labels, a former golden child who never gets around to leaving the family, a phony activist who is actually four years older than everyone thinks and also her own aunt, a worm man with chronic anxiety and an oedipous complex, a gay magician who's straight but gay but no he isn't yes he is, a boy who's main personality trait is being horny for his cousin, a fifteen year old Hollywood producer, a failed lemon salesman, the gay magician's bastard exterminator son, a woman no one ever bothers to recognise, a boy adopted from Korea who swore revenge for how badly he was treated, another gay magician, a congresswoman who has hid her alopecia her entire life and will well into the next, and the other gay magician's bastard son

And also tobias is there sometimes

Propaganda under the cut.

Maeby Funke:

Well she has pretended to be an old woman to get free accomedation in an old folks home, developed a company her cousin made up and that doesn't ecist before selling it for 3 million dollars to her uncle, faked having a dying twin to get money and about 50 othet illegal but really cool things.

GLaDOS/Caroline:

you know her you love her!!!!! tumblr's favorite unethical mad scientist robot lesbian! you can't have a poll like this without her

neurotoxin :)

I have no energy to write propaganda I’m sorry but she deserves this!!!! She’s the antagonist of all time. She’s funny and smart and passive aggressive and lying to your face. She’s filling the room with neurotoxin. She’s still alive.

FUCK I FORGOT ABOUT MY GIRL. Anyways Glados did nothing wrong.

Constantly mean to Chell, in love with Chell, tries to murder Chell, saves Chell's life, helps Chell, hinders Chell, is a potato, used to be a secretary before being forced to upload her consciousness into a personality sphere, floods the facility with deadly neurotoxin, is a sexy robot... need I say more?

OK SO she killed all those people BUT they confined her to an immortal hell as a digital being so like??? deserved. it's implied she may have hated Cave and some cut dialogue even suggests she was forced into GLADOS against her will. she was just getting her revenge what's so wrong with that!!!!
