Granted, Michael has some legitimate reasons to be distracted: He has volunteered to read a very long plea bargain offered to the Bluths by the prosecution — requiring a response in 24 hours — after learning Barry Zuckerkorn has failed to do so.
As is often the case with Michael, he finds himself in this predicament out of pride; his adamance about reading the plea himself stems from his deep-seated desire to be a lawyer, which dates back to a tenth grade play.
Public Relations , for example, had him gradually working up the nerve to flirt, while being hesitant to take things further, suggesting that Michael from earlier in the season may not have made the same decision to go home with Maggie. How can something be no less than three if it exceeds six? I mean, six is still more than three, right? Gob continues to give amoral advice throughout the episode. All the while, Gob has neglected to follow his own advice in the first place, having married a complete stranger overnight; the culmination of an escalating series of dares.
And so, Gob finds himself uncharacteristically sticking around out of sheer pride, while failing to make any progress on his initial objective, much like Michael and the plea bargain.
Like his son, George Sr. Cindi Lightballoon the undercover agent introduced in Shock and Aww comes clean about her true identity, revealing that, while she was initially posing as an adoring fan, she has now genuinely fallen for George Sr.
I know this for a fact. George Sr. No installment of Arrested Development is ever exempt from serialization, but here, this element of the show is predominantly confined to the sub-plots. While Maggie has a lot of Bluth-esque traits herself, she probably has more in common with Maeby than any other family member, and this episode makes that very apparent. George Michael is initially called upon by Tobias and Lindsay who unfortunately have little else to do in Altar Egos outside of this scene to tutor their daughter.
Morality becomes a major theme in part two, and unbeknownst to Michael and George Michael, they each find themselves in similar moral conundrums going into the next episode. Much of this season and indeed, the series sees Michael placed in moral dilemmas, consciously trying — and often struggling — to do the right thing, or at least be a better person than the rest of his family.
While the Surely subplot is largely left in the air here, we do see Michael eventually making a choice on how to proceed with Maggie. Maybe more. Because that makes me want to read it all the less. GOB: These are lawyers. Chareth Cutestory. Enjoy the bucks. Even in the sober light of morning, it still takes Michael a while to register that Maggie is blind:. This is not what it looks like. GOB: You should have stayed with me last night. You could have seen me get some major action from a major blonde.
Who just majored in marine biology, if you know what I mean. GOB: Well, I screwed up. I kind of broke a couple of my own rules last night. GOB: Well, she was a darer. GOB: I needed a dare! Gob goes to consummate his marriage:. GOB: Did you say seals? God, do you ever listen to what I say? Sometimes I just like to think… Think my thoughts. GOB: Yes, I did. One night stand, please! Michael attempts to describe the park to Maggie while covertly reading the plea deal:.
I have faith my prayers will free you. In the sixteenth episode of the first season of Arrested Development, "Altar Egos," we see young Michael Bluth as a lawyer in a play and again later in the tenth episode of season three, "Fakin' It" :. Logic suggests they wouldn't set up a shot that elaborate for about nine seconds of a joke, but maybe they would.
Is there any additional footage of this play beyond what we see in these two episodes? Here, Peter pan is bumping into the seal of the court while flying, Buster calling out about the newly dislodged "Loose seal" and then Lucille being oblivious to this development mistakenly believing Buster is calling her for attention.
It is unclear whether this is new footage on a recreated set or if it is previously unaired footage. I speculate that the courtroom and play was older, previously un-aired footage edited in with new, original reaction scenes with Kristin Wiig.
As far as I can tell there is no more footage. It is possible that a little more footage was shot than actually aired, however, your logic that they wouldn't set up a shot like that for a few seconds of footage is not really true.
Arrested Development was notorious for having high ambitions and being an expensive show to film that's part of the reason it was cancelled. Sign up to join this community.
