Ditto. Which sucks.

My feeling is this:
I watched the show from the beginning. After about three episodes, I knew it was on ratings life support. I vowed to savor each episode as though it would be the last, and I never expected it to run the full season, let alone be renewed.
So the last two seasons were a bonus. 
The one thing missing was a family wide Chicken Dance.
More or less, yeah. I found that I enjoyed the show more when I wasn’t worrying about whether it was going to get cancelled or not. If the show survives past this year, it’ll be a bonus.
We had one earlier this season (either this one or last one, I don’t recall). We can’t get too spoiled with another one ;).
I thinbk they just made a mistake about George-Michael being fifteen–in the second-to-last episode Michael tosses him the car car keys and tells him to take the stair car home, alone. Michael definitely would not allow GM to drive home without a license, and in Calif. you need to be 16 to get one.
If George-Michael also drove the stair car with Maeby in it, he would have been breaking the law as 16-year olds can’t carry minors as passengers unless an adult is in the car.
Best I can tell, the Michael as Robot reference refered to the 1/2/06 episode, in which Lindsay wants to send Maeby to a touchy-feely school without grades. Michael doesn’t like this concept.
Lindsay: Yeah, like you could ever have a real emotion.
GOB: The boy who couldn’t cry.
Buster: He’s a robot! (As his hand falls off)
Tobias: He’s like the steel man from the Wizard of Oz.
The Korean man came up with the idea for frozen bananas, but the Bluths had better marketing for it. Note that the Korean man had a simple ice cream cart, with the ad “Frozen delicious brown treat.”
At the end of the scene with George Michael looking for Ann at the Veal’s house, and not wanting to talk to the crazy uncle, did a kid with curly black hair come running out the door as the old man was about to close it? Like he was escaping?
Yes.
What was that all about, though?
I thought it was just some kid who got dragged in to a discussion of how the jews planted fossils in the 1920’s.
N. Bluth – I didn’t get that until I read Happy’s post.
I loved Tambor’s performance as Oscar again – even without the hair you immediately knew it was him on the boat.
One thing that hasn’t been mentioned – When Tobias was in bed with Michael, he had his head resting on his chin in exactly the same position as George Michael does in a picture on the nightstand. Which suggests to me that Tobias and George Michael might be related.

I think it was as simple as the kid seeing an opportunity to get the hell out, and he ran. Good for him.
I really wish they hasn’t run commercials for all the horrible replacement sitcoms during the finale. Does anyone think one of those will survive half a season?
If the show is over, are there any threads that were left open?
I still wanted to know more about Michael’s late wife.
One of my favorite lines that nobody’s mentioned yet (unless I missed it) was from the Saddam Hussein impersonator (paraphrased): “But forgive me - I’m acting like an Uday impersonator!”. I also liked Tobias’s “Oh, we were all probably too hopped up on amyl and disco…”. Great series ending.
Honestly, my opinion?
I think the picture was there as nothing more than mere set decoration. No meaning in it at all. When Cross was propped up to talk to Bateman, the director (or someone on the set) said “Hey David, put your chin on your fist, just like in the picture!” Just some goofy visual alliteration. No meaning behind it at all.
IMHO.
STEVE HOLT!
That’s probably all it was. But it did remind me of the kid from MotherBoy trying to run away with Michael and Buster during MotherBoy XXX.
They left Buster in the middle of the ocean!
They never did find Buster’s hand so it could be reattached.
I was very glad they didn’t do that. It would’ve been ridiculous for the hand to be usable even a week later.
I guess they also never resolved what will become of Lindsay and Tobias’s marriage - if that’s resolvable at all.
