Is it relevant to mention in the episode Trivia segment of the article for For British Eyes Only (season 3, episode 2) that, certainly last time I watched it, Netflix's automatic 'skip intro' function when binge watching, skips the 'previously on' segment which creates a notable gap in the narrative, with us cutting straight from George, still on the run, having stolen the cabin (and Michael and George Michael) and cutting straight to George on house arrest, It always confused me until I figured out the issues.

I forgot about writing this, sometimes I hate the way my brain works.
If you're asking about how come Micheal and Mabey didn't figure out that the program was fake, they have specializations that they are good at, for Micheal it's architecture, for Mabey it's lying, neither are computer experts, so they wouldn't recognize that he was making it up.
To my knowledge the only person other than George Michael who knows the truth of Fakeblock is P-Hound. After all the Fakeblock lie started because of George Michael not wanting to admit to Michael that he didn't like him living in the dorm.
The Bluths could benefit, there is motive, but do they have means, quite a few of them were seen during the blowback, but Sally wasn't. I'd say George Michael, Lindsey and Tobias are safe the former 2 where on stage at the time while the later was on a boat right?
Yeah but Tobias also had a role (though Debrie seems to be okay (ish) in season 5)
George Michael - He claims not to know who Lucille 2 is but they were at a party together, where someone told George Michael Buster was her nurse. This party occoured in early season 1 and he never interacted with her again, meanwhile George Michael went through a lot of events in the 3-4 seasons between these events. Do you remeber people whose life untersected yours once, years ago. I don't remeber my classmates from 5 years ago and we saw eachother every weekday for 5 years, excluding holidays.
Buster - Watch any murder mystery show, Murder She Wrote, Diagnosis Murder, Ironside, when is it ever the guy that got arrested for the crime first? Also Buster is the only Bluth left who is morraly sound, with Michael and George Michael having gone darker, Buster is still relatively kind, not wanting to be a Monster, just wanting someone to love him.
Considering the way she was immediatly repainting the stair car, I'd keep you eyes on Sally Sitwell, she's clearly more sinister than we ever guessed.

If we think about it Annoymous may end up saving George Micheal from his own lies. If they threaten him he could use that as an excuse to shut down Fakeblock without admitting that it was a Lie, selling his assets to pay back his investors.

True but she was at least trying to recover only for Tobias to keep pulling her into situations where she wound up relapsing. If Tobias hadn't been around she may have been able tot recover.

In the same episode, when Lindsay was in Indaia - Lindsay she told the Sharman that she didn't have any children and she then began to flirt with him (or so she thought).
I know. I don't think Lindsay intentionally made that suggestion, it's just me overthinking everything, trust me that's a big issue for me.

It may just be me but I noted something while they were at the Estate Agent in Indian Takers.
Lindsey initially denied having children and then, while talking about payment plans and how they didn't really have any prospects is when she backtracks and say "We do have a Daughter." Think about that for a second.
Yeah.
While it's not intentional it does offer the unfortunate implication that the Funkes would be willing to use Mabey as a prostitute to pay for the house.
The reason it's also Ironic Foreshadowing is because while Lindsey unitentionally implied that she would use Mabey that way, later in the series Mabey became Lindsey's pimp.
Yeah I may be thinking too much into this.

Honestly without eachother to lean on all the Bluths slowly decline, I don't think anyone comes off good in season 4, DeBrie is just one of several Bluth victims from season 4.Even George Michael, previously a good kid, y'know other than the whole incesty crush on Mabey, ends the series a fraud.

There isn't a comments section in the article but the list of evidence for the 'Is Lindsey a True Bluth' Is all personality traits. Personality is based on nurture not nature. She acts like George, Luciele and all the others because she was raised by them. We all emulate the people around us, for example me and my stepbrother are autisitc and as a result my little sister, who isn't, has occasionally exibited simmilar behaviour.

It may be weird that my mind went to this but when I learnt about Lindsey's age in S3 (I only watched the show on netflix about a year or 2 ago) A bit of fridge horror emerged for me about Lindsey.
I don't know if the age of consent is 18 or 21 in California but if Lindsey belived herself to be 3 years younger than she was, and everyone else thinking it as well, isn't she likely to have commited staratory rape. If the age of consent is 18 then she reached it at age 15, and so any physical relationships she was in untill age 18 (actually 21) technically qualified as such, it's even worse if the age of consent is 21 because such relationships are far mor likely for 18 year olds than 15 year olds.
Again, I'm aware it's a weird thing to think of, but I dont know, I had to put it out there and see what people thought about it.

I was just going off what George Michael says in "The Ocean Walker":
George Michael: Well, I’ve been thinking. You know, I mean, every society has their own rules about this stuff. For instance, in some states, it’s legal to marry your own cousin. California’s blocked it twice, but that’s only because they tacked it onto an estate law thing that wasn’t gonna pass. We had the signatures...
Michael: You’re 16, and you know all that. She’s 30 and a half. She probably can’t list the seven Houses of Parliament.
From "The Ocean Walker"
In the same scene to be fair they, for the second time in the episode say there are 3 houses of parliment, there are only 2.
Also George Michael said it was blocked twice, it is possible that then a 3rd time it got through, particularly considering George Michael trails off and Michael returns to focusing on his own issues with Rita.
Particularly considering the revelation of the full details of the Rebel Ally love triangle, his FakeBlock disaster doomed to collapse and the family rumoured to be coming back togeather it's possible that the George Michael/Mabey spark may come back, we'll just have to wait and see.

Intrestingly Mabey sleeping with an underage boy while he belived she was a highschooler is simmilar to any relationships Lindsey had between ages 15 and 18 (when she was really between 18 and 21), although in Lindsey's case she thought she was a highschooler, while Mabey thought the underage boy was a legal adult. The parrells are both cases have both parties belive it's okay because both parties think they are the right age legally.

While it may be connected to the Bible I think at least I can figure out why Pete said it. If you think about it Pete has seen Michael trapped in this ghost town, all alone and so tries to impart this advice to the man as he dies, trying to save him from falling apart without his only human contact. Indeed it works at first, Michael tries to reconnect with George Michael, only he does it wrong, certainly the Bluths isolating themselves from eachother and failing to Love Each Other has led them down dark paths, hopefully season 5 will see them figure this out, that without eachother they have nothing.
