Just a crazy Arrested Development theory (Season 4 Spoilers)Not sure exactly what episode this spoils up to, so consider it for the entire season to be safe.
In S4E4, Michael is describing the project him and Ron Howard are working on to Warden Gentiles. He says the following:
"It's basically a story about a fellow like myself, and his father, and their friend Carl Weathers."
And a minute later, talking to Andy Richter, he says, "There's more to it than that. It's about a young man trying to get out from under his domineering father while dealing with the slow death of his wife."
Now, all that sounds like the movie is focusing on Michael and his relationship with the rest of his family. And it likely is. But let's... Just a crazy Arrested Development theory (Season 4 Spoilers)Not sure exactly what episode this spoils up to, so consider it for the entire season to be safe.
In S4E4, Michael is describing the project him and Ron Howard are working on to Warden Gentiles. He says the following:

Now, all that sounds like the movie is focusing on Michael and his relationship with the rest of his family. And it likely is. But let's take another look.Later in that episode, Howard mentions that the father-son relationship that the movie is focusing on is between Michael and his son, George Michael. Well, what if the movie Michael was describing wasn't the one he was making with Howard, but in fact the same show he was acting in at the time (AD, Season 4)? Or maybe even an AD movie planned for after S4. So let's try to apply Michael's description as if George Michael was the main character.
"It's basically a story about a fellow like myself, and his father, and their friend Carl Weathers."
Well Michael did keep banging on in S4E1 about how similar he and his son were, right? Hmm.
"There's more to it than that. It's about a young man trying to get out from under his domineering father while dealing with the slow death of his wife."
It's certainly arguable that Michael has been domineering over George Michael and that GM is fighting that. But we run into a snag. How is GM dealing with the slow death of his wife?
But, wait... He got married to Maeby in S3E11. As far as we know, they're still married. There's no mention of a divorce or annulment in any episode in any season.
So, does that mean.... Maeby is dying? Surely not...
