    Charlize Theron is simply incredible

    I have to say, this would have been just another Arrested Development 6 or 7 star episode, but the dynamic that Charlize Theron as Rita brings to the episode...it's just tops! Not only we get the usual humor from AD, but the delivery of the jokes that they wrote for her is just so incredible, unexpected and just made me burst with laughter. The way she speaks "night, night" and jumps in bed, her laugh when she paddles Michael...she's just the cherry on the top.

    Now as for the story about her being mentally retarded...well, let's just say it's good that they kept it to one episode. I feel like this wasn't something they could really get anything out of.
