Isn’t it just to show that Lucille’s coldhearted and doesn’t really like ANY of her children? So they’re all ’least favourites’.

That’s why I said it was a Bluthism - she uses the term obviously wrong, especially when applied to GOB.

Yes, I realise that. I’m just explaining my take on the general concept, not the ins and outs of every detail.

This is my favortie episode! I love Dr. Miller I wish he came back. This episode is so detached from the rest of the season. It has a lot of good G.O.B. moments. Best Best Best EPISODE EVER. COME"ON

I’m sure all the other 3,999,999 viewers already noticed these things, but:
When Lindsay visits George Sr. in prison, he says "I use them to pay off the other guys to stop them from hollering obscenities at my... my little girl. But you keep coming back here, honey, and I’m going broke."
(He says little girl.....not daughter....get it?)
And when Lucille calls Michael her 3rd least favorite child, she’s really calling him her least favorite child.
I’m so good at noticing things months after the fact. And once I know the ending.

I think she was just saying that to Michael because she was temporarily so mad at him. But I would agree that most of the time GOB is her least favorite.

This episode really supports Development Arrested’s idea that Lucille is an evil mastermind. In this episode, she’s pure evil.

Can you please spoiler-tag that? Not everyone who reads these early episode threads has seen the later ones. Though you are right there. All the characters seemed a bit more exaggerated in this particular episode, anyway.
