The final four episodes are just begging to be rewatched - what with all the hints towards Lindsay’s adoption in the earlier ones. I haven’t been craving AD reruns so much lately, but that’s probably because I never stopped watching the show on a regular basis anyway (though it has decreased - it’s gone from 2-3 episodes a day to about 4 episodes a week now Sad ).

Yeah, it was incredibly overwhelming watching them all at once. I reaaally need to watch the final 4 again but I’m saving myself for when the dvd’s come out (don’t ask why, I’m just insane)


My friend and Iwatched all of season 2 in one go. It was one of the most fantatic 6 hours of my life but a day later I realised that it had all melted into itself and become on long ep.

Reruns - lather, rinse, repeat.

So, more new credit music - this episode’s credits featured the catchy middle eastern tune that played several times throughout this episode (eg. when Michael and Buster first arrive in Iraq, the start of Gob’s magic show, when the Bluths get to the model home, etc.). Out of all the Season 3 songs, this is the one I’ve wanted the most, so if someone (eg. Wired Razz ) could upload this, I’d really appreciate it. Smile

Yeah its great music and I think it closely resembles the original theme music (listen closely). I hear the same tune but with different instruments and it sounds excellent.

I whipped up a tiny webpage with all the credit music links on it: http://members.optusnet.com.au/wired_man/arrested.htm including AD_312-Exit_Strategy_Credit_Music.mp2, get it like a frozen banana on a hot day.

#142 Beamer wrote on July 12, 2006:

YES!!! Thank you so much for that. And yes, I do hear a resemblance to the theme music, too. That might very well be my favourite piece of music in the show, I know I had it stuck in my head for days the first time I saw the episode. Smile

EDIT: On a side note - hurrah, 1000 posts! Prepare the banner, people!

"Beamer love post"

Now I’m sad that theres only one more ep left for Seven to show, even though I’ve already seen them and they’re on at a crap timeslot.

Although on the other hand I finally got the season 2 DVD (I should be ashamed leaving it this long).

Mine was better.

Well, one plus about the show’s cancellation - this storyline wouldn’t have been quite the same if they’d have done it after Saddam’s execution...
