People who say season 3 of Arrested Development was bad season.
mattzakgoldmanstacks sent a link to a reddit thread where they discussed this scene.
In S01E10 “Pier Pressure” Buster is pulling out his Medical Marijuana binder from what we can assume are binders related to other ‘Studies’ that Buster has taken part in, and what we observe is a binder labeled:
“HEMISPHERECTOMY SURGERY”
A hemispherectomy is a very rare surgical procedure where one cerebral hemisphere (half of the brain) is removed or disabled.
Might this explain a lot about why Buster as an adult is still needing constant supervision…. among other things…
- “may suffer problems with their vision as well.”
- “Feeling tired or depressed.”
- “…you lose use of the hand opposite of the hemisphere that was removed.”
- Q: “What Risks Are Associated With a Functional Hemispherectomy?

Hurwitz shot more material than planned and also came up with ideas for additional scenes and storylines. Hurwitz, producing studio 20th Century Fox TV and Imagine TV approached Netflix, which agreed to expand the order to what will probably be 12-15 episodes.
