What I was really asking was, will there be a "We're in Colorado, where weed is now legal" episode, or would that be too controversial?

If you're the kind of person who didn't care for season 3 you might not be crazy about it, but it's miles better than 4.

I watched a couple of episodes of 4 but for the most part decided not to bother with it. I thought Season 3 had problems but also some of the best episodes in the show, it was just really inconsistent. At this point I'd gladly take another Season 3 though. It's kind of funny how the fanbase for Community during S1 and S2 was one of the most vocal I have ever seen in my life and a lot of it is at the "eh I guess I'll watch it" phase by now. Also I don't know what the show is gonna be like without Donglover.

I feel like this season is very close to season 3 in tone and story-telling approach, except that the characters always seem in-character even at the most wacky or cartoony moments. Whereas in season 3 they would sometimes say/do things for the sake of a one-liner, fan-service moment, or parody joke that didn't quite feel right coming from their established personalities (especially Chang). Like how the characterizations in Family Guy change constantly depending on whatever gag is going on that moment- none of that here, anymore.

At times i season three it felt like the show was trying to be a live action cartoon in that sense. This season has honestly been reminding me a little more of season two - a good example is when the entire table briefly talk about how they love announcements and prove Britta's point they;re ignoring a wider issue. I think it may be because it's funny, in character, and a really small moment. Those are the kind of jokes I felt filled season two.

There's a bunch of behind-the-scenes photos and tweets from Tim Saccardo here. My favorite bits are the cut Magnitude joke and this brainstorm of ideas for the game (I really wish the dog stuff had made it in). E: I'm not ready to make any judgments about this season versus Season 3 because it's not over yet, but I will say this season hasn't had any dead weight thus far. I liked the first few episodes of 3 but they weren't the strongest episodes that season. If we can get a season with all the great humor of Season 3 without sacrificing characters or having a too many misfires, that would be the best possible outcome.

I liked what they did with the idea though admittedly I probably liked the idea of the episode more than I laughed out loud. By now we're so used to the Total Conversion Mod episode that it's not the shock to the system that Modern Warfare was. This is hardly Call of Duty: Ghosts though  For me the western episode was more forgettable in that regard. Other than the dude from Lost or whatever show being a cowboy dude I couldn't be hosed to remember much else unless I watch it again

Leonard had an absolutely brilliant line in this episode: "Cirque-du-so-Long you high flying acro-bastards!" Also that ending was great, Troy got an excellent send off and Britta really is the best.

Error 404 posted:It's a stupid TVTropes thing. No it isn't, it's a writing term. It's also referenced in the 100th episode of Stargate: SG-1, Wormhole X-Treme!, which aired several years before TVTropes existed. (It was driving me crazy trying to remember what it was that it was referenced in, I'm pretty sure that was it.) thexerox123 fucked around with this message at 17:59 on Jan 27, 2014 |

It's important to remember that just because TV Tropes has a section for a term and 8,000 "examples" of it from anime doesn't mean they invented the term.

thexerox123 posted:(It was driving me crazy trying to remember what it was that it was referenced in, I'm pretty sure that was it.) To be pedantic they referred to it as "hanging a lantern" on it (the context was, I think, how the team managed to escape from an enemy base, and the writer saying they could simply have someone say, "that was easier than I expected" rather than write out a complicated and expensive scene.) I think that using the term "lampshading" instead of "hanging a lantern" is more from the Whedon side of things. But the concept is the same: If you have one of the characters recognize, in story, that something is absurd, it makes it easier for the audience to accept it. The shittiest lampshading example I can think of was in the Justin Timberlake turd "In Time," where, instead of detailing how society somehow changed to the bizarre system they used in the movie, he simply explains, in an insipid opening narrative, "it is what it is." The moral: lampshading is not always successful. It's a tool like any other, not a panacea for struggling writers. ashpanash fucked around with this message at 18:40 on Jan 27, 2014 |

Fair enough! And I think I was wrong about the episode, too, it was 200, not Wormhole X-Treme!.

I'm currently rewatching season 2 and I'm not going to start an argument AGAIN about which season was the best, but drat, season 2 is good television. Just finished Abed's uncontrollable Christmas and there wasn't a single episode I felt like skipping, not even the religious documentary one ("ABED").
