That's more like it. Since Sony insisted that YNB was on board for the entire season, I wonder if this means Allison Brie could be leaving in spite of Dan Harmon and Yahoo's assurances to the contrary.

It sounds like she was on board, but her dad took a turn that required too much time for her to balance, and Harmon was happy to let her out of the contract. She's still doing The Odd Couple because its a bit part so they don't need to use her nearly as much as a full-time shooting schedule. Unless Brie has a deeply personal reason for wanting to leave, or shows Harmon the Little Mermaid eyes and guilts him into releasing her, she's legally bound to the show whether she wants to or not.

I guess so. And Donald Glover just wanted to focus on his rap career/be on his own. But unless I'm mistaken, YNB had a contract with Sony, not Dan Harmon. My point, however, was that 1) everyone's "legally bound" until they aren't, and 2) When Sony/Yahoo/Dan Harmon says that a certain actor will return for season 6, that might just be wishful thinking rather than certain knowledge.

That is a pretty sneaky way of luring Brown out of her contract. I'm talking about her father, ya know, deciding to let his health take a turn for the worse. It's a completely reasonable reason to leave the show, and probably not something that was a factor going into the beginnings of season six. She's always been a very vocal supporter of the show, and it took something sudden and severe to cause her to leave.

Eh, I don't give you credit. For one thing, you're Irish Joe. For another, it wasn't because of the weird compulsion you have with imagining that everyone on the show hates Harmon, it was because of something understandable like family, and it was on good terms.

BTW, I think you want everyone to hate Harmon because I think you think you're very much like Harmon, and secretly want everyone to hate him as some kind of weird validation for your general trollishness. That also could be really stupid armchair psychological speculation on my part, too, so take it as you will.

Given the lengths that they went to to get Pierce one, I wouldn't be surprised if she does get one. She clearly has a great deal of love for the show and Harmon, I'm sure they could work something out for one scene or so.

The finale slowly zooms out from Abed as it reveals Greendale was inside of a snow globe Abed was looking at, and it all happened in his head. Before the credits roll, Jeff passes him up, without even acknowledging him.
The movie is Abed trying to unite the group that never existed.

My prediction for Community looks to be coming true.

SIR FAT JONY IVES posted:

They could save a ton of money by just employing Joel and Allison. The rest of the characters could just be cardboard cut outs on roller skates that they pull into and out of the frame with word bubbles above their head. Shirley's can just say "That's nice", Abeds would just be a link to a TV Tropes page (it could actually function as a link in Yahoo's player), and Britta's would just be blank because they have no idea where to take her character.

The actual episodes would just be Jeff and Annie sitting across from a table making googly-eyes at each other for twenty minutes in silence. A guest star would shuffle in the frame at 11 minutes, tell a joke, and then leave.

Yvette Nicole Brown was such a great part of Community. It takes a good actress to take small pieces of an episode and make them really work. I'll miss her dynamic on the show but she's got a great reason to leave.

I could totally see Harmon doing this.

Although more likely would be Abed staring at a Greendale snow globe autistically and then they pull further back and Jeff is like 'Oh, you got one of the new Snow Globes from the gift shop?' and they're in the Study Room as normal.

Man, they're really gonna need to get either Donglover or someobody else to fill in a fifth slot in the group now that Brown's gone.

I mean the group dynamic for the current "Greendale Four" is Jeff, Britta, Abed, and Annie. Two people with perpetually unresolved sexual tension, as well as an autistic nerd and an over-achiever who are roommates. (And don't make a joke about Sherley being under-used)

This just feels a little bit anemic, especially since the dynamics worked in several directions. Community has always found a kind of dynamism by taking advantage of how varied these relationships were; you could pair Jeff and Peirce for daddy issues, or Troy, Abed, and Annie for a series of misadventures, even Sherley and Britta for the Odd-Couple.

Now half of the relationships will be based around whether or not they have feelings for Jeff, or people dealing with Abed being Abed.

I really hope that they do some inspired casting, or somehow manage to get Troy back into the group; for some reason he was able to have chemistry with almost every single cast-member possible. I heard that they won't be able to get John Oliver back, or Johnathan Banks; and having the Dean or Chang join the group means that we're more likely to get an over-dose of their gimmicks quickly.
