It's a good show and all, but it's remarkable how much worse everything would have been without elevator guy. He saved the rape episode and probably the season.

I wonder how long it'll be until the writers finally get to drop in a Forrest Gump reference....

Scene: the elevator.
CAPTAIN MERCER: Oh, hi, Kelly.

COMMANDER GRAYSON: Hey there. Crazy mission last week, huh? Eighty's reference, beat, non-sequitur zinger.

MERCER: Yeah. Say, the music in the elevator is pretty snappy today. I've been riding up and down just to listen to it. Who was it who set this up? I want to give them a commendation.

GRAYSON: Lieutenant Dann. But, he got transferred to the Wilbur last month, remember?

MERCER: Oh. Well... uhm, good job, and... that's all I have to say about that.

I'm rewatching and in the Charlize Theron episode they are shocked at her being able to teleport, but in the zoo episode before that, Ed and Kelly had already been teleported.

Well, I mean, the zoo episode featured a hyper-advanced race, so seeing teleportation from a seemingly normal human should have surprised them.

Also the zoo guys had infrastructure to call on, whereas her teleporter either fit inside that tiny metal box, or was built into her - either would be pretty impressive even by Star Trek standards.

Either he is just being a dick about the fact that technically it's not officially renewed yet but obviously will be, or they really are cancelling his hit #1 show and the only reason they would is either if he wants to stop which he doesn't, or if he is being so impossible to work with that it's not worth it for the network to continue.

My coworker is a big fan of his, so I would like to know why he is such a jackass.

I mean, I find Harmon to be up his own rear end a lot and puerile in his humor but that is just personal preference thing.

Harmon is a really messed up guy who wears absolutely everything on his sleeve. He's been doing a two hour long weekly video podcast for several years now, and is usual completely drunk by the end of it. With that much content out there it's trivial for anyone to find an example of him saying something they don't like, which I guess is way worse than your average show runner who probably has worse opinions but keeps them to themselves.

While running Community he tried to pursue one of the writers working for him and made her job lovely for her, both before and after she turned him down. He talked about it on his podcast in what the woman in question later referred to as a 'masterclass in apology' but I understand that's still a deal breaker for a lot of people.

He made an oblique reference on Twitter to the fact that he sexually harassed a writer off of his TV show, said writer called him out on it and told him to loving own up to what he did, he petulantly refused and insisted that she go through the emotional trial of recounting the story before he accepted (or, potentially rejected!) her account of events.
