I feel really good about my relatively arbitrary decision to stop watching Community during the third season. I adored it but I think I moved on at the right time for me, everything I've heard about later seasons makes it seem like I went out at just the right time.

Justin Lin directed a couple of episodes. Watch those. I will never not laugh at Dean's rap.

Big Mean Jerk posted:I rewatched all of Community this past week and a half and I enjoyed it more than I expected. The first two seasons really hold up and are genuinely great, but three and four are just gimmick after gimmick and it gets super old before culminating in the abysmal season five. Six is alright though, I like the new characters played by Keith David and Paget Brewster. As far as Chang goes I think it was more that after the first season they knew they had a funny actor, but they had no idea what to do with the character. I haven't listen to them in years but I remember in the second and third season commentary Harmon brought up a few times that they just kept scrambling to come up with ideas for Chang that they never stuck with. Pretty much everyone in retrospect agrees the first season of his character was the best, and they just never got a handle on him because it wasn't a priority. I'm still a huge fan of the show but the chaotic production because of Harmon led to a lot of issues.

That makes sense, they even lampshade it in a season six episode. The group is explaining to Frankie that Chang used to be their teacher and Chang says something like “And, if we’re honest, I have not been properly utilized since.”

You made the right call, S1 and 2 were the good ones and it was steadily downhill after

Season 3 had Digital Estate Planning and Remedial Chaos Theory, among other very strong episodes. 4 is the worst of the lot. The only joke that I remember from it is the German exchange student's referring to that old TV show, "Hogan's Villains"

I mean, Kim is already pretty much the main character of Better Call Saul. E: this is in no way a complaint

Are profiles actually available to anyone in Prime? They were announced almost a month ago, but I've never seen the "Profile Picker" at the top of the app.

I've decided to finally start watching Better Call Saul and also the last season of Breaking Bad because I never finished it for some reason. Anyway, I'm six episodes into BCS and it's good and all, but the high point so far is definitely BJ from Righteous Gemstones showing off his erotic potty training toilet.

Midgetskydiver posted:I think Ozark finally broke me. Not sure why, but when Laura linney broke into that family's/ their old home and hosed with their stuff before leaving, it was just so casually and pointlessly evil. Purposefully taking away those kids' sense of security purely for pleasure, I mean, I know they've done hosed up things but something about that just totally killed my interest in the show. Got to this point in Ozark. My take is she's angry about what she's lost and what she feels she's been forced to be turned into, and her actions are part edgy TV writer bullshit and a message to this idyllic family not to be naive dumbasses and to change their locks. Maybe also a wish she could have sent the message to her earlier self. Personally I was way more turned off by Marty's sneaky attempts to control his wife through looking into installing spyware on her phone and paying off their therapist in that same episode.

Im on season 2 episode 8 of better call saul and i gotta say i just kinda love every character at this point, nobody's like a real hatable antagonist per se because mostly they're all just kinda lovely or kinda okay. Howard, Kim, Mark Proksch, Hector, they're all great. I like Jimmy's brother a lot too, I love that the urge to steal Mesa Verde from Kim was enough to get him past all his poo poo, just like gently caress it they can even keep their phones IM GOING. And then I just loved his pitch.

You can watch The Hunger Games live on YouTube with other people right now thanks to Fandango https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvYchHbxF_w The Hunger Games and Catching Fire are guilty pleasures of mine  The Mockingjay movies are rear end though.

I haven't felt seething hatred in a few months. Just watched the first 3 episodes of the Innocence Project doc on Netflix. Holy gently caress I wanna throttle that gently caress-stick Dr. West rear end in a top hat!
