And now we've hit that part of the thread cycle where we talk about the state of the thread itself. I completely agree that season 4 probably ruined any chance of an enjoyable thread, and holy poo poo, do I hate actually having an opinion of an Internet message board's thread for a television show.

Maybe it's late, but I'm just tired of being stereotyped and being called "human garbage."

It's just felt like a really childish joke and came off as abrasive more than anything.

Perhaps I just internalized the joke and felt offended. I apologize.

Are you actively insulted in real by for being a vegetarian? Or is this just Internet-rage? Either way, anyone that makes fun of a vegetarian to their face is an rear end in a top hat, and probably the same type of people who laugh at people reading books or riding bikes. Simply put, relax, that person is making fun of the rest of us too.

ANYWAYS, I noticed a lot of shows are being renewed, any news for Community's fate?

The latest tv-by-the-numbers news has it as a toss-up between canceled and renewed. But, Sean Saves the World, and The Micheal J. Fox Show are both canceled, so... who knows.

The reason I internalized it was because I was a really skinny and tiny hindu vegetarian kid in highschool. I got beat up every day and force fed beef simply because seniors knew it was against my religion and that it'd piss me off. Same thing happened to the Jewish kids who didn't eat pork. My high school was pretty intolerant, screw that poo poo. Sorry for the internet rage, I just slipped up. :doh:

Where the gently caress did you go to school? Now I feel bad because real life got involved.

It's worth watching because it makes the highs of season five that much better. And really though, if you're a Community fan and you really love the show, then you have to admit that season four exists. Anything else is just being smug. If you're watching the entire series, then you might as well just watch it because it's still Community.

Oh my God, you have to shut the gently caress up. You make the worst arguments I have ever seen.

But yes, season 5 is about as Community as Community gets. The character-heavy moments to gimmicks seems to about split 50/50, but don't quote me on that.

In two weeks we're getting Cartoon 3. It'd be nice to get an episode featuring stuff that wasn't done better in the first three seasons.

I'd say you're over-generalizing, but... that's kinda what you do.

The only better thing would be to get a proper 20 episode season, to give breathing space for new ideas around the inevitable callback type episodes.

However many episodes they get, all I'm concerned with is that this is their chance to actually go into it knowing they can end it all on their terms how they want it. We won't have to settle for another finale that maybe could be the series finale, but maybe not.

When they zoomed in on the sipping of the soup, I thought it was going to be some strange "art" piece of some sort. Or a minor characters type episode. Those would have been wasteful episodes at this point.

You can't deny that an episode that's all the minor characters' stories playing out something like that similar episode of The Simpsons would be amazing. Just sixty seconds or so with each character as it pops around Greendale.

My gut reaction to the renewal is similar to yours. This is clearly a bad idea and you'd expect everyone on the cast (and Harmon) would be eager to move on to bigger and better projects. But then you hear about how instrumental Harmon and McHale were in the show's renewal and wonder, "what are they getting out of it?" Are they really in love with the show? Do they think its renewal--on Yahoo! of all places--will benefit their careers? Or is this simply a desperate move by two middle aged men who prefer stability and a known quantity over the development process?

This just in, "actors wanting to act, regardless of the rewards, is a bad idea", says Irish Joe, a man who clearly dosen't seem have passion for anything in his life.

Seriously dude, "what are they getting out of it?" I don't know. Maybe, getting to continue the work they enjoy doing, while being in an environment filled with people they enjoy working with? I don't think any of these actors are trying to become God damned Maryl Strep or anything. These people are comedy actors, and I think by getting to work on a show that has an established record of people calling "funny" is exactly the kind of career they're hoping to have.

You are really grasping here man, maybe you should take a break in the off-season and come back in the fall, fresh-faced and ready to troll anew.

Probably pissed she had to turn down whatever jobs she lined up when the cancellation was a sure thing. She, Jacobs and Pudi are locked in, but I wouldn't be surprised if there was at least one "mutually agreed upon departure" before the season starts.

Well it hasn't been THAT long since the show was officially canceled. Did she really get something lined up that fast? Or are you implying that someone would've quit before season 6 regardless of cancellation?

Either way, lazy-speculation aside. I'd imagine that the idea of trying to have the entire season ready to go streaming at once would mean it'll take a lot less time to film. Even if that is a very, very lofty goal since they want to be good to go by the fall.

I'm not quite sure what you mean, but "Modern Warfare" is the season one paintball episode. "Paradigms of Human Memory" (the clip show) in season three has a clip to a noir-themed game of paintball that didn't actually happen. And season four's finale had paintball in it.

Donald Glover is gonna be voicing the Miles Morales Ultimate Spider-Man in an upcoming animation. It's some kind of new show involving Peter Parker quantum-leap'ing around different realities and meeting different Spider-Men.
