It's very strange to think that in a year or so I'll own seasons 1-3, 5 of Community and not 4.

So, so, so, so glad Community is back to its old self.

I could have sworn the dean said it was his "ideantidean" and it made me laugh twice as hard.

The gas leak year consisted of Jeff and Pierce graduating, which we sort of saw, and then another semester in which everyone else graduated (or left, I don't think Britta finished a degree). I really didn't expect them to reference season 4 but that gas leak gag was a pleasant surprise.

I really hope Andre comes back, both so Malcom-Jamal Warner can come back and because I don't see another happy ending for Shirley without her family.

I still can't get over how good the Pierce hologram was (callback to Intermediate Documentary Filmmaking) when I didn't expect anything but a brief mention of him. It's still sad that he's not going to be around, I really wish they could have gotten him as a guest for a couple of episodes. Depending on the final status of his character, I'd really like to see this happen in the sixth season NBC knows it needs to give us to cut down riots by 40%.

Also, I regret not simply posting "...do we all have to say something?" after the episodes. I really Britta'd that.

I completely forgot that the long list of guest stars is being packed into thirteen episodes. It almost makes me nervous, that's the kind of thing an NBC show does in its final season.

Two fantastic episodes, though I do think it would still be funny if there was a season 6, it gets actual good ratings, and Harmon says "Nope, no season 7, you wanted six seasons and a movie and that's it!"

I'd be fine with this because it would mean we get a movie.

By the way, I have a strong feeling that the movie will end up being a production of Cool Abed Films if we don't get an actual movie.

It's a good thing the full film didn't make it into the episode because I would have also been crying at the end.

Honestly, the Pierce hologram and that Troy line were done very well and a great way to sort of hang a lampshade on their departures. That was probably the hardest job Repilot had to do and it was done very well.

Yeah the whole episode I was thinking "man abed should know better than this" Cage is unquestionably great.

Yes, but is the the terrible kind of great?!

I really loved his first Cageburst in the apartment, it reminded me of Pinocchio turning into an rear end.

I think we have a new thread title.

If not though it has to be one of Abed's lines, his "gently caress you" look to the Dean was great. He's grown a lot as a character while still being Abed.

Right, this is exactly my point. Implying that what it alludes to, sexual harassment, "is something people treat as serious, but its not".

No, they treated it like sexual harassment in that they took it seriously, but it wasn't that so it wasn't to be taken seriously.

The only offensive joke to me was the soccer joke. But it's Dan Harmon.

It seems reasonable for them, one more big season for both shows.

Then NBC walks into a bathroom, shuts the door, and we hear a muffled gunshot.

I like how they laid in that he'll be gone "for a year...maybe longer". It sounds like they'd have him back for the season 6 finale at the very least.

Also, I lost it at Shirley's "What have you brought to my door?!"

During the A- Riot, while other students has chairs and binders, Real Neil has board with nails sticking out of it. Dude clearly is just looking for a reason.

By putting nails in his board he upgraded his club to a spiked club, going from a d6 to a d8. Dude knows how to do some damage.

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").

After watching it maybe four times I finally realized that the woman singing "Abed" is singing "Shirley" when Shirley destroys the film in the third act.

I like how the fives still had to keep up their charades at the top. Hickey saying "it's my birthday!" with false enthusiasm was great. I laughed hardest at his scoff just before the theme, though. He really is a great addition to the group.

Requesting a gif of Abed and Anthony's smile exchange.

Also, kind of a big reveal that Chang smokes pot? Actually, based on his behavior, I wouldn't be surprised if it was synthetic.

D&D is as fun as the DM and players make it. This varies.

This episode was good but it seemed to really fly by. I do think I'll use the "you'd better think to not use fire on this old bridge" trap in my next D&D session this week.

Community was a lot better when it had this tone. After Season Three it seemed to shift from being a series about a group of misfits finding hope and family to a group of addicts driving each other further down a dark path.

If things went well (like the show being supported by the network and not being gutted for not putting up Friends numbers while in the same time slot as the goddamn hypnotoad of sitcoms) then the fourth season could have brought resolution to some issues and show how they've grown as people.

First, let's ask ourselves - "What is a story?"

I wonder who they're giving Shirley's line to this season.

:drat:

I wish she'd get some kind of departure. Exposition of some off-camera events explaining a character's absence makes me think of the darkest timeline, and that makes me think of the fourth season, and then I want to drink.
