3. Short answer: Frankie banned alcohol from campus and Jeff likes drinking at work. Long answer: I saw the whole plotline as a meta-commentary on the evolution of the show and a juxtaposition of the more absurd elements with the more grounded ones. (Frankie rushing in with Keystone cops and asking "This is what you wanted, right?") It reminded me a lot of the Frank Grimes episode of The Simpsons where a "real" person invades a sitcom universe and their reaction is "What the gently caress is wrong with you people?"

I really loved the scene where they took it one more step, and she gives her "I've decided to be in charge here" speech, and the guy goes "How pretentious are you? Who would say that in a job interview?"

Holy cow, the director character was fantastic -- that guy should win some kind of acting award.

He wasn't getting arrested, just thrown off campus because Frankie finally caught him as the guerrilla marketer that was preying on the dean.

Spacebump posted:

I wonder when they are going to announce if there are going to be any future Community projects. I'd rather them do another season instead of a movie, unless the movie could bring back old cast members. If the show ends with this season, I hope the last episode has a good ending.

I'd love another season too. The actors' contracts are up this season, so it might not be feasible. A movie would be a lot easier to negotiate if any of them are looking to move on to better projects.

I expected the episode to have a "Music Man" ending, where their ultimate grift required a series of super-intricate briefcase switches so that it turned out he really had taught them something.

Yeah, for some reason I found that off-putting.

Rest of the ep was great, though.

Like the episode with Spencer, they gave her a role that didn't ask for too much. Didn't seem to matter one way or the other.

What's the point of running a multi-million dollar show if you can't get your friends and family SAG cards?

I still like Community and I enjoyed this episode, but the show has lost heart and that's a shame because that's what drew me into the show in the first place.

Stuff like Jeff and Shirley being awkward and learning how to get along, or Pierce comforting Jeff after his breakup with the professor, or Troy overcoming his phobia to help his friend. That stuff doesn't really happen any more, or if it does it's so zany it lacks meaning.

Jeff and sometimes pierce were the ones that usually needed to learn emotional lessons each episode. Now pierce is gone and Jeff is drunk all the time.

Still funny though. And Jeff needing to be taught the same thing over and over was wearing thin anyway.

Rumblings from ~~~sources~~~ that Yahoo is already talking to Sony about more episodes.

On Dan Harmon's podcast he talked about watching the third "Human Centipede" and how Tom Six didn't really seem to have his heart in it and was just doing it for the fans ... kinda like Season 6 of Community.

So who knows? Maybe he's just being a baby because he had to work instead of playing Minecraft.

Did they ever say that? They just said that they SHOULD have been showing as better than they were, and would've been raking it in on TV if the numbers were accurate. But a few ads on yahoo screen isn't going to rake in the dollar no matter what.

Harmon claimed on his podcast that the views were through the roof on Yahoo.

But yeah, if they couldn't sell enough ads to make it back, then what's it matter?

I couldn't in my country so it was files for me. I don't even get it. If Yahoo was making the show and it was exclusively on their website, why did different country licensing even come into it?

Maybe it has something to do with the Hollywood side of things. Would whoever owns the syndication rights be interested in blocking international viewing?

Like, since the show was originally on network, there's likely U.S. distribution rights and international distribution rights. If Sony withheld the international distribution from Yahoo, they could sell Season 6 overseas for syndicated TV broadcast as essentially a new season.

They never released the numbers, but Dan said the viewership on Yahoo was really high, and Yahoo was super pleased with that aspect of it.

That said, I whitelisted Yahoo Screen on my adblocker and still never saw a single ad. I can totally buy that Yahoo was too incompetent to sell the ads or deliver them.
