Community, the tv show

he was only spying on the group for the last two episodes, thankfully... but yeah, even the show pathetically lamp-shaded it. but yeah, overal best Chang in years

finale was pretty bad, rmde at the whole chris elliott emoticon thing. whole chris elliott character possibly

sort of like last season's finale but with dan harmon cynicism added in

i wonder if/when we'll be able to get the full version of that Aimee Mann cover of "Come Sail Away"

how long until the kickstarter launches?

I can't even be real mad about this, because I have no idea what stories are left to tell in a potential sixth season (much less a fucking movie). Did Troy die at sea? That's all I need to know, I guess.

don't know if harmon can be arsed going to netflix leave alone a begging bowl kickstarter

I can't imagine any out there could actually be surprised by this, but it does kinda sting after how much the show bounced back with the 5th season. I guess I'll just be glad it didn't fade out after the awful Season 4.

Yeah, I kind of feel the same way. Sucks that it's done, but at least it went out on a high note. Makes season 4 seem like that much more of a waste, though.

I'm still not sure season 4 was so much worse than season 5 tbh. Or maybe that season 5 was so much better than its predecessor.

Season 4 was 85% straight out terrible, I'm not sure how you could even equate the two.

Yeah, there were massive chunks of S4 that were unwatchable; not even the worst S3 moments were that bad.

Season 4 was 85% straight out terrible, I'm not sure how you could even equate the two.

maybe i was watching season 4 braced for the worst. maybe i expected better from season 5. i haven't watched episodes from either season more than once (have watched the previous 3 a bunch of times, season 3 tails off badly too). i don't know what to tell you.

someone asked a netflix suit earlier this year about a possible pickup and apparently something about the syndication deal they have w/ hulu makes it very difficult for netflix (and presumably amazon) to pick it up.

i can't remember much about season 4 other than it wasn't as bad as i thought it would be. my immediate feelings about season 5 is that a lot of it didn't work, and losing troy was an unwinnable situation. and i missed chevy more than i thought i would. and they just didn't bother writing much that was interesting for shirley.

although i think it was lame for dude to jet for the last 7% of the show's run because he needed to get his cornball album out, i liked the dynamic of the episodes without Troy, tbh the pairing with Abed had gotten stale to me and did a lot to limit possibilities for both characters.

Yeah, was going to say I thought they handled Troy's absence pretty well.

one thing i noticed in the commentaries for the early seasons was how they made a point of basing scenes/stories around every possible pairing or grouping of characters and found a way to make those people funny together. things like the Troy/Abed superfriendship reduced that as time went on, so it was fun to see that approach return a bit in season 5.

Hoping the cast fatalism is long game minded - why curb audience heartbreak when it could only increase chance of cc/Hulu pick-up. But either way, wahhhhhh. Why u give me good season 5 when hit or miss s3 followed by zombie s4 let me down more gradually?

Harmon is in town doing a podcast taping tomorrow that I'm going to try to attend. We'll see what he says.

Rick and Morty having been picked up for a 2nd season softens the blow considerably, I gotta say.

Wish they'd at least marketed it as a farewell season instead of literally putting "six seasons and a movie" in the network promo

Rick and Morty isn't that good, though

maybe they'll make up for the lost season and give us a Ben Hur length movie

tbh I would rather have a movie chronicling Alison Brie's Smirnoff party with Adam Scott

It sucks that the show had to go out on such a low note. The season 5 finale was a mess.

uh yeah if S5 finished on a high note, I could live with this

(Don't worry, they'll be back on some streaming thing.)

i'm honestly kinda fine with it ending. liked season 5 fine but I never felt this needed to be a long-tenured series. if anything I'd have been happier if 4 never happened and 5 replaced 4 and it had more of a definitive end.

I said this above and I stand by it - had S5 been a normal length season, with a bit more light and shade, and character development between the novelty episodes, it would have been fine. But it felt rushed - cf the David Cross character in the subpar D&D episode - and suffered as a result.

super-nice of them to time this leak for the return of Harmontown

stevie otm

Harmontown. Dan is not nearly as upset by the news as you'd think he'd be.

Jeff is taller and skinnier than you'd expect.

I proved empirically than I am taller than Dan Harmon.

Oh yeah, and this happened:

Made the whole weekend festival worth it. He'll happily talk to anybody afterwards about Joseph Campbell, the Dead Alewives, etc.

Dan is not nearly as upset by the news as you'd think he'd be.

I think he's relived, tbh. The show will forever hang around his neck like a ship's anchor.

great photos kingfish!! lucky dog!
