how long until the kickstarter launches?
― Nhex, Friday, 9 May 2014 18:55 (nine years ago) link
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.

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.
― Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Friday, 9 May 2014 19:08 (nine years ago) link
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.
― balls, Friday, 9 May 2014 19:11 (nine years ago) link
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.
― some dude, Friday, 9 May 2014 19:24 (nine years ago) link
Yeah, was going to say I thought they handled Troy's absence pretty well.
― djenter the dragon? (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Friday, 9 May 2014 19:26 (nine years ago) link
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.
― some dude, Friday, 9 May 2014 19:27 (nine years ago) link
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?

Rick and Morty having been picked up for a 2nd season softens the blow considerably, I gotta say.
― Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Friday, 9 May 2014 20:26 (nine years ago) link
Wish they'd at least marketed it as a farewell season instead of literally putting "six seasons and a movie" in the network promo
― da croupier, Friday, 9 May 2014 20:28 (nine years ago) link
Rick and Morty isn't that good, though

It sucks that the show had to go out on such a low note. The season 5 finale was a mess.
― jmm, Friday, 9 May 2014 20:37 (nine years ago) link
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.)
― Enola Ghey (King Boy Pato), Saturday, 10 May 2014 05:41 (nine years ago) link
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.
― getting strange ass all around the globe (Neanderthal), Saturday, 10 May 2014 05:46 (nine years ago) link
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.

I proved empirically than I am taller than Dan Harmon.
Oh yeah, and this happened:
