Maybe together we can make it the first profitable season of Community!!! A good bit disappointed in Yahoo's streaming offerings. Xbox 360 but no Xbox One or PS4? Roku but no Chromecast, Apple TV, Amazon Fire Stick, etc, etc. Maybe I'll play it on my computer muted in a different workspace while I use other means to play it on the tv.

Those were pretty awesome episodes. They had the community zaniness that I loved in season 3, but actually were pretty down to earth, dealing with human themes. Yahoo Screen on the computer is terrible. Had to boot into windows to even get it to play and had multiple times that I had to restart the stream because it just stopped. It's 2015, stop using loving flash. Maxwell Lord posted:I like to imagine the end of the first episode is what actually has happened to Shirley. It is pretty close. She moved back home to take care of her sick father and landed a local, lower commitment gig on the 3's company remake on TBS. The only thing missing from real life is her legitimately solving crime with a wheelchair bound detective.

Pick posted:Yeah, I mean it zoomed so quickly over what would make that plot land that it just ended up terrible. Their flaws are given like two lines midway through a conversation and summarily dismissed. And it's super hosed up of her friends to be involved with her parents behind her back and then insist the're good people. Lots of abusive people seem "nice" to other members of the community they don't have power over. I believe Jeff actually said, "We're terrible friends" at one point in the episode. I thought it was fine.

JesusFists posted:While I didn't have a problem with the E2 Britta storyline, my partner, who is not a Harmontown fan, initially did, until I explained that the show was absolutely taking her side. See, Harmon is closer to Britta than to any of the other characters - check out how he basically describes his oppositional defiant disorder in a Rolling Stone interview from last year: I'm not a Harmontown follower and this definitely puts her characterization into context. But I took away pretty much what you wrote from the episode. I did like Jeff agreeing with her when she accused him of being a terrible friend, "Yeah, we are." Britta being the worst also seems like something coming straight from Harmon's phsyche.

Shneak posted:They haven't though and I felt it was more apparent in this episode than ever. Chang got written out to do something off-screen so he wouldn't be in the way. Britta walked away from/fell asleep in the Situation Room multiple times. The new old guy didn't really have any relevance to anything. Maybe it's because of the anchored location that didn't provide enough sub-plot devices but a chunk of the cast was useless. It was pretty close to what they did in previous seasons. Abed even mentioned it, I think to Shirley, that they didn't do side-plots. Plus, Chang should not be a main cast character. He's too unstable to sustain that. He's good for one-off jokes, so sending him off to shoot a solo porno was a good use of his time. The big change is that the Dean is now a main cast character. He used to have the same role that Chang did: an outsider who keeps showing up, but he's become a focus this season (and last, and to a lesser extent in season 4). Keith David, so far, is closer to the old Dean role: a bystander who is providing an outsider joke interface.

tarlibone posted:I thought it was really funny, and actually a little serious with the whole "token gay" part of the story. I think they cheapened it when Gaydean came out as a politician, though. I would have preferred he call the press conference, tell them that he's going to completely step out of the pocket, and then cut to the hallway where the press corps hurriedly leaves the room with looks of confused disgust on their faces. That way we get to know that the other 5/7ths of the Dean's personality is pretty juicy indeed without the cheap cop-out. There are some things that are still too taboo for TV. The Dean is into most of them. It's a meta point where the political thing to do was cop out and not reveal his fetishistic nature.

Senor Tron posted:Another really good episode, I'm sad we're only getting a short season this time round. Has there been any word on if this is a one-off or if Yahoo may consider doing more if ratings stay good (by Yahoo standards)? Dan Harmon has stated that all bets are off with what Yahoo does. It could be a scrubs season 8/arrested development season 4, but it could also keep going. I've seen different places of McHale, Rash, and Pudi stating that they're in for the long haul. Dunno about Brie or Jacobs.

Unmerciful posted:It's hardly a serialized show but it seemed off to me unless they're trying to make a point about character growth being impossible which it sort of seems like they are doing with Britta and Chang both effectively homeless. Pretty much all the characters are getting older without making any forward progress in their lives. I mean, you've heard the theme song, right?

That shot almost seems to me like he thinking, "I know this is a situation where other people would smile, so... *smile*" But that could just be a lack of familiarity with Abed showing emotion.

Jagermonster posted:This is hilariously insane. I described one episode of an overall great show as "not great." And this is the vitriolic response. I can kind of see where you're coming from. I once went a little nuts defending the amazing Season 3 Christmas episode, extolling its greatness and impugning the critic's ability to appreciate good comedy. This is straight up crazy though. I got probated for a day or so for my vociferous defense that time. You deserve at least a week for this hissy fit. Jagermonster posted:Actors pretending to be bad at acting in a shoot within a tv show or movie just isn't funny.* It's tedious. It's bad. Movies and television need to retire that trope ASAP. Not a great episode. Your post for reference. You didn't just say it was not great, you said the premise was tedious, bad. Not justifying his response, but I can see how he arrived at that response. There are a number of people with "gar-bage dick" avatars whose only contribution to the thread is negativity and it is wearing, especially when the season so far has been the opposite of tedious and bad.

Fair? No, but it is what it is. e: also, my posts are largely positive and constructive with a fairly long history of posting in this thread.

Dan Harmon on @midnight was hilarious. The clown penis line of jokers really could have gone for an hour and it would have been quality programming. OTOH: one of the speed games was "cancelled show pitches" where you had to name a show that was doomed to be cancelled. One of his jokes was, "probably Community... again." Needed a sad trombone sound effect.

pwn posted:Agreed, also they get married by Todd? All these people have been in the same "school" for 6 years and ugh. This place is a cult. No wait, it's the world's laziest writers. That's been a theme of the season: these people never escape. Once you start at Greendale, you stay until you die. And at some point, you either go crazy and become part of the backdrop (like Todd) or you accept that you're stuck and you become an alcoholic (like Jeff) or revert into immaturity (like Britta, Annie). Or you could just approach watching the show as not a goon and enjoy it for what it is, which is much better TV than is currently airing on network television. Agh, I watched about 60 seconds of a CBS show after they stopped their live weather coverage. It was terrible.
