As for this season, it’s still too early to tell what it’ll be. Dan Harmon, praise be to him, has said this season will be more grounded, but I feel like it’s the third or fourth time I’ve heard that lie.

I don't think it's quite fair to characterize it as a "lie". He always starts each season honestly and earnestly with the "more grounded" resolution and then it just all lurches out of control.

I really enjoyed the random Eric Clapton song over the "Hard Drive and Wing Man" ad. Cracked me up.

Not quite random, I'm pretty sure it's a nod to the 80s movie The Color of Money. Sometimes, on his Harmontown podcast, Harmon will improvise a movie or TV plot and end with "freeze-frame! IT'S IN THE WAY THAT YOU USE IT!"

It's possible that he's misremembering that as the actual ending of TCOM, which does end on a freeze-frame, but a different song plays. Until I checked it five minutes ago on YouTube, I would have sworn that the film ended with that Clapton song (which is featured in the movie) and a freeze-frame on Paul Newman.

I really loved Britta's parents.

I did NOT recognise Martin Mull, was amazed when I saw his name in the credits.

The first episode was better than the second, but the second was still good, and Knee-High Mischief was the best part of either episode.

Well, Danielo Jarmon and Roberto Schrabriguez were Portugal's greatest filmmakers.

Also it was just pointed out to me that the cup of coffee on the desk in the opening animation has been replaced by a glass of Ketel One vodka on the rocks.

The music cue for Hard Drive and Wing Man was a callback to Harmontown/Jeff Davis' gag?

Of course someone on Reddit made a complete list of every Harmontown episode where they used that gag.

Did anyone else notice the picture of Harmon in the speakeasy with "DO NOT SERVE THIS MAN"?

I thought it was him but I couldn't remember ever having seen him with a mustache but no beard. Somehow I missed seeing those webisodes until now.

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.

Dan Harmon agrees with you: Britta was right and everybody else was wrong.

The last "Great Minds" has a good run in it of (I'm pretty sure anyway) Dan Harmon impersonating the Community cast.

That is definitely what that is.

My favourite part of "Great Minds" is that the relationship between Dan and Spencer feels like only a very slightly exaggerated version of their real-life working relationship.

Alison Brie's the lead on a new show on Netflix, "Glow." I watched a few episode, and it's pretty drat good. Between that and Donald Glover's "Atlanta," the Community cast is doing pretty well for itself as long as you pretend "Dr. Ken" and "CBS Hates Millennials" never existed.

Powerless.
