So, my friend who knows I love Community pointed me to this article on Dan Harmon and how firing him is kinda/sorta/maybe firing a disabled person because of his placing on the autism spectrum, and it reminded me of something that sorta irked me from the finale...( Read more... )

I'm following Neil Gaiman on tumblr, as I'm a big fan. So I was over the moon when, just hours after Karen's video was uploaded, he posted a reply to it:


(Unlike most tumblr users, he likes putting his thoughts on top of the reblogged item, instead of under)

We're mostly familiar with Neil Gaiman as a fantasy book/graphic novel writer. A few know that he wrote the Doctor's Wife episode of Dr. Who. So, his post got me quite excited (even if it didn't happen, it was lovely knowing he knew about Community and wanted to write for it).

Then as we all know, YourFavoriteHoliday got cancelled today the news about Dan Harmon went out today, along with his blog post about what happened. Hours later,



It just warmed my heart that us fans aren't alone, and someone who has a big name like that has also shown Dan his support.

A little something to cheer everyone up after last nite's news: Thanks to danielletbd on twitter, the 8-bit version of the theme song that was used in Digital Estate Planning is now available as a ringtone. You can download it here.

This is from a tumblr post from just an hour ago:

"Hey, did I miss anything?"

I'm... absolutely speechless.

(I don't even know how to tag this, I'm shocked...)

So according to the A.V. Club, Dan Harmon will not be returning as showrunner for Community's fourth season. David Guarascio and Moses Port, of Happy Endings and Aliens in America, will be taking the helm in his irreplaceable place.

#darkesttimeline should be trending, y/y?

Hello, Communies! I've got four of these to cobble together today, so let's skip the chit-chat and get down to it. This roundup covers those reviews that cover all three episodes (or more than one, at any rate) in one article. Reviews covering individual episodes will be rounded up into posts specifically dedicate to those episodes. For aesthetic reasons, I'm going to abbreviate the episode titles—DEP for "Digital Estate Planning," TFCD for "The First Chang Dynasty," and ITF for "Introduction to Finality"—and forgo the use of quotation marks around the abbreviated titles.

( Reviews are my shining star )

Before we get to the specifics about last night's ratings, let me quote what Brian Collins had to say about it: "I don't know if a single other show on the air is as screwed over by the outdated Nielsen system as this one, because I think any show that can trend worldwide AS IT AIRS clearly doesn't have to depend solely on DVR and online viewing to justify its continued existence - people ARE watching this show, regardless of what Nielsen says." By which he means Community pulled record-low ratings last night. All three episodes got a 1.3 in the key demos. Bummer! Well below the legal limit for a ratings donut, so I had a "now I'm depressed, I need a donut" donut instead. And hey, it's not all bad; for one thing, we're already renewed, and as Ryan Schwartz points out, a 1.3 rating would be cherished on Fridays.

Over on the Twitter, #sixseasonsandamovie trended worldwide within moments of it appearing on the screen during the east coast airing, and remained there for "a good 10 - 15 minutes." "Evil Abed" also trended during ITF, and "Troy and Abed" trended during DEP and remained there for at least 15 minutes. I'm also told that GetGlue users trended @nbcstore at number 4 on GetGlue. Not sure what that means, but yay for trending!

Here @ lifeis_caps

To avoid spam, I have given each episode a thread below so that you can discuss them separately. Start a new thread if you want to talk about all three in general!

Ok, everyone. Thanks for all the suggestions. I've given this some thought and I think that we should follow a rule for every character of the main cast. Here goes.

Take a drink everytime:

-Abed says "cool, cool, cool"
-Annie gasps or screams
-Britta goes into "Psych-Major" mode
-Jeff is texting on his phone
-Pierce says something offensive (race, religion, gender, homophobic)
-Shirley says "that's nice"
-Troy cries
-Dean or Chang uses their name as a pun.


There's one more:
The past two seasons, Annie has kissed someone in the season finale. If Community makes this 3-in-a-row with Annie locking lips with someone, TAKE 3 DRINKS.

The more people we get involved, the more entertaining this will be. Tweet (#CommunityDrinkingGame) to your friends. Post on Facebook, spread the word to other communities/boards. Make it happen! And I'll see you guys after the finale.

More promotion for tonight's finale!

It looks like a college student newspaper has just broken the story on an art show organized by former college students about a TV show about college students. Give it a read if you want information about this summer's Six Seasons and a Movie art show, along with venue location and exhibit hours!
