Don't get me wrong: It could be terrible. We'd have nothing to worry about if Sony had renewed Dan's contract. And there are numerous reasons why they should have and why they didn't -- but what it comes down to is, COMMUNITY is a wide open concept and format that many creators who aren't Dan Harmon can bring a lot to. I'm not overly familiar with the work of David Guarascio and Moses Port, but they were bold enough to cast Joel McHale for their (unaired) version of THE IT CROWD and hire Richard Ayoade to play the same character as in the UK version.
( Yeah, Dan brought a lot of personal, unique attributes to the show. )

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... )

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,

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.
"Hey, did I miss anything?"
I'm... absolutely speechless.
(I don't even know how to tag this, I'm shocked...)

#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quote what Brian Collins had to say about it: "I don't know if a single other show on the air is as screwed over by the outdated Nielsen system as this one, because I think any show that can trend worldwide AS IT AIRS clearly doesn't have to depend solely on DVR and online viewing to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!

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!
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.
