I really like it, and I'm sure there's another D-CA who will attest to its amazing-ness.

Yeah, I have an unhealthy love for this show.

It's possibly my favorite show on TV right now.  Troy and Abed are the best parts.

My problem is that Troy and Abed are the only parts I like. The female characters annoy me.

Jeff and Annie aren't that annoying and we're supposed to not like Pierce and Britta.  Shirley is just filler....well, very good filler.  The secondary characters are almost all gold.  The Dean is great, Chang is great, the Brittish guy from the Daily Show is great.  Troy and Abed are just comedy gold and make everyone else look bad in comparison.

Abed's pretty excellent as an observer, but he's the flattest character, and it shows when they try to make him the focus of an episode. Donald Glover is amazing, and Troy's my favorite character. His development as a character is one of the better things that's happened in this season.

I don't understand how anybody could dislike Annie.

HockeyDude is right, of course.

I dislike Chang, to be honest. His persona is just a little grating. Also, I agree that Abed is somewhat one-dimensional, but I think it's mostly the inability of a young actor to really blossom into a multi-faceted role. He'll get there, eventually. Regardless, the one dimension he portrays is still rather funny, although it's getting old.

Chang was good as the crazy Spanish teacher, but he hasn't had a well-defined place in the second season. It doesn't help that he's not in a number of episodes; it renders him more easily expendable.

Jeff and Britta aren't on camera nearly as much as Liz and Jack, though. They don't get a ton of screentime in today's episode.

If you liked season two, then season one ought to blow you away.

The episode today was one of a few this year where the shift in tone between the two seasons was a good thing. An episode like that wouldn't have been possible a year ago.

I think Community is a much better show, but I understand it's not everybodies cup of tea.

I've actually never met anyone who watched it and didn't like it. I wouldn't have been crushed if it got the hook, though. Parks and Recreation is clearly superior at this point.

Abed reminds me of phknrocket1k.

It's not coming back in January. The remaining episodes will be aired at some point, but it's hard to see it continuing beyond this.

This episode was fantastic. It would be hard to find a better way to go out.

[Хahar 🤔]

Yeah, that scene was pretty much intended to do that.

One of Annie's bubbes is already dead, let's not forget.

Also, it's kind of funny how much The A.V. Club likes Community.

I don't think they've started taping the second half of this season yet.

They're finishing taping this week, I believe.

Alison Brie will be back on our TV sets shortly.

[Хahar 🤔]

I haven't been on board with a lot of the things Community has been doing in Season 3, but the last episode was pretty fantastic, and I say that without having ever seen Law and Order.

Also, this video is my favorite thing at the moment. Alison Brie is so talented.

[Хahar 🤔]

At some point, almost certainly. Chris Pratt is in it, too, and I like him almost as much as her; having both in the same movie is too great to pass up, even if they're not the main characters. Chris Parnell is also in it, and he's great on 30 Rock and Archer.

[Хahar 🤔]

I feel the same way; I've really hated the way Abed's character has been infantilized over the course of the season (the tag of the Dreamatorium episode sticks out in particular as something repulsive). It seems like that's very much a minority opinion on the Internet, though.

[Хahar 🤔]

I hated the last episode; it felt like bad fanfiction. Abed trying to cut Jeff's arm off with a saw isn't funny or cute; it means he's dangerously insane and needs to be institutionalized for the sake of those around him.

In other news, Dan Harmon's no longer running the show.

That episode felt like Childrens Hospital somehow became an episode of Community. It was totally bizarre and I loved it. I'm on board.
