From an old interview but it’s so fun to gif anyway. XD
American Idol Top 4 - Songs They Wish They’ve Written: Volcano
What I am to you is not real
What I am to you, you do not need
What I am to you is not what you mean to me
You give me miles and miles of mountains
And I’ll ask for the sea
3.20 Digital Estate Planning / 3.21 The First Chang Dynasty / 3.22 Introduction to Finality
So NBC decided to air the last three episodes back to back. As a fan, I think it’s great cause hey, more Community. But the episodes weren’t built to be aired one after the other so it just felt like a sloppy effort to get all the eps out as soon as possible. Is it because they delayed the return and now have to catch up? This show is treated like a stepchild. :[
Good thing the episodes were hilarious. Vastly different but still very Community. :)
The video game episode. I heard not everyone is a fan but I am! I thought it was so innovative. The amount of work that went into that must’ve been immense. And each character plays the game like real life. Troy is just jumping around, knocking things over, Annie keeps on aww-ing at everything, Shirley is surprisingly capable of things, Britta can’t do anything properly, Jeff figures things out and leads the team, and Pierce can’t figure anything out. XD Abed, well, Abed was being Abed. He turned Hilda’s village into a kingdom and had a bunch of mini Abeds to take down the Hawkthorne castle. LOL
In the end the study group did the good thing and forfeited the game. Even Pierce was on board with the plan and was all excited about his half-brother. After all that ridiculousness of determining the heir via video game, the episode ended with a warm, kind affection courtesy of the group. Awwww. :)
Next came the homage episode to Ocean’s Eleven. I loved that movie so I found this especially endearing. :3 My favorites were the air-conditioning repair school person ‘suggesting’ the heist plan, Jeff as Criss Angel (OMGLOL) and Britta as his assistant, Troy and Abed as Casey Affleck and James Caan, and Dean at the rave party. Oh also that part where Troy and Abed defused the fireworks.
They managed to take down Chang and restore the Dean but oh noes, Troy has to go to air conditioning repair school now. :( His whisper to Abed reminded me of Lost In Translation and I cracked up in that part of the movie so I almost did again here. Abed got emotional. :’(
Finally, the last episode featured Jeff bringing them home with a Winger speech. It certainly felt like a series ender especially with that montage at the end. Some character growth there people! Jeff searched his father on the internet, Abed reduced his dreamatorium to a cardboard closet (for what? is Britta moving in? :O), Shirley and Pierce opened a business together, City College is planning an invasion and Chang wants in I think, and Starburns is not dead! O_O
But really, everything Jeff said at that court summarized what the show has been all about. It put together this group of people that never would’ve gotten together, and made them into a family. And that’s what I love about it. All that innovative and creative storytelling is just a bonus. :D
BUT BUT. All that creativity is in serious jeopardy because Dan Harmon just got fucking fired. DX I’m not familiar with the material of the new showrunners but T____________T so fucking unfair. What’s the point of renewing the show if the creator gets sacked? FU NBC. You canceled Awake and now this. Fuck you very much.
I will just hold on to the awesomeness of this three-episode feature to tide me over the summer hiatus. I will worry about the status of the show when it comes back. Hoping for the best.
