    It strikes me as really cool how self aware Abed is, but one thing I have to ask: I thought Abed (and Troy) weren't hanging out with Jeff a lot lately, because they knew too much about his sexual practices? Abed made it seem like Jeff had been avoiding them.

    Jeff might have started pulling away and then they found out about Jeff's nipple play and they didn't want to put the effort forward (or more likely, troy didn't and abed went along with it because he's Troys best friend even though he also misses hanging out with Jeff)

    Yeah, it's not like it was loaded with references that you'd only understand if you saw the movie, it's more just little stylistic things (Jeff's narration, Abed's sweater, etc.).

    Looking at it, I think you're not supposed to be familiar with My Dinner with Andre. Abed explains the only relevant part of the reference, and the entire thing is supposed to be a misdirect which basically depends on you not "getting" it.

    And it ain't exactly Avatar. Though I might check it out...I do love Wallace Shawn.


    The Little Indian Girl Story and WHAT MARKET were definitely the top parts of the episode.
    "I was just glad they thought I was pretty" was twice as :shock: to me as calling phone sex lines as a fat guy.

    Definitely. They played it subtle enough that I think even people who were familiar with the film wouldn't have been like, "This is totally My Dinner with Andre!" within the opening moments. It's only after the fact when Abed reveals it that connections/references become apparent.

    I think the problem with Chuck *now* is that there's not really any major unexplored stuff left. Chuck's issues with both parents have been addressed, Casey has his daughter, Morgan has a relationship (I'm assuming this is all still true, I haven't seen it in a month or so).

    The show doesn't have a real story arc at this point so now it's just a show about spies with lots of geeky references and homages...which is okay, but nothing I can get overly excited about.

    The problem with Chuck is that it's been on the bubble every year. Hell, every half of a season, and the writers are nice enough to give us a good ending point should the show get canceled at pretty much any point. Season 2, mid Season 3, end of season 3, mid season 4 while not all the greatest ending points, all would have been fine. The problem with that is they wrap up major arcs, then have to find new ones. I mean how many super secret evil networks does Team Bartosky have to take out?

    Still, I wouldn't mind a season 5. And if it was a lock for Season 5, I'd have no mixed feelings about voting for Community. As it is I have, with some confliction, voted 4 times for Community.

    Edit: And Chuck won. Final show down Chuck vs Dexter. Now there is a Chuck episode I'd pay to watch.

    I was walking out of a taco shop Saturday. Busy shop, long line of people. I get just out the door and I notice a familiar face in the line. I stop, like I normally do when I see some one I recognize. I then realize, that while I recognize this person, I do not actually know them. Since I can't just start conversation with a "Hey, what's up? How you been?" I pause, to think of the right opener. This thought process, while fairly quick, has still taken long enough that my staring in slacked jawed surprise has attracted attention. Zachary Levi notices me, says "hey," snapping me back to reality, I say "hey," then continue out of the taco shop in embarrassment.


    Then I fell to the floor and pooped my pants.

    Yeah, I don't think us Community fans are in any place to judge Chuck fans for being very passionate and obsessed about their own show (though, they are very passionate). There's also a pretty big overlap in fanbase between the two shows.

    I'm not judging their passion. I voted in the Hulu poll several times.

    What put me off on that forum was how it was about nothing else. Just Chuck from top to bottom. The vast majority of forums I've ever visited have at least had a 'General Discussion' area with threads of movies, games, music and other shows, but I didn't see any of that on the Chucktv site. That's what put me off: the single-mindedness of the whole place.

    I don't judge them for what they enjoy (in fact, I really should start watching Chuck. Maybe after I'm done with Dexter's back catalog), but that forum is just not a place for me.

    There is such a category, but award shows almost always when they have a comedy category give the award to the least comedy-like nominee.

    It's the dumbest thing in a history of dumb trends, but there you go. I mean, look at the Golden Globes best musical/comedy thing. Always seems to go to the least funny film nominated.

    So on the whole "how long could the characters remain at Greendale?" issue:

    There's a brief feature in this week's TV Guide about Community where Dan Harmon states directly that the characters will graduate from Greendale
    at the end of S4 (if the show continues that long, of course).
