I wonder if any of the old Community characters (okay, Troy) would come back for a movie if offered? The line from Abed in the finale really seemed to hint at the notion that Donald Glover has moved on from the show. And then there's Chevy Chase, Yvette Brown, Jonathan Banks etc.

It's also nice that the subtext for cute can also be taken from a feminist perspective. A pretty woman with good looks can't be taken seriously?

Lion King had the animals all naked. Same with Jungle Book.

I also liked that they didn't show everything. That final joke had me in stitches.

I argue with my buddy all the time about our respective majors and we both dismiss biology jokingly at points, so the two laughing about botany on a space mission hit home to me.

Watney's the type of guy that you go to for a laugh when things are tough. He's the person who makes a bleary job fun to go to because he'll be fun to work with.

It's one of those moments where I wonder how the character was portrayed in the book or what would have happened if someone other than Donald Glover portrayed his character. He's meant to be the eccentric, almost autistic scientist that's "brilliant". Which given the diverse characters shown to be in their field,

A film that actually portrays the engineering process, the way scientists/engineers/astronauts go about solving problems with the given constraints, along with showing the political aspects/dilemmas of the engineering business, from ethical tests to meeting deadlines to inter-company cooperation, has a lot to offer,

I rather appreciate the idea that scientists have various personalities. The line sounds like one that would come from a bro, but it also shows not every scientist follows the stereotypical scientist/engineer stereotype.

That's in large part why I think Matt Damon's character works. We see him be scared and freak out in a few scenes, but generally he's s happy go lucky dude doing what he needs to survive. Yeah, laughter is a coping mechanism when things look dire, but it's his positive/friendly aura he shows on screen that makes me

Think the ending's intense enough without needing to add the Iron Man sequence. They already had multiple problems/solutions reached without needing to add the Iron Man bit.

Yes, Wendy doesn't really have a character arc like many of the other characters, and like you said, there was no spotlight episode for her. The only bit I have for character development is likely unintentional, but it also fits the role she played in season 1 vs season 2. It's a two pronged thesis.

I kinda get that but at the same time we also dived into the characters in a way I think didn't really occur in season 1 too, so there's the trade off.

His agent is amazing though to get him all those quality roles in 2015.

Seriously though, it's both heartbreaking and inspiring to hear Alex Hirsch's struggle with making the first season and how he persevered to make a second season. I always find his interviews and commentaries on the show so insightful, and obviously it goes without saying that he's a good story teller, but he has such

I bet it wasn't a coincidence that the same-sex canon ship of the show had their final significant moment shooting a cannon, right?

This film is comfort food for sure, but I like comfort food. It's a nice film. But I totally agree with the viewer in that it ended too cleanly. But ain't that the real American Dream? Having an easy out and things wrapped up in a nice little bow?

Reminder that the illuminati is real:

There are Dippers 3 and 4 left behind in Gravity Falls.
