There's a throwaway line in S2 that suggests it has something to do with weed dealing (Poussey scolds Taystee for selling hard drugs, she says she used to do the same thing with weed which was "real enough to get you locked up in here.")

OITNB premiere day is always when I remember how much I fucking hate the Netflix release model.

I actually had the opposite reaction to AD S4 as I did Community S6. While the back half of the season was stronger, it kinda lost me after I realized none of it was going anywhere. Community S6, on the other hand, ended in a way that made the rest of the season come together.

Season 4 honestly does feel like the end of Parks & Rec's story to me, and Seasons 5 and 6 are patchy, but I liked Season 7 enough that I'm willing to forgive, and it made my overall impression of the show land nicely.

I think that would be my ranking too. They all had really great endings though, honestly.

But that's the thing: I have my doubts the show can continue to wow in Season 7. I did like S6 quite a bit, but it also had some signs of strain. They made the cast changes work to their advantage, but I'm not confident they could with another round of them. And since they already basically ended every character's…

The importance of legacy is definitely overstated but it does matter. The Simpsons' golden years were so original and mind-blowing that even ~17 bad seasons couldn't tarnish it, but I do think they have hurt it somewhat (as a 21 year old most people around my age and younger only know of The Simpsons as that cartoon…

But what else is left to say? The Season 6 finale ended the stories of most of the major characters. I would love for shows to last forever if they can remain fresh, but as much as I liked S6 it's clear that the cast and Harmon are nearing the end of their rope with the show and its difficult to imagine Season 7…

It did seem like the focus was on the show itself again and not the behind-the-scenes drama or turbulent scheduling, like it had been since Season 3. In a way, the seasons' under-the-radar tendency might have actually helped it.

S5 is a worse finale because it didn't even try to be one. S4's is a worse episode though, and probably the worst episode the show ever did. (S5's finale might be the worst Harmon episode, though.)

That may be true and I think S6 is ultimately a season that works better as a whole than the sum of its parts, which is almost the total opposite of Season 5 (and even 3). Other than Modern Espionage and the finale there's nothing in S6 I would individually hold as a high watermark of the show (whereas like half of S3…

I would recommend it. Seasons 5 and 6 aren't quite up to the levels of 1-3, but parts of them are (this episode included) and overall it never gets as bad as S4 again.

If this is the Variety article you're referring to, they could just as easily be talking about a movie, since they're going off of a very vague Yahoo statement that simply says they expect Community to "keep delighting its fans"

The finale connected a lot of dots for me - Jeff's descent and the way the dwindling group played a part in it, Abed increasingly distancing himself from the TV show trope, the gradual turnaround of Greendale simultaneously reflecting the group's maturation, ect. Maybe I'm reaching, but I saw these things subtley…

I think Seasons 1-3 are a perfect trilogy and Seasons 4-6 are like a sequel of varying quality. Of the back 3 seasons, I think Season 6 is easily the best at this point. The finale cemented an emotional throughline that didn't exist in Seasons 4/5, and it comes closest to establishing a strong identity of its own,…

I really see no way an additional season wouldn't be a pointless endeavor at this point. The story is done. The characters are in good places. Bringing Annie and Abed back would be detrimental to their characters, and I'm sorry to say that I couldn't give a shit about a new class of characters.

I think you can argue 30 Rock, Parks and Community all had a bum season or two, but generally they all went out near the top of their game and didn't drag on for years and years to the point of diminishing their own legacy, like so many shows do. That's an achivement. Not to mention it's a miracle all 3 shows somehow…

S1: Contemporary American Poultry
S2: Mixology Cerification
S3: Remedial Chaos Theory
S4: Herstory of Dance
S5: Cooperative Polygraphy
S6: Emotional Consequences of Broadcast Television

I just wanna say, assuming this is the end, how awesome it is that 30 Rock, Parks and Rec, and Community all got to have satisfying conclusions that cemented their legacy on their own terms, without going past the point of diminishing returns. Those three shows operating at their heights was such an amazing period of…

On the plus side, it'll be nice to spend eternity on an episode I actually like this time.
