It's fine if they do, like, "Final Documentary Filmmaking" or whatever, or stuff where Abed tries to live out sitcom tropes in B-plots ala "Herstory," but other than that I'd rather they just leave the gimmicks behind. It was Harmon's thing, and it was awesome. But they just can't do it as well. Not even close to as…

True. But I'll resent forever that I have to do that. And I do like "Herstory of Dance," at least. Sigh. I'm so depressed.

Well, now I want the show to be renewed way more than I did before, because if a show I thought of for so long as one of my three or four favorite shows of all time goes out on that and I'm no longer even able to recommend it to people without a huge list of caveats, it's pretty much gonna make TV as an entire medium…

I've no doubt Harmon had an entertaining "revisiting the darkest timeline" story in him. I doubt very much it had one iota of resemblance to this.

1. Modern Warfare (blew me away and shattered my expectations for what a sitcom could do like no other)
2. AD&D (perfect script)
3. Remedial Chaos Theory (endlessly inventive)
4. Digital Estate Planning (just like Modern Warfare, blew away my expectations)
5. Critical Film Studies (the show's best character work perhaps)
6.…

That final paintball battle looked really, really, really cheap and small and low-energy. Even by Community season 4 standards. After "Modern Warfare" and the S2 two-parter blew me away by sitcom standards with their paintball action, that was heartbreaking to see. It was all a mess.

See, I'm torn here, because I liked a lot of this episode - found bits of it flat-out delightful - while Andy's story made me want to crawl into a hole and die from embarrassment for sharing a planet with it. Rest of the episode: B+ Andy's story: D- Overall: B-

Will definitely see: Before Midnight (duh), Much Ado About Nothing (Whedon, etc.), The Way Way Back (for Jim Rash), Fruitvale Station (Michael B. Jordan is gonna be a huge star, better get on at the ground floor), Blue Jasmine (Allen's last movie was awful, but I'll still see it, if only out of a sense of…

Really excited for that one too.

I think the way to get Mew in Pokemon Red/Blue wasn't found for about ten years.

I'm almost positive it never attacks you. You could stand right below it, put your controller down, walk away, and come back ten hours later and it'd still be flying around and you'd still be unharmed.

After Man of Steel, easily my most anticipated movie of the rest of 2013. Edgar Wright is brilliant.

Better than Parks and Rec season 3? No. Better than Parks and Rec season 5? Yeah.

I think it's pretty amazing and wonderful that the word "clones" was only mentioned on this show in episode 3, and now, a mere three episodes after that, we've somehow made the leap to this bugnuts insanity. This show delights.

That was one of the most glacially-paced, emotionally dead, bleak, joyless and repetitive seasons of television I've seen in a long time. Just an endless barrage of colorless TV antihero cliches. But of course, if you're on cable, being a dull, uneventful slog just means that you're "patient," or, even more…

I love me some "Scott's Tots." Any sitcom that can make me feel that uncomfortable gets props.

"Cafe Disco" definitely makes me infinitely happier than "Niagara." The latter felt like the wedding episode they were obligated to do, the former felt so surprising and alive and I ended it with the hugest grin on my face (I also didn't really give a crap about "Leslie and Ben" from Parks. Or Monica and Chandler's…

This game is one of the most beautiful and intoxicating and terrifying ever. There are parts of it that chilled me to the bone and bled into my nightmares in a way no actual "horror" game ever has. I'm remain sad to this day that we can't fight that incredible, horrifying-looking beta spider colossus.

The best Gamecube game is Metroid Prime, but nailing two outta three ain't bad.

Guys With Kids? Nah, this is all bullshit.
