His real name is Art Vandelay.

Just when I think i'm out…
The premise sounds awful, but I love me some Jason Alexander so I'll allow it.

At least Kanye now seems to be self-aware enough to understand that he's a douche.

Yeah, I actually shouted "run, dickhead" at that point.

Gotta agree with this, it was a bit too sci-fi and a bit too convenient.

I think it's fair enough to discuss show vs book elements on boards without being considered a spoiling bastard. If you're dealing with a show based on an existing property then you should read boards at your own risk.

No, it's OK, he ran about six yards from the blast radius, so If all movies and films are to be believed then he'd be absolutely fine with nary a scratch.

It'll be interersting to see what the show does with this: i.e. whether it'll lay the foundation for some kind of salvation/cure further down the road, or whether it will accept that any hope of a return to normality is lost and the only option is to survive as long as they can. The latter would be bleak as hell, but…

I suspect that Morgan and his kid will rejoin the gang in season two. I hope so anyway, Lennie James was the best thing about the pilot.

If they'd have kept the core group within the CDC for multiple episodes it would have removed the entire zombie element of the show. I'm enjoying this as a show about people surving a horrific situation, but I still wanna see them tangle with the walkers on a weekly basis.

I think, if the whisper is what readers of the comic are suspecting it to be, it will come out very early in season two.

I'm glad that it didn't end with some contrived cliffhanger (e.g. the countdown clock getting to 5 seconds and them still stuck in the CDC). I'm also glad they didn't feel the need to shoehorn Merle in (who I suspect will be back as an analog for the comic's Governor character next season).

@That guy - Two sites, and I didn't like it. Hope that clears it up for you.

@Penguin - Another issue with the Louie/Community comparison is one of tone. Louie set out from the very start that it was going to wildly change tone from vignette to vignette to suit the whims of CK, dependent on what kind of story he wanted to tell, point he wanted to make etc. We accepted as part of the premise…

Money gets a pass from me for having my single favourite Michael moment: when he steps out of the office and shouts "I DECLARE BANKRUPTCY!". Brilliant.

I vote Season Two as the best overall (The Dundies, Booze Cruise, The Injury, Casino Night), but closely followed by Five. The MSPC arc is my favourite story the show has done.

I don't think the comparisons with Louie are entirely apt. Some episodes of Louie used very dark humour, which some found funny (me included) and others didn't. This episode of Community, however, simply sacrificed humour for drama, especially in the last act. It's not the same situation or approach as Louie, so the…

@Todd - I can only speak for myself, but the KIND of humour is irrelevant, funny is funny. I laugh at funny character jokes just as hard as I laugh at funny pop culture gags. Obviously humour is entirely subjective, and in this instance I found the episode to be devoid of anything funny.

"That's Blockbusters"

@Bitenuker - I think you're falling into the (entirely untrue) trap that there are two sets of Community fans: those that like the elaborate parodies (Modern Warfare etc), and those that like the more traditional/dramatic eps (e.g. this one).
