One of our neighbors has "Bill Wi the Science Fi."

Seconded.  I think the Shirley/Britta friendship is one of the overlooked treasures of the show.  There's this recurring thing where they both really want the other to like them, and are hurt over and over by feeling looked-down-on.  And although it hasn't been as well-explored as a relationship, she has enough acting…

I think they're stuck in a corner with that.  Abed *has* to be self-conscious about all his weirdness, because when they verge into him being genuine, it's harder to find it funny because it looks more like actual, untreated mental illness.  They're already walking a really fine line with Abed's hilarious dissociative…

You know, I feel that way about all the characters lately.  Things just don't escalate the way they did in the days of "Cooperative Calligraphy," or even whatsit, the Batman one ("YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO CALM US DOWN!")  It's like all the Chaos Muppets that used to propel the show have gotten comfortable with life. Great…

Jeff and Britta are always pure gold together.

Actually, I think the Loki people are pissed at Joss for making a movie where he's, you know, a villain.  Because they got a different screener copy of Thor than the rest of us did, is what I gather?  I'm not sure.  But yes, he was a complete loveable woobie until mean Joss came along, I hear.

So, yes, pretty much.

I can't believe I had to read downthread this far before someone made this joke.  Step it up, AV Club!  You're making things not about Community, and I don't like it.

I'm afraid you're doomed on that one.  We've had a quarter century to come to terms with the fact there's no such line in Empire as "Luke, I am your father," and it's going nowhere.  Nerds always prefer the movie in our heads to the one that was actually filmed.  It's kind of our One Rule.

STEPHEN FRY!

Claire trying to ask Hayley out on a date was super funny.  I think Julie Bowen is hilarious, and it's always nice to see her get real live comedy to do, rather than being Disapproving Mommy all the time.

Why don't we go around and everybody — everybody say a race that you are attracted to sexually.  I'll go last.

False.  "Bye Bye Bye" is an objectively excellent pop song, and I think there's a credible case to be made for, at the very least, "I Want You Back" and "Gone."  I grant that my fondness for "Tearing Up My Heart" is a personal quirk.

It is for the rest of us, if it generates swarms of Chris Browns.

Right, but adding a surprise roommate is wrong because it's inconsiderate.  Unrelated but also wrong is calling a girl who's had two sexual partners, both in committed relationships, a slut because you think her skirt should be two inches longer.

Do we say transsexual anymore?  I thought that was considered a bit not-quite-okay, as compared to transgender?

On behalf of all of my people, we forgive you.

At first I was like — WHAT? NO.  And then I was like…oh. Yes.

Mad Men.

Isn't that true of Edward Scissorhands, too, though?  It's been a long time, but I remember coming away from it with the impression that the overall theme was "If you're a freak, stay away from the normals, you'll only ruin them."  I think a lot of Burton's stuff superficially glorifies nonconformity while at the same…
