Aside from the technological implausibilities, it worked for me. I like how they sort of skated around the idea of outright telling us OH HE'S DEAD BY THE WAY.

It's good to have you back, Community.

Anyone else feel weird doing this without… Magnitude?

My grades were pretty high at the time as well, but I probably wouldn't adjust them, probably because it was like grading an entirely different show. I rewatched some season 4 the other day, and I was still able to enjoy it to an extent, though I did mentally distance it from Community as we know and love it.

"A divisive episode that is viewed as one of the better episodes by many here while also being hated by some."

I'm gonna guess he'll be involved at the Luncheonette somehow. But that's a completely random guess.

I don't think this was ever posted, but Zachary Knighton tweeted a while back that he's going to be guesting on Parenthood, and the wording of his tweet makes it sound like it'll be a recurring role. So good news for us Happy Endings/Parenthood fans!

Interesting that Cooperative Polygraphy apparently features Abed's Crazy Quilt of Destiny (which is his theory from Heroic Origins that the group was predestined to meet, in case anyone decided to block that from their memory). Seeing as I expected Harmon to almost completely ignore season 4, it'll be very interesting…

I'm in New York right now and I just passed by the NBC building. I did my part to strongly express a general disappointed sentiment in their general direction.

They showed an episode of The Blacklist on the plane last night. It was pretty stupid, but the funniest part was the way American Airlines had to censor the word "bomb" and other related words. It made certain sentences sound unspeakably filthy.

Is that last bit supposed to be even remotely vague? I mean, there's really only one thing that that could possibly mean.

For the record, this episode title is one that people would totally be complaining about as symptomatic of the decline of the show, if this were season 4.

Solid A.

I'm actually really surprised at how abruptly the season dropped focus on them in the second half, after spending so much time with them in the first half. I never had a big problem with their storylines like other people seemed to.

Oh, wow. That could have easily been the series finale. And a great one, at that.

Nevermind, actually, I saw it wrong. Shirley's at her usual spot. which would put her next to Hickey if he sits in Pierce's spot. We've seen clips of Chang sitting both next to Jeff and in Troy's old spot, so I'm guessing the three empty spots will have many people in and out of them.

Yvette also says in her video that she gets to sit next to Jonathan Banks's character, and another behind the scenes clip on that same channel shows Shirley sitting in Troy's spot at the table. Hmm.

SPECULATIVE SPOILERS

"You stomped on the grave of a real monster who was willing to stay buried."

Troy's vehement indignation at Zach Braff leaving Scrubs was a pretty funny meta-joke.
