Documentary Filmmaking: Redux is my nomination for most underrated Community episode. Guzman is so perfectly deployed in it

Dan has said many times that the first D&D ep is his favorite episode of the show, so if S5 is going to cannibalize anything it's going to be D&D. As long as we never get to the level of S3's fake clip show I think we'll be fine, but it does seem like they're repeating the formula of "D&D game that actually represents…
What the hell has Neil Gaiman done that's morally bankrupt? Unless the very act of marrying someone makes you responsible for everything they do (which it doesn't)
To be fair, Dad's Dungeon is one of the best episodes of the show. However, this episode was very slight, and this season as a whole is probably thinner as a whole than previous seasons (at least so far).
[FARTS WITH MODERATED ANTICIPATION]
You bring up a salient point in that S3 didn't use guest stars nearly as effectively as S1 and S2 did. I guess that's another area where we just have to go "I hope they do better than S3!"
The diverse set of circumstances in which Magic references come from out of the blue never cease to surprise me.
I actually talked with one of the animators at ILM who was working on Noah. He basically just said it was pretty crazy and creative, and not what you'd expect at all out of a Noah biopic… which pretty much means Paramount is going to cut the shit out of it
Thanks for touching on how unsatisfying Jesse's arc has been in Season 5, because that really gets me. I mean, depressed Jessie scenes were repetitive, but at least they made sense; it might not be fun to watch someone break down over and over again, but considering what's weighing on him it's understandable. But…
I mean, there are spots of emotional seriousness. The season 2 premiere, with the group breakdown not being played for laughs and Abed giving his little speech ("I know life from TV, Jeff. TV has likable leading men. In real life, we have this. We have you.") kind of qualifies as dark, kind of? The "darkest timeline"…
Hey, this role sounds like it'll be a great opportunity for Cranston to play frustration and maybe some pride like he does so well, and the subject matter seems really interesting too. I wonder what auteur is heading this project…
I liked what I saw of this show, but I found myself wishing it were less manic. My favorite cartoons are probably Courage the Cowardly Dog and Adventure Time, and both shows know how to use space to build jokes or ideas; Wander felt like an excellent concept crammed into ADD time.
Oh shit
Yeah, if the show had longer seasons or more time for diversions in general, that would be a really cool runner. The idea kind of reminds me of Tale of the Black Freighter from Watchmen, in that it's a parallel story not directly but thematically related
See, I've always thought of her as Lawful Neutral, not chaotic at all. She has her own set of rules, and she uses them to elevate order above all else. She genuinely cares for her subjects, but she has no qualms about doing the most logical thing to keep them safe.
Because she's been 18 for a good while.
It was pretty scattered. No part of it was bad, but it defies a single focus in a way different from nearly every other AT episode. It wasn't "Finn and Jake venture into the Land of the Dead," it was "A collection of scenes that have some character work and jokes and the end result is that FP is King now."
SNL does indeed still have its fake gameshow/talkshow segments go on interminably long, until you find yourself gazing into the abyss and finding only Kenan Thompson staring back.
The beginning of this episode
Reminded me of how much I love Fry. Just his blank stare makes me happy.
I like to think Fry was terrified every time he saw the balloons and was then immediately talked down.
