I've already noticed hinky shit with comment histories. I went looking for some old Community comments and found that mine (and a few other regulars') were attributed to Guest.

It drives me crazy because I assume a big factor in the expense is filming all over the world. But the S2 finale gave them a great excuse to limit their scope for a wrap-up movie or season. This feels like a real failure of financial imagination.

I definitely thought she meant that she had to have hardwood. There's no way someone like Piper would be anti-hardwood.

I'm starting to really worry about where all this leaves the prison (both in terms of the show and the characters themselves). I feel like tying their demands to the riot may have been a disastrous (if entirely understandable) move. As they lose one bargaining chip after another I have to think that MCC would see any

I did like that they didn't have a moment together. This show gets a fair bit of mileage out of unlikely pairings and empathy, but it can't go that way all the time.

Yeah, it's hard to imagine how Alison would be the one in jail for that. It did make me a bit more curious about what she did actually do, though.

I couldn't get my head around what Yoga was thinking at all. That said, the moment when the Nazis we're trying to throw Judy off the roof and she's calling out was quite tense and upsetting (even if I never thought she was in real danger).

*self-deprecating eye roll/grimace*

Honestly, she shouldn't even have to listen to Xan. Kimmy is, in some ways, still a 13-year-old girl and any 13-year-old girl would know instinctively that no one wants stories told about how they wet the bed. Why Kimmy is so blindly mean on this point is strange. It doesn't seem like Kimmy to be passive-aggressive,

While the Trolley Problem sounds sort of silly when applied to people there's some pretty interesting debate about how it might be applied to self-driving cars. In theory some programmer actually has to determine the "right" choice (for some value of "right") and make the car do that, which is kind of crazy and might

I still don't know what Takis are. Either I'm out of touch or these characters do too much meth.

It felt really perfunctory and oddly dated. Like, how many times have I seen that exact same portrayal of sororities?

Ugh, that was so depressing, he was one of the best ones.

Bell had a small role in this season of Kimmy Schmidt and I was like "Bell!" Probably super unrealistic that most or any of them would be hired back, but I share your dream. One of the interesting things last season did was illustrate what a difference baseline competence makes in running a place like this. I honestly

They're definitely treading a line, and it feels unstable to me, like if it turns out the writers do think they're writing a rehab arc I wouldn't be shocked. But it reads to me like "look at what I do, not what I say". Even when he was telling her that he understood what he'd done wrong last season, he was doing it by

(And, I'm not saying Daya would definitely give it up. But I see Gloria starting with a straightforward demand. I do not see her potentially giving her surrogate daughter a head injury, at least not at this point.)

Daya and Gloria have a very different relationship, though. Much more maternal.

Miles, I think an easy explanation for the guards seeing the video is that the PR guy posted it to MCC's Twitter. Or he used his own, but it's still in their orbit. What's weird to me is that the local cops seemed so out of the loop, but I'm unclear on how much time has passed.

Which part felt like rehab? I think intruding on Pennsa's personal space even from his ceiling hideout is a good indicator that he hasn't really changed and doesn't even know what that would look like, despite what he and even she would like to believe.

I don't know, I see Gloria as just asking for the gun and being pretty confident that Day would hand it over. Also, having Daya running around pretending to be armed paints a target on her. I'd be disappointed if pragmatic, thoughtful Gloria went that route.
