There were other episodes, too, that he commented people (fans) were being negative towards…and I only had love for those episodes. I don't even remember what ones, but I couldn't help but think he was talking to the weirdest subset of people who were disappointed.

The mere fact that he critiques himself in that manner is why Community ISN'T like anything else on television, and nothing may ever be again. It's pretty clear Community's meta self-reflective nature is mostly because that's exactly how Dan Harmon is in real life.

Okay, for sure, I will definitely give you grand overarching themes like that (I mean, it does deal with the justice system and use of force), but  I can't imagine Todd writing up 3,000 words on NCIS like he could for Mad Men, even though both shows may share the same themes week to week. I think it's the format of…

Why did they not air it in the US? Was it a licensing thing?

Cool! Will definitely make a list. It's time to convert some people (more people, other than the 12 people that watch it with me).

I think that season 2's premiere, plus "Practice Date" and "Greg Pikitis" are good ones, but I'm the weirdo who thinks season 2 is an awesome season, even despite having Mark Brandanoquits there.

I remember that this is one of the only episodes that deals with death in a way that plays it for both comedy and heart.

I really loved the parallels between Jeff becoming a leader and Troy eventually taking his place over the past couple of seasons, especially in RCT. At the end of the season it really does seem like Troy could be a leader, maybe THE leader (he's already a messiah), and he's proven that by his romance with Britta, his…
