Thrive to spite them

After seeing everyone rave about Community, and realizing it's on Hulu Plus I finally started watching.

So far only the first episode and I think I like it.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

We watched "Paradigms of Human Memory" tonight.

OH MY GOD, THIS SHOW. Who would go to that much effort? To make all-new "clips," I mean. And now I know where "6 seasons and a movie!" comes from. (Plus, that scene was fucking hilarious.)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

OH MY GOD, THIS SHOW. Who would go to that much effort?

RIGHT??? I just. I just. And how epic was the Jeff-speech montage?

"The important thing about these speeches...is that they are all different..." I'm paraphrasing. There was a lot of awesome in that episode.

I'm watching Regional Holiday Music again because it's on, and I'm thinking the premise is kind of similar to Once More With Feeling. One of our heroes makes a deal with a musical demon to bring a little levity...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

American Airlines showed Chaos Theory on one of my flights. I was beside myself with delight. Motherfucking god.

I was watching all the Parks and Rec and 30 Rock and that new baby sitcom go by, and wondering why Community got short shrift, and then suddenly Jeff was tossing dice and my headphones were in. I can never see that too often, and caught something I'd missed the previous x times.

What something? There's so much detail to catch.

I went ahead and bought all 3 seasons on iTunes, partially to be an asset in the network decision-making game, but mostly because I know there will be times when I will be really happy to have a particular episode available through my phone.

I *think* it was clearly catching all of Pierce's asides about Eartha Kitt. I knew what he was talking about each time, but I didn't hear it every time.

I showed my sister the Troy-gets-pizza scene, since we were websurfing together, and although she won't watch the show past the first paintball ep, she was pretty tolerant of me crying with laughter. And, yeah, she laughed too.
