I hadn't watched any of it, but kept seeing it being mentioned flatteringly. My only sitcom was Raising Hope, though, and I was pretty content with that. Then the # of mentions on IO9 of geek-friendly content became too much, and by the time they revealed the Firefly death pact, I just had to go look. I was home sick for a day, mainlined season 1, and now I'm a raging raving born-again Community fan, probably one of the worst kinds.
Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

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

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I have to admit, the Chase factor kept me away, and probably would have kept doing so, if people here hadn't been talking about it.

I find I like Chevy Chase even less after becoming a Community fan¹, but I can handle Pierce appropriately. I don't find him a Rygel (which I never quite forgave Farscape for), because even though he's despicable, it does seem to be clear why he's a regular. I do miss Chang a bit, since they toned him down this season. That's the kind of nasty I'm wholeheartedly behind.
¹: I skip the commentaries he's on, and I don't watch much cast stuff that he appears in. He just spoils it for me.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Since the show doesn't need me to like Pierce, I mind Chevy less than I thought I would. He doesn't even ruin the commentaries for me, though he doesn't add value.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I'm sure it had nothing to do with this.

I watched that after the Firefly clips, so technically, it wasn't my primary impetus.

You know what I did cave and watch with your recommendations directly in mind, bon? Archer. And I'm enjoying the fuck out of it. I should listen more, fine.
But, Jesus, it's so fucking wrong.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
But, Jesus, it's so fucking wrong.
It's even better in the second season!

Well, right now I'm in the middle of the cancer subplot in the second season, which I totally don't need, but hey. I'm the sensitised one.
However, that was kinda well handled.
