Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

So while I've been side-lined by my leg problems, I mainlined the rest of season 1 of Community to cheer me up. OMG - I finally saw the (first) Paintball episode. That was so made of awesome I can't even articulate. I'm now starting on season 2.

Among other things, this is the best-directed TV comedy I've ever seen outside of Spaced. The paintball episode and the Goodfingers episode are amazingly well made. Also, Dani Pudi cracking up in the out-takes is up there with Nimoy cracking up in the ones from TOS.

In conclusion: ''Troy and Abed in the Morning!"

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

I usually want to know, but with Community I'm especially curious about what's improv and what isn't.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Coincidentally, I am finally watching Spaced. I see what you mean by the comparison, I think, Frank. And I'm glad you've been able to use your recovery time to watch Community!

So...you had sex before you kissed?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

the pilot episode of the US version of Spaced is so fucking awful.

Just bad shit.

I have seen the original Spaced all the way through like 3-4 times. I watch it often.

Hey. New board.

I also just finished Community Season 1. It was very good. Last moment is a little WTF, but whatever.

I watched Laser Fart back in the day, but I didn't realize it was Dan Harmon!

Got through all of disc 1 of Community season 2 (and started on disc 2). Loved season 2's Halloween episode!
