Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, that one was good times.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I fell out laughing when they compared dreams, said "Dave is Freddy Krueger-ing us in our dreams...with sex," and Dave walked into the restaurant wearing that striped sweater and the Freddie-esque hat.

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

Chevy Chase in freud with Dan Harmon on "Community."

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

You better not edit that post.

I promise I won't.

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

Ugh, I hope that doesn't have negative ramifications for the show. That's kinda...I don't want to think about stuff like that happening on my favourite sitcom, but I do feel something akin to schadenfreude that Chase is involved. However, I can't quite wrap my head around what Harmon is doing.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Yeah, it doesn't sound like Harmon is really taking the high road.

Now, is he pulling other people in because he's that arrogant that he thinks they'll flock to him, or is it common knowledge on set and everyone feels that way?

Either way, it's not grownup behaviour, but it does make a small difference.

Either way, doing it in front of Chase's wife and daughter seems pretty far over the line.

Maybe he was including them too. That would be the nice...no, there's really no way around that. I just wanna know if this is feud, or Chevy is a long-time dick on set, and Dan snapped and started acting like an asshole (or maybe he's been being an asshole too for a while--who knows?).

However, I do feel a little "aha!" at my feeling that the boisterous free-flowing dynamic that the cast has in appearances and stuff seems stilted when Chevy's around, but I can't really say if that's confirmation bias or not.
