I'm a vision of hotliness, and how weird is that? Mystical comas. You know, if you can stand the horror of a higher power hijacking your mind and body so that it can give birth to itself, I really recommend 'em.

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

I have to admit I was reluctant to watch Community at first because I thought Chevy Chase had a rep of being a jerk and I just didn't want to watch him.

You're definitely not alone there.

I thought the comment about " the two white girls - the two pretty young girls" sounded racist.

::sigh:: There is that.

I'm wondering if Chase hates sitcoms so much why did he agree to do one? If he needed the money you'd think there would be something else he'd pick.

It may have been appealing to get paid to be an asshole.

Always Anti-fascist!

Of course, I think Clark Griswold is an asshole too. But I understand you're not supposed to think so.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

It would have made perfect sense, plot-wise, to dump his ass at the end of S2. I've actually been mildly amused at Pierce in S3, and much less wanting to kill him with fire.

Which doesn't make Chevy Chase the actor any less of an assbag.

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

Going back to Community the show, I just rewatched the last ep.

Am I the only one who found the final fort face off between Troy and Abed kind of hot, as well as ultimately sad?

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

It made me worried that writers think making them arch-nemesis to each other is the next step. Theoretically I can get behind that, but not on this show. NO!

When they were holding off the mob and protecting the dean, and right after shared a look, that's what makes me sure it will all be all right. Eventually.

Exactly what I was thinking, -t. I'm not worried for the long run.

The look was what I thought was hot.

Abed's watched enough TV to recognize the vice dean's plot, sooner or later.

I can see that. The hotness. Yes.

The vice dean must have watched a lot of Inspector Spacetime to be able to make such persuasive arguments, right?
