It's called a blaster, Will, a word that tends to discourage experimentation. Now, if it were called the Orgasmater, I'd be the first to try your basic button press approach.

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

I think it is reasonable to think that they might want to get past the initial 13.

You're actually the first person I've seen suggest that so far.

They may have a specific deal in mind that they're trying to hit a given number of eps for, but my point was that not only is 100 not magical, neither is 88 anymore. Maybe "as many as possible" is a target, but there's no obvious reason they can't go into syndication right now.

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

ita,

it has come up in a few articles I have read.

All the articles I've read so far are "Now they'll have time to end properly."

Aren't they also the creative minds behind Happy Endings, which I've heard is pretty awesome?

It is awesome, but David Caspe is the creator and the Russo Brothers (also executive producers on it) didn't have anything to do with Just Shoot Me so far as I know.

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

From what I've read, the new Community show runners were writers on Happy Endings, created Aliens in America. and were executive producers (maybe show runners? I have already forgotten) of Just Shoot Me.

All the articles I've read so far are "Now they'll have time to end properly."

I can't follow the logic of that.

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

I don't understand what you don't understand...instead of ending abruptly with no pre-knowledge of the number of episodes they have, the difference is that they can actually arc and write an ending to the series.

They still don't know for sure how much time they have left. NBC could order more episodes and a rep has been quoted explicitly saying that the 13 episode orders for 30 Rock and Community do not necessarily signify it's the last season for either.

Also, I cannot imagine what a proper ending would be. This season's finale would have been a good series finale. What's to be resolved in 13 episodes? Not that there aren't stories to be told - I want to stay in this universe and see all the stories - but there aren't a ton of loose threads dangling around.
