Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I've been rewatching Community season 2 this weekend, and I would feel so much better if I could convince myself that the season ended with someone hitting Pierce in the face with a shovel.

I watched the first ten minutes or so last month after watching the original and was astounded at how strangely unfunny it was, especially given how closely they were adhering to the original, even down to the costuming and set. Or perhaps because. The whole "Use the exact script as the British series" never works.

I wish him luck getting to the grumpy showrunner niche. I'm assuming he wants to be lucrative enough to be indulged in his...ways.
And part of me is convinced he means "fewer ideas", but hey--he's the professional, so I'ma let him finish. I'm sure there's an argument to be made.

They also tried Fawlty Towers, though I don't know if it was the same script.
And Red Dwarf.
