Emmy noms are out: [link]

I am not surprised Community did not get any noms but honestly, FOUR supporting actor nominations for Modern Family? I've never watched it but understand it is a pretty funny show. But seriously, four? They couldn't spare one for Danny Pudi or Nick Offerman from Park and Recs?

ETA: as a consolation, here is an adorable pic of Community gang cosplaying as the Avengers, including Britta being, well, Britta: [link]

Awards, man, I so rarely understand them. That picture's reallly cute, though, esp. Shirley with the Hulk hands.

Yesterday my daily dose of Community brought me Football, Feminism, and You from the first season, including Troy's admission that he missed being the best at something. His character arc is so interesting.

"Who's the redhead? All the women are accounted for. Is it Annie? No, Annie's Hawkeye. Who— ...oh."

And the answer to that question comes with a hearty "of course!"

Shirley as Hulk is particularly apt. Girlfriend has some deep-seated anger issues, dude.

Football, Feminism, and You

One of my early favourites!

Jeff: I'm saying you are a football player. It's in your blood.
Troy: That's racist.
Jeff: Your soul.
Troy: THAT's racist.
Jeff: Your eyes?
Troy: That's gay
Jeff: That's homophobic.
Troy: That's black
Jeff: That's racist!
Troy: DAMN.

I love that exchange so much!

"Your name BEGINS WITH 'T'!"

And that conversation between Jeff and Annie, with Annie walking away with that wounded backward look that launched a thousand shippers!

How much would it have blown Annie's mind if someone from the future had visited her high school self and told her she'd be living with Troy in just a few years?

It's funny, watching the early episodes now, every time I see the foosball table in the background I imagine it calling seductively to Shirley and Jeff - plaaay meeeee.

They did get one for writing! For Remedial Chaos Theory. If you have to choose only one (which you don't have to, but whatever), that's a good one.

Up against two Parks &Rec eps that were also excellent, an okay Louie ep (ok for that show, which is generally good but weird and this particular episode was neither as good nor as weird as others for my taste), and Girls, which I don't watch.
