"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.

I am not surprised Community did not get any noms

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.

I saw a couple of girls the other day that looked like they'd walked right out of Girls. And? I judge, I judge. They didn't look good. I suspect RuPaul would not approve.

Today's daily dose of Community = Interpretive Dance. More Troy dancing, please! I had forgotten all of the non-dance related plots. Did we ever find out who the Dean rated #1? And, hey, I believe that's the first reference to Jim Belushi -they keep going to that well, but it keeps being funny. Also, I love this tag, with the crossword and " I love misdirects" "I love The Big Lebowski".

I am apparently still annoyed at Harmon for saying he was creatively hamstrung during the first season, because the first season was really good. More conventional than 2&3, but not by that much, and chock full of character growth and emotional through lines.

So, Community. What's a favorite moment for you(se)? I think my favorite comedy moment, the one that made laugh the loudest, was when Troy was trying to get out of having started to say that Jeff was about to, "...fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii..ght," to Shirley and just couldn't sound his way out. And then when Jeff tried it and couldn't either and was like, "yeah, there is really no good way to end that.". Troy's delivery, and the expression on his face were just so perfect. I love that moment and rank it very high on my list of TV favorite moments of all time. And it's weirdly non-pivotal in the general scheme, but so good.

It is a wonderful moment.

I think one of my favorite moments was just realizing what sort of episode "Remedial Chaos Theory" was going to be. Because I had zero knowledge about the episode going in, and when the die was rolled initially, I thought, cute, but are they going to...

And then they did.

VAMPIRE ARMS

That's funny - I'm pretty sure that reading about that ep here is what convinced me to start watching. I hadn't been in this thread for a while. Chalk one up for good timing, or good picking where to start reading again fu, maybe.
