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

We were hovering on a trade--Community for AD. I had tried before--I'm watching the pilot now, and I'd seen this before, and I had watched the Charlize Theron eps when they aired (which is why I held out so long), and I've only gotten her to watch the paintball ep and one other Community one so far.

But, since I'm a fabulous big sister, here I go...

Yeah, that makes sense. That was not good.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I didn't think the Theron eps were that bad, but, yeah, the first and second seasons are better.

I recommend the unaired pilot, except for one line that I think is actually funnier in the aired version.

I'll definitely be able to exceed the schedule I've planned--this is enjoyable watching, but it's not rocking my world like Community yet (I'm on the fourth episode)--I think it's because the characters who are not Michael or George Michael are so annoying I want them all pimp slapped. Too many Pierces so far. We'll see.

What's interesting is that I feel disconnected from the pulse. I can't tell what lines are the lines. So I'm gonna have to do some time travelling and find recaps to see what fandom grabbed onto.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

ita, for your t-shirt quote quest, something like "I've made a huge mistake" or "I've made a huge tiny mistake" might work.

Which episode was that in? I did note something like he's my brother and I kind of like him between him and the magician brother.

So much research to do...

Hey. New board.

AD definitely builds over time. Even more than community. So much of what makes it unbelievable in later episodes depends on earlier episodes.

Community: I forgot about "I dId eat all the macaroni. It's messed up that he knows" but it cracks me up.

I kind of liked Annie with Vaughn, is that wrong?

Troy is just full of comedy gold.

Troy is full of comedy gold, but that was a Jeff line.
