The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Though I am making myself watch the earlier S3 episodes before I watch it, and they really weren't all that good.

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

I seem to remember there was some okay, and then pimp slaps of awesome. Before the hiatus, and then after. Of course, I could look back in this thread, or at the ep title list or something, but...work. Comedy's not supposed to be work. Well, not my work. Former life.

In my opinion, the first three were mediocre at best, and then Remedial Chaos Theory was TOTALLY AWESOME and then the Halloween ep was okay, but not S2 good.

That's as far as I have gotten though.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Got my season 3 discs and watched Remedial Chaos Theory again tonight. Perversely this was the first episode of Community I ever watched, but haven't seen it since. Even though I didn't get much of what was going on with the characters the first time I saw it, I thought structurally it was one of the most brilliant...anythings I'd ever seen - movie, stage or TV. Having seen it again with my having watched everything leading up to it - OH MY FUCKING GOD! HOWDIDTHISHAPPEN!?!!?!?

So awesome. So dense in detail. I. AM. IN. AWE. Still...

Kind of like starting Buffy with "Superstar," huh?

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

I watched all the DVD extras (not all the commentaries), and I missed Dan Harmon's grading of the cast. Guess they weren't able to film that what with the...stuff. But the two behind-the-scenes featurettes are good.

Alison Brie needs to stop breaking into white girl rap all the time because it just makes me adore her more and more.

Confession time: (though not for -t, who has already heard this).

While I fricking love Remedial Chaos Theory and think it is amazingly brilliant, I think I actually like the Glee Christmas ep more.
