Most of the commentaries are great, actually. I just skip any with Chevy Chase.

I paused the data overlay screens in the RoboBitch episode, and Abed notes that he's charting the women's cycles (next episode), that he wants Starburns on T&A AM (tag), and that he wants to build a pillow fort (two episods in). As well as evolving episode synopses. Not sure why I hadn't checked that before.

Also reminders to record Cougar Town and to get Rudolph for Dec 9. There is a lot of detail in those.

I don't know that I could recommend any of the commentaries if you don't already like watching commentaries, Lee. And the ones I liked best, I remember that they were really interesting but not which episodes they were for. Choosing based on who is on them is wise, though - avoid Chevy Chase and the one from, I think, season 2 that lists Robert Smigel I really hated a lot.

Oh, ha, might as well confess that after I watched Cooperative Calligraphy I bought a dozen purple pens with gel grips. Because I could.

Well, that's fair. If you don't like commentaries, I don't think these are the ones that will change your mind. But if you're interested in them in general, they're a decent overall mix of informative and entertaining.

I hadn't realised how solidly golden the tags are. Well, up until S3, where they derail a bit. But I just watched the D&D episode (man, Chevy Chase makes me feel like a rookie TV watcher, what with my assumptions of actor/character bleed and shit) and the one where they walk into the room with the Asian women is so short and simple and perfect...

AND I HATE PIERCE HAWTHORNE.

Giant ears or tail, that one? That's a gem.

Where do you think the tags derailed? I kind of don't like when they tie into the main action too much, personally.

I remember being disappointed with the start of season 3, but I'll have to rewatch to be sure exactly where. I'm not sure why I thought S3 would get here before I was done S2--it will be here mid next week. I'll be done S2 today.

Oh, no, you aren't supposed to have a gap!

I'm also not supposed to watch one season in a day, so I'll pay the price without grumbling too much.

Maybe commentaries and special features, but I might also need to switch shows for a bit. You know--four or so days.

It's remarkable how sad this show is. If you only look at Abed--the character everyone's supposed to like. Season 2 he has one huge break at Christmas, and then a pretty rough time at his birthday. Pierce is continually twisted and miserable, Britta is the worst, Jeff is lying to phone sex operators, Chang is psychotic--these people are flat out...let's just say, go Troy! He's doing pretty well, all told.

It's pretty sad that I had to image google to work out which characters most of the Pulp Fiction References are to. My knowledge only goes as far as SLJ, Travolta, and Uma. I had to look the rest up.

That's some seriously continuous Community watching. Bravo.

It's pretty damned sad--in a glorious way. I'm on disk 4--just finished Competitive Wine Tasting, and I think that's the first tag I didn't think was remotely funny. Which is a pretty dammed good run.
