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.
AND I HATE PIERCE HAWTHORNE.
He needed to die in all the fires in S2. I was *stunned* when he had moments in S3 where my reaction was not hatred. And I was even a little pissed at "Digital Estate Planning" for making me have a moment of warmth toward him (the "I never had a brother" line, and his interaction with Gilbert after the game was over). I admit, it got to me. (Its airing coincided with my brother going into detox for alcoholism, so I was an easy target, but even so, I wouldn't have thought ANYTHING could made me an easy target for Pierce Hawthorne.)
