Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

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

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.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

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.)

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

What are your (plural) top five Community eps?

Top five tags?

I don't know if I can get either down to five. I'll give it some thought, though. I definitely gravitate towards the high concept episodes - Epidemiology, Chaos Theory, Pillows and Blankets, Lupine Urology. But also all the finales. And tags are even harder - my favorite at any given time is most likely to be the one I saw most recently.

I am watching Lupine Urology again, and remembering good bits from the commentary, so that might be a good commentary to try, Lee.

Maybe I will try that commentary tonight!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

JZ, Emmett and I have just started watching Community, btw.

Yay! I predict you will all enjoy it very much.

I just told Emmett that the first season is good but the second season is supposed to be stellar.

"So it gets funnier!?!"
