I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Season 2 was harder, but I think I've got it.

Fundamentals of Flight
Epidemiology
Abed's Uncontrollable Christmas
Paradigms of Human Memory
Fistful of Paintballs
For a Few Paintballs More

Already, I am regretting several that had to be left off, but I will stick with those.

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

My sister's Community-AD overlap count is up to 6 actors, 1 "Pop pop" and the usage of the "we're not switching it on to the exact relevant point of the news" gag.

She's not doing it in a ripoff way (well, the gag she did side eye a little--I said it was clear they had similar grasps of reality), but more in a "they play in the same space!" way.

I would say I'd love to read crossover fic, but then--I can't imagine how hard it would be to write good fic of one of the shows, never mind both. Good lord. Why don't we cross over West Wing and The Wire while we're going nuts?

You are blowing my mind. I can't even really imagine that kind of crossover fic.

Although a scenario where, say, Buster decided to take a ceramics class does immediately suggest itself.

Unrelatedly, I watched the chicken fingers episode today and had the alarming thought that maybe losing that job was what drove Starburns to start dealing drugs. Probably not, right?

Because books.

I just saw Danny Pudi on Gilmore Girls! He's on the staff of the Yale paper.

Always Anti-fascist!

I wish somebody would, but if they did, all I would do is read their fic.

I think the drugs were seeded earlier than that, -t. I seem to remember being surprised at how early they were mentioned with respect to him during my last rewatch.

Oh, good! The earliest I could remember was the student government elections, but I haven't watched most of season 1 in a couple months, and that wasn't something I was looking for at the time.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

From Twitter:

To repeat: NBC reps confirm COMMUNITY and WHITNEY will not debut on 10/19 as planned. Insiders say network felt it needed more tie to market

Nooooooooo.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

network felt it needed more tie to market

I don't understand that wording. Is it an incomplete sentence?

(I'm trying to ignore the not-premiering part.)

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

I don't understand that wording. Is it an incomplete sentence?

I think it's a typo. They need more time to market.
