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

I can't find a date easily beyond a vague Jan 13.

All I've heard is early January.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The Venture Brothers Haloween Special airs next Sunday.

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

So, I'm watching Regional Holiday Music again, as one does, and this is the first time I've noticed that when Abed sings that "this December would be the December of our December" line, the clock that appears has 11 pictures, though the hand points to about 8 (which is a nice nod to Abed not being able to read analog clocks) and all the little pictures are recognizable moments from past episodes in chronological order (I think, there are a couple that I'm not sure about just because the images are pretty small).

Cool.

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

So my friends were voting for the Hugos, but they had not seen "Remedial Chaos Theory" or, in fact, any Community at all! I decided that was just not right, so I am putting together a marathon of episodes leading up to "Remedial Chaos Theory."

What 9 episodes would you show to lead up to "Remedial Chaos Theory"?

This is also a get-hooked-on-the-show marathon, obvs, so that should be taken into account as well. "Modern Warfare" is a must because it was my first episode, so I'm sticking it in there, and they are the target audience for "Advanced Dungeons and Dragons." So that leaves 7ish more episodes (I may extend the marathon to 11 or 12 episodes if I can't decide on 10). It's so hard to choose! I think a lot of my favorite episodes are in season two, but season one has some good ones as well. Which episodes are most relevant to an appreciation of "Remedial Chaos Theory," however?

I'm thinking they might like the Abed Christmas episode and the zombie episode. I do love the two-part season 2 finale, but with a limited amount of time, I don't want to spend so much time on paintball.

okay, swap an ep out for the 8-bit video game ep and/or the shirley/jeff fuzeball ep

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

I know claymation episode is special, but the first season Christmas episode is funnier and would be friendlier to newbies. It's one of my personal faves anyway, so that's my vote. (Anthony Michael Hall and the cast of Breakin'! Troy's Forrest Whitaker face! The fight montage to Florence Welch!)

I would also put in a plug for one of the show's most perfect non-event episodes, "Cooperative Calligraphy" or the Bottle Episode.

My picks:

Introduction to Statistics
Comparative Religion
Physical Education
Modern Warfare
Epidemiology
Cooperative Calligraphy
Advanced Dungeons and Dragons

The second season two-part paintball eps are awesome but requires too much backstory and less fab without knowing all the stuff that came before. Ditto the clip episode.

Those are after "Remedial Chaos Theory," though.

The two-parter is pretty relevant for the group dynamics, though, now that I think about it.

Hm.
