Also just noticed that when Pierce accidentally calls his mom, she says she saw his father's ghost again, which they cover in Advanced Gay with Pierce saying his Mom liked to pretend his dad was dead. Nice continuity lamp shading.

Nice. I had never noticed that fix before.

Okay, I just had to stop this week's Mentalist because of the conviction that that new guy was faking it, and I did actually remember before reaching IMDB that it's the "fake" professor from Community and he's not actually new.

However, rolling around in the memories of the conspiracy episode finally got me to realise it needs to be screened alongside "Pier Pressure" from AD. Both do their own thing with lampshading the idiocy of the trope and both are very successful.

Though I have my preference.

Chevy Chase is leaving Community. Too little too late if you ask me.

Indeed

Oh no, what will we ever do without Pierce, he was my favorite character.

I was just coming to post a link to that. [link]

I'm not sure what to make of it. I mean, I'm still hoping for a season 5, but I'm not exactly confident it's coming, so this seems like a trivial development. They're almost done filming this season, right?

Yeah, looks like only the last couple episodes haven't been filmed. Maybe they'll kill him off offscreen or something.

But apparently the finale has already been filmed.

I'd be happier if he left the planet, but I guess that's a different kind of contract.

Chevy Chase is leaving Community. Too little too late if you ask me.

Please tell me he's going to die in all the fires.
