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

That was totally a cameo by Dan Harmon, wasn't it?

(I feel like we should whitefont here, but it could also go in Premium where it wouldn't--does that make sense?)

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

YES IT WAS!

I guess technically Netflix would be Premium, but it feels weird not to talk about AD in here. Maybe follow movie rules? Whitefont for two weeks?

Oh, yeah, I hadn't really thought about it, but yeah.

But it's so Comedy with a capital C, it should be here! But I'm only halfway through and don't want to dodge spoilers. But will I avoid reading discussion wherever it happens? Unlikely.

I was actually kind of underwhelmed by the first episode, but it's certainly accumulating nicely. I find that I am already looking forward to the commentary tracks where I hope to find out what decisions were to make production easier/possible, I suspect that will be extremely interesting.

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

That's what I told Juliana yesterday--the first new ep was kind of weak, but since then it has gotten a lot better, and did so pretty quickly.

I am about half way through, but I may need to finish it today before I fall into the work rabbit hole

What ep was Harmon in?

Episode 2. Apparently he is credited as "yurt clerk."

Shit. I meant to spoiler font that. So much for my intentions, forget the rest of my post...

There is really no way I could talk about some of the episodes, because they overlap so much. I feel there's a sixteenth episode that has no new footage (which, really, the fifteenth almost accomplishes) but is a new story and experience because of the context.

Completely not story related--how long did it take you to realise the title cards were changing as well as the narration of the credits?

Maybe 3 or 4 episodes? Early enough that I went back to see the first few again - not watching the whole episode, just checking the titles.

I caught the title card/narration change pretty quickly, but it took me a while to notice that even the theme music was different sometimes. Also, I liked that Lindsay's card changed when she got a haircut.

Right? You can't really talk about the major scenes set up in the premiere because it takes the whole season to get the whole story.

It took a long time for the time spans between events to come into focus--and I did start watching one episode over again by mistake (Tobias going to India) and it took me way too long to realise that I'd seen that before, since it was the second time the first time anyway. Speaking of that event and things that were totally obvious in retrospect-- Maeby as the (don't squeeze the!) shaman.

I just read that Harmon was asked back to Community. And he laughed and said he'd only come back if Chevy did too. I don't even: [link]

Yeah, I'm not sure I completely have a handle on that. Some of the elapsed-times were pretty confusing.

One episode left for me, I'm gonna wait a bit before I finish it off because, I don't know why, but I am. I expect this will be a rewarding season to rewatch, but I also imagine that watching just one episode will always be difficult.

I don't know how to react to Harmon.
