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?

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

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

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

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.

OH MY GOD I didn't get the "don't squeeze the shaman" joke. But holy crap, when it turned out that it was Maeby ahahahaha.

After a while, I started paying attention to every little thing because I knew it would turn out to be important somehow. But I didn't quite get the significance of the various cars that crashed in the intersection.

There will be more, right? Right?

Four seasons and a movie!
