"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Finally catching up on the last few eps of Community, and I can't believe they had Vince Gilligan in the role they did. I also recognized Gina Gershon, but who the hell played Annie's brother? IMDB didn't have a credit for him that I could see.

The week before with the Zardoz references had me rolling as well.

Vince Gilligan was hilarious. Annie's brother is Anthony, right? Apparently the actor is on the Community crew and if I paid attention to Harmontown I would know a lot about him? But I don't.

Funnily enough, I did not recognize Gina Gershon even enough to want to look her up. She just seemed kind of familiar.

OK, the brother was Anthony? I'd not kept track of the character's name for some reason, but they did credit him. Although the name the actor had seemed weirdly pretentious, so who knows who was behind that beard.

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

I quit watching HIMYM after... 3 or 4 seasons? I can't remember. But boy, there are a lot of people on my dash who are pissed off about the finale.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Yeah, the TV critics I follow on Twitter were furious.

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

They stuck to the ending they planned in season 2 and then spent seven years working against it and then used it anyway. I liked a lot of the finale, but they ended the entire show wrong.

I feel like they made so many narrative decisions that were lazy, trite and boring. Disappointing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

As I was just saying in Natter, I think it's ridiculous on the face of it that Ted and Robin are Meant To Be, especially so many years later. People actually can get over each other! And Robin and Barney were great together.

Agreed. The whole Destiny business annoys me SO MUCH

Linda Holmes' piece on Monkey See captures exactly how I feel about it.
