RandomAct Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I can only hope the head of NBC made McHale sing "Kiss From a Rose" with him to get Harmon back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Wait did they actually announce that this is the last season? No. It's just generally assumed to be the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fresh Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 No. It's just generally assumed to be the case.I figure bringing Dan Harmon back and then moving it to a midseason replacement is Sony's way of letting all their enemies burn together.

_MJ_ Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Does Community have a panel at Comic-Con this year? If it does, should we just start taking bets now on when Dan Harmon will issue his apology for whatever he's going to say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Fresh Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Dan said on Harmontown last week he's sick of apologizing for things he's not sorry about. Which probably means nothing. Side note: I have developed a huge crush on Dan's girlfriend and I'm beginning to resent Dan for having her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Unholy Dragon Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Let's be real. Every season of Community is the Final Season until it isn't. Who seriously saw it getting a fifth season? And with Harmon back to boot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_MJ_ Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 The show is so close to realizing its, "SIX SEASONS AND A MOVIE!" mantra, it almost feels right to cancelled it after its 5th season. A cruel, meta-twist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomAct Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 I am laboring through Season 4 as we speak. This has not been good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elizium Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 I am laboring through Season 4 as we speak. This has not been good. There are some good things. Britta kills it all year, I especially liked the Thanksgiving episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomAct Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 The Thanksgiving episode had funny moments, but it was a huge point in a big problem for me in this season. The show is trying to be about something. It's trying to have a narrative and a cohesive plot. Community is supposed to be random bullshit where you know none of it really matters. The only real continuity the show should have is that Chang is a jackoff, there is a dark timeline, and that Abed is a weirdo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The show has always been good at balancing the off the wall conceptual stuff with continuity and grounded characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomAct Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 I always looked at the attempts at grounding the characters as being very tongue in cheek, with the possible exception of Shirley, and to a lesser extent Abed. I always felt like the show is more enjoyable once you understand that none of it matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fresh Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 I'm really fucking bummed that Donald Glover is only gonna be on 5 episodes this year. Though he is set to blow-up into a mega superstar any day now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always felt like the show is more enjoyable once you understand that none of it matters. Having watched the whole run over like, two months, then rewatched most of it again...yeah, I can say you're a bit off base here. There's a TON of building plotlines and character arcs each season. That's not to say the next season won't often cause them to backslide some, but that kind of development's always been there and is very much a part of the show's framework.

MGFanJay Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 I basically marathon-viewed S4 over the past few days thanks to the DVD and I really like it. Nothing tops S2, but overall, I actually like it more than S3 - which did have the greatness of the RPG episode. Gillian Jacobs was the fucking star of it though - she goes from hot in her panties, to wacky changing, and then DRESSING UP AS A HAM AND BEING SILLY. From there, she becomes a more mature character and turns her meddling into a huge plus by reuniting Jeff with his dad in one of the show's most touching bits yet.

Jingus Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 I liked the 4th season, but it just didn't feel quite like the same show. Sort of like "hey, Darren looks completely different... dammit Samantha, what spell did you cast?!" They were doing things that Harmon never would have, which has its pros and cons. But has this ever really happened before? Has a creator been kicked off his own show, we watch what happens without them, and then they come back? Count me in as another guy who can't believe that Community even got to its fifth season. This show is TOO good, these things are supposed to be Fireflied or Deadwooded into oblivion.

Big Fresh Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Yvette Nicole Brown tweeted a photo of CM Punk visiting her on set (they're friends... Which is unexpected). No word on if he was there to do a guest spot or cameo yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jrag Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 I read somewhere that Mike from Breaking Bad is going to be on Community next season!!! I guess they are shooting season 5 in Belize. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No word on if he was there to do a guest spot or cameo yet.I'd file that under the same heading as the Nathan Fillion pic that got us all hot and bothered a year or two ago, that being "Every celebrity with a brain just wants the experience of having been near this show".

SUPrUNown Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Ummmm...... how are they going to do another season? I thought last year was "the end". Joel McHale got his degree, ferchrissakes. How are they going to work out of THAT plot hole? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
