I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That's some seriously continuous Community watching. Bravo.

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

It's pretty damned sad--in a glorious way. I'm on disk 4--just finished Competitive Wine Tasting, and I think that's the first tag I didn't think was remotely funny. Which is a pretty dammed good run.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

AND I HATE PIERCE HAWTHORNE.

He needed to die in all the fires in S2. I was *stunned* when he had moments in S3 where my reaction was not hatred. And I was even a little pissed at "Digital Estate Planning" for making me have a moment of warmth toward him (the "I never had a brother" line, and his interaction with Gilbert after the game was over). I admit, it got to me. (Its airing coincided with my brother going into detox for alcoholism, so I was an easy target, but even so, I wouldn't have thought ANYTHING could made me an easy target for Pierce Hawthorne.)

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

What are your (plural) top five Community eps?

Top five tags?

I don't know if I can get either down to five. I'll give it some thought, though. I definitely gravitate towards the high concept episodes - Epidemiology, Chaos Theory, Pillows and Blankets, Lupine Urology. But also all the finales. And tags are even harder - my favorite at any given time is most likely to be the one I saw most recently.

I am watching Lupine Urology again, and remembering good bits from the commentary, so that might be a good commentary to try, Lee.

It is hard, ian't it?

Maybe I will try that commentary tonight!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

JZ, Emmett and I have just started watching Community, btw.

I just told Emmett that the first season is good but the second season is supposed to be stellar.

"So it gets funnier!?!"

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I am bad with names, but. First paintball episode, Glee episode, video game episode, Ken Burns episode, and the space shuttle episode.

Yes, I like gimmicks, it's just off the top of my head, DON'T HOLD ME TO IT.
