COMMUNITY: Alternative History of the German Invasion

COMMUNITY -- "Alternative History of the German Invasion" Episode 402

Once upon a time when I was a college student, I was (and still am) a Historian. There are many different ways to write a narrative of historical events and so just knowing that this episode is going to focus on that is making me smile. The study group is worried about their History class and just as they watch ... Read More »

COMMUNITY: Conventions of Space and Time

COMMUNITY -- "Conventions of Space and Time" Episode 404

I find the arrival of this episode very fortitous after the show’s delay because it comes just after Gallifrey One, a well-respected and well-attended Doctor Who convention in Los Angeles. As “Inspector Spacetime” is a very awesome homage to that show. But now I feel really awkward watching this opening as Troy and Britta are watching an old episode before ... Read More »

COMMUNITY: Paranormal Parentage

COMMUNITY -- Episode 403

Welcome to Halloween on Valentine’s Day everyone! Well, at least at Greendale. The gang has some interesting costumes this year: Shirley is Princess Leia to Andre’s Han Solo with the twins as Storm Troopers and the baby as an Ewok, while Troy and Britta are Hobbes and Ham to Abed’s Calvin, Jeff is a boxer and Annie is the girl ...

Introduction to the Humanities: CommuniCon 2013

photo(10)

For two days at Los Angeles City College last week, fans of NBC’s Community gathered to celebrate a show that has meant so much and defined so much of their understanding of television and the media. Organized by a fan after the success of PixelDrip’s “Six Seasons and an Art Show” over the summer in Los Angeles, the con was ... Read More »

COMMUNITY: History 101

COMMUNITY -- "History 101" Episode 401

So it feels like I’ve been away from Greendale far too long. Like I took a semester off school and just sat around my house doing nothing (well almost nothing) and now that Community is back, I feel like my world is complete and I can feel good about leaving my room for a few hours every day. Though, I ... Read More »

COMMUNITY: Pillow Forts, New Showrunners, and More

Community

For a show that might owe its fans six seasons and a movie, Community knows how to rise from the ashes of near cancellation and bring out scores of dedicated fans for a Friday morning panel in Ballroom 20 at Comic Con. In a room that was filled with a few thousand Firefly fans as well, the panel bridged the ... Read More »

DON’T TRUST THE B–Mean Girls… and Dating Games…

KRYSTEN RITTER, DREAMA WALKER

News today has suggested that ABC will not be airing any further episodes of Don’t Trust the B–, so these recaps for last week will be a fond farewell… I worry about the continuity of this show as now June doesn’t have a job again? What happened to that last one? June, after Chloe’s had another busy night, convinces Chloe ... Read More »

LEVERAGE: The Toy Job; The Long Goodbye Job

leverage-finale

Since TNT announced last week that Leverage was not being picked up for a sixth season, I’m going to combine the final two episodes into one recap. It also has more to do with some horrible planning on my part with delayed watching. The Toy Job kicks off our an unnamed person trying to get access to files in a ... Read More »

LEVERAGE: The Corkscrew Job

22241_011_00524_R

It seems that our evil person of evil this week owns or operates a winery, at least if we can believe the workers on the grapevines as any indication. Nothing like a little take down of corrupt boozers. The guy who fell on the job died from “heart failure” and his daughter is nervous. She also has a very large ... Read More »
