COMMUNITY: Herstory of Dance [Recap]

COMMUNITY -- "Herstory of Dance" Episode 407

It’s been a few weeks since we’ve seen the Greendale Seven and in that time, it seems that Pierce has started to watch Inspector Spacetime, though the American version – which Abed says is a bastardized version of the show. Just as Pierce finishes with his thoughts on the finale (way to spoil it for the rest of them), Dean ... Read More »

COMMUNITY: Economics of Marine Biology

COMMUNITY -- "Economics Of Marine Biology" Episode 406

It’s another week at Greendale and this week, it seems that Dean Pelton is after a Whale to keep the school flush long after Pierce drops dead. This plan can go nowhere good, I can already tell. The idea of Dean Pelton using The Greendale Seven Six to try and recruit a really dumb whale – a rich dumb student ... Read More »

COMMUNITY: Advanced Documentary Filmmaking

COMMUNITY -- "Advanced Documentary Filmmaking" Episode 408

This week the gang is studying Changnesia, and looking into the process of the study of Changnesia through another documentary. With the help of Abed’s documentary process, maybe we’ll all learn more about the group and about the way that the group responds to Kevin as he is now. Much like “Pillows and Blankets”, the narrative structure follows the group ... Read More »

COMMUNITY: Cooperative Escapism in Familial Relations

COMMUNITY -- "Cooperative Escapism" Episode 405

I always find the idea that there are two Thanksgivings in North America to be odd, but this year, we’re getting three, thanks to Greendale. Just before break, Shirley invites the group over to her house for Thanksgiving (in addition to all of Andre’s family), though of course, she’s wary of Pierce showing up and Jeff declines. Dean Pelton pops ... Read More »

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 »

PaleyFest 2013 Is Coming

Nashville

PaleyFest is coming, PaleyFest is coming. This weekend will start the annual fete known as PaleyFest 2013 that is coordinated by the Paley Center for Media, celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. If you aren’t familiar with the Paley Center for Media by now, you should know that the center was founded by pioneer radio-turned-TV man William S. Paley in ... 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 »
