Community - Season 4 [US] Spoilers

FlyingIrishMan · 13-03-2013 5:26pm

Yeah I thought I read somewhere that he wouldn't be in two episodes.

13-03-2013 8:13pm

I think he's not in the second last episode and the finale?

allanb49 · 14-03-2013 9:58am

he's in the final but not a episode or two before that as they had shot the final before the rest of the episodes

pixelburp · 14-03-2013 11:24am

2 episodes too few in my opinion, going by his performances so far. I feel sorry for the rest of the cast really: regardless what we think of the series so far, they all clearly love working together and get on really well - it comes out in their own performances. But Chevy hanging around & bringing the mood down with his obvious lack of professionalism must be really trying at times...

allanb49 · 14-03-2013 11:41am

can only make them stronger, wonder who he'll be replaced with or will he just disappear or will they give him a send off. Would be nice for him to be given a send off instead of just brushed under the carpet I think

DH would probably kill him in as a device to being the group back together or stay at Greendale (or whatever). The new bunch probably won't replace him now that they've already done that in jest. They'll probably just end up saying he graduated or something

I enjoyed that episode, didn't laugh a whole lot but still enjoyed it.
Saw the ending coming, but still loved the "Why did I do that?" line.

AlmightyCushion · 15-03-2013 3:41am

Loved that one. Chang not understanding anything even simple stuff like hats was brilliant.

"You love her so much, you called her over and over and over again. Even though you don't know her or how to use a phone or what a number is."

BlitzKrieg · 15-03-2013 5:15am

havnt finished the episode yet, but had to say I loved

shirley's line about kevin being a choice

also I am a sucker for these type of episodes.

edit:

finished it.

Yeah I liked that episode.

Also Starring LeVar Burton · 15-03-2013 6:26am

Loved it.

Shane St. · 15-03-2013 7:51am

Really enjoyed that episode. Although I always love episodes featuring a nice dosage of Chang

phasers · 15-03-2013 11:01am

That was great! I'm getting a bit of a season 2 vibe from the show atm.

I always love Abed's documentaries.

Although tbh if this was the episode that pissed Chevy off I don't blame him, they took his folksy racism a bit far with the puppets

15-03-2013 11:38am

The puppet thing was a bit far and wouldn't be surprised if that's what set him off. It must be tough for Chevy to do things like that - I mean, in his heyday, he was rubbing shoulders with the likes of Richard Pryor and others. And now then they had him doing racist hand puppets.

I wonder if this episode was shot first or at least early, because this is the most animated we've seen him so far.

Apart from that, for me, it was the first proper Community episode, where I actually did laugh once or twice.

FlyingIrishMan · 15-03-2013 5:32pm

Aaand ratings drop to a 1.0.
Really don't know why it fluctuates so much, the last two episodes were good so they should have kept the viewers in.

Apparently it was because of some DST thing on, BBT dropped to 4.5 which is a low for them.

pixelburp · 15-03-2013 6:14pm

Another Greendale episode, my goodness we are spoilt the last two weeks :rolleyes: It was enjoyable enough, even if the documentary format had been done before, and you could predict the twist about Kevin a mile away; especially once Jeff decided to unmask the truth.

nkay1985 · 15-03-2013 7:05pm

Enjoyed that. Two in a row for me. Hopefully the worst is past us.

allanb49 · 15-03-2013 10:06pm

Was talking about Chase leaving last night and we where saying it would be awesome if as a final FU to Chase they got Bill Murray in to replace him.

Well his ego would certainly be a good fit

I loved that bit too.

Although it did depress me when I realised it's possibly the first time I've spontaneously laughed in about 3 episodes

120_Minutes · 16-03-2013 8:24pm

Best of the season so far, and a couple of clever quick jokes to boot (macguffin institute, heh)

allanb49 · 18-03-2013 4:45pm

Awww

Dan Harmon has said he wanted Murray to play Jeff Winger’s father

120_Minutes · 18-03-2013 8:15pm

Bill Murray played "John Winger" in the 1981 movie "Stripes". It could have worked. The jokes just write themselves.

wp_rathead · 20-03-2013 6:10pm

Abed's Documentary was, in my opinion, the first proper episode of Community this season- the Thanks Giving episode and the Halloween episode had its moments but this one was genuinely funny throughout and no point did I feel awkward watching it (like I did watching the atrocious Convention episode and slightly racist German episode)- I think the Inception episode they tried to fit to much in and just seemed scattered and all over the place (as well as getting the rhythm totally wrong with regards the editing)

Also, just wondering if any of ye have listened to this interview with Andy Bobrow, the co-executive producer on this seasons Community- interesting to have him talk about the whole Chevy and Dan scenario, plus how he admits the writing for this season is kind of missing Dan's authoritarian approach to the editing (which explain why the pacing of the episodes seems all out of sync)
There are also interviews/chats with Joel McHale and Danny Pudi
Warning: It contains spoilers for the season

pleasant Co. · 20-03-2013 7:12pm

Honestly, I've read a few posts from different posters proclaiming that episode x has been a more community-esque episode than the previous ones...but to date I disagree, this season has been diabolically bad, so much so that I'm disliking most of the characters, troy is still awesome but everyone else not so much. I really want the show to get better, but with only half the season to go I doubt that's going to happen.

This was actually a pretty great comparison over the past 3 seasons of Community. While the person who made this video doesn't like the way the characters are going, a lot of it can be explained to a certain amount.

pixelburp · 20-03-2013 8:55pm

Some of the directions yeah, but things like Britta becoming an idiot, or Chang / the Dean turning into pantomime characters are less easy to explain ...

20-03-2013 9:21pm

The Dean, perhaps, but the way I kinda figure with Chang is that he's always had a fragile state of mind, even as a teacher. When he got fired, he became fixated on their study group and wanting to join, but they've constantly strung him along, probably to the point where he cracked and went insane.

Also Starring LeVar Burton · 22-03-2013 2:54am

Why that one felt like a season 1 type episode... I laughed a lot...
Regardless of how bad the season began, it seems to be finding its feet again...

FlyingIrishMan · 22-03-2013 3:17am

It's definitely been improving in quality the past few episodes. That is my favourite episode so far.

Loved the where the dean made magnitude stop saying his catchphrase
"no pop? "

Basq · 23-03-2013 1:30pm

More sub-standard dreck unfortunately..

.. only the closing Lets / Splingles moment gave me a laugh!

It's a shadow of the show I used to love at this point!
