People, the discussion of spoilers at a theoretical level is out of place in this thread – take it to ATMB. And snide remarks about each other are absolutely out of place in this thread – take it to the Pit. Stop the hijack now. The policy on spoilers is that people should use common sense and common courtesy on the. There is not now, and is not going to be, a rule about “it’s okay/not okay to put spoilers on Show X in a thread about Show Y.” That said, I think in general, if something might be a spoiler, err on the side of adding a spoiler box. And in these days when people watch cable shows, especially, on DVD or via streaming, the fact that something has aired doesn’t mean it isn’t courteous to treat spoilers as spoilers. Esp. in a show about a different thread. No warnings issued. **twickster** , Cafe Society moderator ---

> [@LaurenIpsum](#): > > I liked the video game episode. I don’t have a lot of gaming experience - mainly Super Mario Brothers and Legend of Zelda from the original NES - but I guess it was enough for me to get a lot of the references. Although it seemed like this episode was meant to have happened earlier, because Troy and Abed are seen entering the study room at the end, even though by that point they had been expelled. Apparently the video game was actually the last one in production order or something, but NBC decided to air it first. I don’t think it was too bad of a decision, as the other two seemed more “finale”-ish. > [@srm13](#): > > Hugo ends up as the Island’s protector. Did you miss the post-finale minisode? Hugo and Ben go pick up WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALT to make him the island’s real protector. Apparently Hugo’s only slightly less temporary than Jack. ---

You get the picture. I developed this (possibly misplaced) sexual pride, based solely on the quantity of penetrations of my vagina… and not necessarily the quality of the acts therein.

It just occurred to me that Troy and Abed’s roles IRL in the Chang’s birthday episode were two mustachioed plumbers. I was excited until I realized that was a different episode from the video game episode. ---

I’ve just made a Big Discovery! Pierce, now that he is disinherited, may recoup his fortune by claiming a connection to whatever is left of the Kodak inheritance. I found this in a biography of George Eastman, from a newspaper interview in late 1897 or early 1898: > [@](#): > > I should say that the English are better photographers than the Americans, but as regards mechanical ingenuity and workmanship, the latter are _ **streets ahead** _. And not only that, but his biographer, Elizabeth Brayer, wrote of him: > [@](#): > > His unlined, apple-cheeked face [at forty] with piercing blue eyes was disconcerting, as was his Upstate New York accent (nasal, twangy, harsh-voweled, ending each sentence on the up-beat as if it were a question)… He was an uptalker! The man was a walking sitcom. (Note: uptalk is not part of the Upstate accent today; and it probably was idiosyncratic to Eastman since I’ve never read another reference to it from local history.) Also note the reference to \*\*piercing \*\*blue eyes. Do I have to make a better case that he’s one of Chevy’s ancestors? ---

[QUOTE=The Controvert] **Sampiro** , please don’t spoiler other shows without clearly noted spoiler tags. I haven’t seen that episode of _Breaking Bad_ and have been trying to avoid the spoilers. [/QUOTE] Then how do you know it’s a _Breaking Bad_ reference? ---

Ep 1: The video game episode was a treat. Not every gag landed for me, but I was grinning like a clown through the whole thing. What other show would even dare try something like that? Ep 2: The Ocean’s 11 stuff was great, but the whole Dictator Chang thing was a bit too over the top, even for _Community_. A pretty funny episode, but not necessarily above average (which is streets ahead of most sitcoms, anyway). Ep 3: The Season Finale would have made such an excellent Series Finale that I almost wish it _had_ been, especially now with Harmon gone. I’ll keep watching next season, but I’m not optimistic. We shall see. ---

Just consider any episodes after these to part of a new barely-connected series called _The All-New Community_, since TV shows have been doing that “all-new” crap for years to try to hype the lame carcass of a show after most of its principal actors have left, though in that case it’s the creative team that’s been replaced.
