The AV Club had two articles from this week in regards to Community. Not when it’s coming back, unfortunately, but the news is that when it does come back there will be a death of a familiar character:
And that John Hodgman is signed to guest on an episode:
For the dying character, my first guess was Leonard. That seems pretty obvious, but then again maybe it’s too obvious. I’d really hate to see anyone else go and I doubt it would be anyone from the main group and I’d hate to see Starburns, the Dean, Magnitude, or just about any other of the side characters. maybe it’s the alcoholic teacher.
I understood McHale to say that it was not a major character. My first thought also was Leonard. I certainly consider the dean a major character; I think Intergalactic Gladiator’s speculations of either Leonard, Starburns, Magnitude, or Prof. Duncan are the likely candidates. Surprisingly, there’s no chatter at all on the TWOP board about it.
Actually, that could be an episode – some kind of clueless antivivisection protest let by Britta, who is convinced that Annie’s Boobs is going to be used in medical experimentation, because she’s overheard something and taken it the wrong way?
Yea, Chang’s definately the weakest part of the show. He worked well when he was a teacher, as he was used in limited doses and made a good antagonist. But since the crew left Spanish the writers keep trying to shoehorn him in to different roles with very limited success.
Well, Chang’s insane film-noir narration thing was pretty funny… “What’s this guy staring at?” - when looking at his own reflection.
I’m okay with killing off Magnitude. Pop-drop, already.
I dunno. I kind of like his one line schtick. And you gotta admit, the Magnitude vs. Leonard school president debate was inspired. I would be much happier to see Leonard die than Magnitude.
