You _know_ they’ll work that Oscar into a show somehow in season 4 (out of 6, and a movie). ---

I’ve been a fan of Nat Faxson since Grosse Pointe. Nice to see him win. ---

That was wild, I had no idea Jim Rash was nominated. When I saw him up there, I was like, “is that Dean?!” then he totally Dean’d Jolie, and all was confirmed. I’m sure they’ll work it in one way or another. ---

Maybe a gold version of the Human Being mascot costume? ---

> [@obfusciatrist](#): > > That was my initial reaction too. But then Community does make its nut reveling in, while sending up, TV tropes and cliches. A crossover episode would be an obvious target. But it would have to be completely on Community’s terms. What about a cross over with a show that is no longer on the air…Start with a “Last week on (enter show here)” give us enough backstory to fill in where the plot would take off on Community. I could totally see this work ! ---

Okay, that looks fucking awesome. Looks like there might be a holodeck episode and return of evil abed. ---

> [@cmyk](#): > > Spoofing their baffling limbo-hiatus in some very meta way that only Community can pull off. Agreed, but they’ll have to be careful they don’t get too close to [S.O.B.s](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.O.B.s) (while, I would hope, somehow acknowledging _AD_). ---

Not sure if it would actually be a holodeck episode (although that would be cool!). That was already seen as the spare room in Abed & Troy’s apartment previously. Can’t wait for new eps! ---

I just started watching this a few weeks ago, and it’s pretty damn good. Not all of it works; the stuff with Pierce and Chang is usually more unpleasant than funny, and the paintball episodes drag a bit. I do love the dynamic between Troy and Abed, especially now that Annie’s thrown into the mix. Can’t wait for it to come back!
