Journal - "Haters to the Left."

[leskuh]

This episode of Community was amazing and I loved it and fuck your ships they're all awesome.

The discussion over at the main comm is bugging me because so much of it just reads like straight up shipper wank and while I understand what it's like to be a shipper and be super serious about your ship, I mostly just... do not even give a shit. I love Troy/Britta, but this ep was fantastic and Jeff/Britta making out beside Abed was perfect and Troy's friendship with Annie made me melt and Shirley and Pierce and SOME DUDE WAS HITTING ON ABED and just. UGH.

If you're looking to wank about this episode, don't do it here. LOOK HOW MUCH I DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT YOUR SHIPPING PREFERENCES.

AS A SIDE NOTE: Just because you think Jeff/Britta act like siblings or don't have chemistry doesn't mean you're correct. It is your opinion and probably not universal and it's important to note that obviously they have something between them and very much don't see one another in a familial way and Jeff/Britta making out beside Abed is amazing because they are the original trio and the root of the show and BLAH BLAH BLAH WHATEVER. IDEK.

Basically. I love this episode. Haters to the left.

hey, i hope you don't mind that i added you as a friend- not sure if you saw my comment in your friends-only post :)

anyways YES I AGREE ABOUT THIS EPISODE. IT HAD ALL MY PRIMARY SHIPS PLUS SOME CUTENESS (like Pierce being nice to Shirley). AND I LOVED TROY! AND BRITTA! AND ANNIE! AND ABED!

this was probably one of my favorite Community episodes ever.

It's 100% cool! I did see your message, but I've been kind of absent from LJ recently just because of school junk, so I've been putting off responding/friending back. XD

FIXED NOW!

There was SO MUCH in this episode to love! I do think, like Basic Rocket Science, this is an episode that could have really benefited from being an hour long. What we got, was AMAZING, but if we'd had another 30 minutes to push it all home even stronger? YES.

Troy is my favorite character so this was just heaven for me. I actually called him not getting drunk on his birthday a long time ago (though I didn't really say it out loud - just knew that I wanted it to go that way) so him being... so perfectly him and taking care of everyone and seeing their sadness and putting them before himself was... so perfect. I love him. MY FAVORITE.

oh i love Troy too! i think what i loved most about the episode was that it focused on the CHARACTERS, not the comedy. i realize that Community is a sitcom but unlike others it's also filled with dynamic, layered characters, and giving the writers (and audience) the chance to explore them on a deeper level.

thinking about it, i think Troy and Annie were my favorite characters, but i had sympathy for Shirley and Abed.
