I think we need to clear something up here. This subreddit does not pin praise upon praise. Not on me or my work, that's for damn sure. I'd know if that were the case. I know where to go online when I want praise and THIS IS NOT THE PLACE and it shouldn't be.
As far as I can measure, half of the stuff in this sub is negative. Half. If that's not scientifically true, I'd use the word "enough." Enough is negative. Nothing wrong with that. Sure, there's the whole "why would you watch a show that you have this many complaints about" question but if we're going to teach the internet how to stop consuming by complaining, let's all head over to the Simpsons with a lot of mops, and if shows nobody ever complains about are so great then why don't I watch them. I understand the internet.
This subreddit's illness, if it has one that needs curing and can be cured, is this "I'm an underdog and you're circle jerking" disease that ERUPTED like a volcano in season 4. We all know what happened. It was a Civil War between two peoples with equally good intentions: the people that loved Community so much they wanted it to live forever and the people that loved Community so much they wanted it to die. Like a married couple standing over a dog that got hit by a car, and one person is saying "it's okay, it's okay," and stroking it and the other person is saying "it's not okay" and grabbing a big rock. Who's right to yell at whom? Well, it depends on your definition of a healthy dog, but the good news is, that issue's over, because this dog is up.
But now we have the legacy fight between the married couple, along the lines of "I can't believe you wanted to kill that dog" versus "I can't believe you were willing to let it suffer just to make yourself feel better and we still don't know if it has internal bleeding."
To which I say, guys, three very important things to now remember:
You're MARRIED.
You weren't driving the car that hit the dog, it was a robot truck controlled by a corporation.
There's no internal bleeding.
Love or hate whatever details of the show you want but if you cast yourself as part of some overall faction, as if there's such a thing as a Pro This or a Loyalist That, as if it's possible to be a True or Untrue fan of Community, the only side that wins is going to be certain entities that shall remain nameless, that resent this show, resent all of you, and resent me and that can't wait for it to go away quietly. They want to prove nothing ever happened. The ones driving the truck. This can be the third act of a great movie you guys. **** can be about to go down. I have a feeling bad guys are going to be falling in poop to tuba music while armies of actual underdogs - the unmeasured - cheer.
Not in the actual show. The show is mostly going to be muppets. It's cheaper.
