On Community:
I have to say I'm on the "not as good as last year" train. I think there were a few episodes last season where they would go super heavy on the schtick. The over-the-top characters, the almost-but-not-quite gross-out stuff. The over-the-top everything pretty much. It felt as though there were "regular episodes" and then there were stylized episodes where it wasn't over the top (that felt like regular episodes to me) and then there were just the ridiculous, silly episodes that had no boundaries. I gotta say I didn't really like those episodes. And this season for the most part feels like it's leaning extremely heavily in that direction and it makes me sad.
Even this last episode, while funny and I liked it over all, was almost too much for me. I think![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lenina20 said, it almost missed the mark and I definitely agree.
( mild spoilers for last night -- but mostly this is about Chang )
I just kind of miss these characters. I feel like we don't really know them anymore. And do they ever go to any other classes? It's just veering off in a direction that I do not like.
I think Community, as a show, is sometimes like a kid who does something funny in front of his parents or his parents friends. Of course, we laugh because it's funny. So the kid gets excited that they've done a good job and so they do it AGAIN, and LOUDER, and with MORE EMPHASIS. And then they do that over and over and over and I'm just like "STOP ALREADY!"
When it's good it's good. When it's bad, it's just sad. Because it can be really good.
