Community in Cougar Town.

So, about a month ago, an episode of Community ended with one of the characters telling an anecdote about how he was able to be an extra in Cougar Town. It was pretty forgettable.

And yet, jump forward to the season finale of Courgar Town, (a show I don't watch, but someone on the internet does,) and during a scene with two characters having a conversation at an outdoor table, there in the middle ground… is Abed.


It’s such an extraordinary pay-off to a joke. A joke is set up on one show, and the punchline is in another show, on another channel, in the next month. And as Abed had described it in Community, he panics mid-scene, and runs off the set, catching the attention of the regular characters for a moment. A nice touch.

An Unfortunate Editorial.

So, an editorial over on Technology Website, VentureBeat has become infamous this week. In his weekly column, (which I don't think many people were read before this,) Dean Takahashi goes on a rant about how the new Warhammer 40k videogame is a shameless rip-off of Gears of War. He writes that the similarities are embarassing, and of course, he then gets ripped a new one by an angry internet posse who can;t believe he didn;t bother to quickly google warhammer and realise it predates Gears of War by decades.

Anyways, it's just such a cringe worthy piece to read, and the comments section just proves how no-one should ever express an opinion on the internet.

One Year Later.

Happy One Year Anniversary of the finale of Lost.

Live together, die alone. Do not mistake coincidence for fate. Don't tell me what I can't do. See you on the other side. Whatever happened, happened. We have to go back. You make your own luck.

See you in another life, Brother.

Superheroes 2011

There are four big budget Superhero movies coming out this summer, and I am excited for all of them. Here is a quick preview of how I await them.

Thor: isn't shown anywhere in Exeter in 2d, and I have no interest in seeing it in 3d with crappy and expensive glasses. Why is my life so hard!

Green Lantern: was recently given an additional $9million to "fix" the special effects, because that is the most important thing about a movie where computer-generated Ryan Reynolds hits other computer-generated people.

Captain America: Chris Evens is made to look first malnourished, and then later made to look like he is on a boat-load of steroids, using computers. This is awesome.

X-Men, First Class: I paid money to see the Wolverine movie, and wished I hadn't, and then there was a quote about trying to get Twlight levels of angsty self-obsessed melodrama in, and then I stopped caring. Then they released a new trailer, and I cannot wait for this movie. Yes, I am aware that my geek heart is fickle.

A Fistful of Paintballs

Community have just done a second paintball episode. I had been worried, that this season finale would just be a lame attempt at trying to recapture the magic of last year. The worst of Community this year, (even though there's been only a few poor episodes), has been the writers relying on the best of last year, rehashing old plots as a crutch for a poor script.

This was not a crutch for a poor finale. This was amazing.

Community is the best sitcom of TV. By such a long way. I love this show, oh so much.
