-I am no longer pissed that Firefly was cancelled when it was, when the travesty that is The Sarah Connor Chronicles being cancelled when it was exists in this continuity. No, I take it back, I'm pissed that Firefly was cancelled. But Firefly I'm pissed about because the more stories with those characters the better. If I'd had six seasons of Firefly I'd still be pissed because I'd want a seventh. With Sarah Connor Chronicles, the problem is that I want to know what they were going to do with the show SO MUCH. How did they not get a third season?
- I won my first pastrami sandwich bet, on the Quinn/Robin question! Sara and I have been watching How I Met Your Mother together since the second season, when I'd walk over to her apartment every Monday night to watch it with her. We've been betting pastrami sandwiches on HIMYM plot twists since then. And... we're in like the 7th season now. I've never won, until now! Collecting on that bet will be sweet. And tasty. (Pastrami sandwich bets are also an excuse to hang out after we haven't seen each other in a while. It's just a good system altogether. I used to do stuff like that more often. Maybe I should again.)
-Community finale minimarathon! Video game episode obviously the best thing ever. (Are we calling it the video game episode? Should we call it the 8 Bit Episode? I'm not sure.) The last two episodes were more uneven, though I loved them looking at each other and saying "Elaborate heist" back and forth more than anything in the world. I loved Troy fixing the A/C school (and I loved that the narrative of that storyline was "We recognize that everyone on this show is too loopy for words." because sometimes Community seems like a show captive to its own internal logic). I loved the return of Abed from the Darkest Timeline, but didn't love the timeline darkness meter or Evil Abed POV. Danny Pudi could have pulled that off without the gimmickry in a much more emotionally honest way. I was confused by the Troy/Britta. I was not as taken with the over the top Chang stuff as the show writers were. I... have no idea how I'm supposed to feel about Starburns. That moment at the end felt cheap.
But the best thing of all was Abed kissing the USB key and telling her "I promised I'd be back for you." Awwwwww.
