Yeah, I was definitely expecting more of a departure from the quality we were used to considering all the executive meddling, but this basically met my expectations. Not to mention on a rewatch I found the easter eggs, like you said, but I also found it deliciously bitingly meta about the troubles the show's been through.

I am one of those obnoxious fans who way overanalyzes this show, don't mind me :P

No, I do too! I love talking about the show on its own merits, I'm just sick of the bitching about Harmon and "zombie community" because he's not here anymore.

I thought the laugh track stuff was brilliant meta both on the show and on how Abed perceives the people in his life, I thought it was so clever that it served a dual purpose. On another forum I visited I wrote like a novel (well maybe not that much, but a decent amount) all about what it said about Abed and the show and the characters and *keysmash* I love Community. No one responded though because they weren't over their bitchfit yet :/ BUT I FOUND IT FASCINATING.

I'd start exclaiming about it on here but lol I have a lot to say and I feel like I am the only one who finds it interesting.

HA, nuuu, it's all cool. (I actually may be the only person for whom the premiere will actually bring them into the fandom proper; I've been fighting off Trobed plotbunnies all night, just because of the way Troy/Britta is playing out OH MY GOD I could write paragraphs on that.)

Hell, it's embarrassing to admit but your enthusiasm for the show actually brought me back to it (I stopped watching after Paintball 2) and now I am a happily immersed metafan, so if you want to chat, I'm all... ears? Eyes? How does that phrase work on the internet anyway?

I love when that happens - when someone's enthusiasm and love can sort of rub off and bring people in or back to the fandom. It's actually how I end up in a lot of my fandoms, because my friends will just be enjoying it so plainly and you know, I'm happy when my friends are happy and then there's happy feelings association and then I have to dive in and see what all the happy is about.

Me too! I love when fandom is a happy place and I tend to gravitate towards positive people in fandom, which is not easy considering some of the fandoms I inhabit. But the whole point of fandom is enthusiasm for something we love, at least I thought it was, though I think some people enjoy being enthused about hating something to the point of loving it? I'm rambling.

OMFG TROBED FRIEND YOU ARE A TREASURE. I BROUGHT YOU BACK? I FEEL SO SPECIAL *HUGS OUT OF JOY*. WRITE PARAGRAPHS ABOUT TROY/BRITTA IN MY INBOX PLZ.

Or if it makes you feel more comfortable you can also message me with an email address and contact me that way whenever you like. I am much more responsive to emails to my fandom email address.

WRITE ALL THE FIC. PLOT IT WITH MEEEEE. MUAHAHAHA NEW FAN.

YAY I WORRIED MY COMMENT MIGHT COME OFF AS STALKERY. HUGS.

I'll hit you up with a PM and we can chat about things. AHH I literally have no friends who watch Community right now so all my thoughts and feelings have sort of just been swirling in my head~

You should post thinky thoughts to your journal! I'd be all over reading that. I'm kind of a half lurker in most fandoms - not wanting to get full into the communities and discussions but loving reading friends interpretations and keysmashing happiness and meta.

Maybe I'll start idk :) I spend a lot of time writing individual emails to my Community peeps and I am on one forum and I'm on tumblr talking with people all the time so I'd probably end up copy-pasting a lot. You could maybe PM me?

/laziness for no reason

I thought the laugh track stuff was brilliant meta both on the show and on how Abed perceives the people in his life, I thought it was so clever that it served a dual purpose.

This, this, totally this. When the episode first started, I was like, "OH GOD. I KNEW HARMON LEFT. I KNEW PEOPLE KEPT TALKING ABOUT CHANGE. BUT A LAUGH TRACK?!?!?!? DDDDDDDD:" And then slowly I started to suspect, and by the time it was revealed to be Abed's headcanon, I was just like, "Best. Meta. Joke. Ever."
