  • The thing I loved most about community is how every single big event at greendale like paintball or the meowmeowbeenz turns the entire campus into a post apocalyptic society
  • @jaycee533
    I personally believe Community died when Dean stopped wearing costumes to make announcements to the study group
  • For me it died when they suddenly stopped going to classes and I was like 'why aren't they going to classes any more?'
  • @Isaac_L..
    It’s ironic that the reasons the characters left in real life matches their in show characters perfectly. Chevy Chase kept fighting and wanted things his own way, Yvette Nicole Brown left for family reasons, and Donald Glover left to be Childish.

    Community never died. It ended the day Jeff graduated, then it became its own spin-off. And it was great, every minute of it. I'm happy we had more Community for a little while, and I'm still hoping to see a Movie someday
  • @panquake5698
    It’s crazy that community was struggling to stay on the air while they made like 12 seasons of Big band theory and an entire spin off
  • @albertkim7882
    I don't see the story circle. I see the Greendale logo.
  • @daytoy
    That Darkest Timeline episode is a real gem in comedy storytelling
  • The series finale is a fantastic finale because it allows the audience to interpret what happens in several different ways. Personally I like to view it as a circular story where Jeff becomes a Pierce character and remains at Greendale for decades because that’s the only place he’s ever felt like he belongs, which in a way makes Pierces intuition in season 1 correct that he saw a lot of himself in Jeff. It allows us, the audience, to imagine a new generation of Abeds, Annie’s, Shirley’s, Brittas, Troys, and Jeffs.

    it really died when troy left because abed is my favorite character but he can’t shine the same without troy
  • @Shovelchicken
    The whiplash of the rapid adding and losing of characters toward the end was the real death of the show.
  • @jonthecowboy
    My dad always said, “it takes a smart guy to play the dumb guy.” I love Donald Glover both as an actor and musician, and his starring on the show was huge. I still loved the show all the way, but it would never be the same.
  • Remedial Chaos theory, while rightly being highly regarded was even more prescient than intended, as the person who left to get the pizza for the Darkest Timeline, was Troy. When he ended up leaving the show later, that was the real life Darkest Timeline and when the series died
  • @fizzie2301
    Community is just like Starburns. We all thought it died, but it turns out it’s still alive today.
  • @2AM_somewhere
    I’m still waiting on the “movie” that Abed promised. Remember it’s 6 seasons and a movie...six seasons...and a movieeee begins to cry like Troy
  • @MadTimmy
    Glover leaving was the deepest cut to the show, but even though it was no longer the best show in the world with out him, it still continued to be amazing. If they get a movie, Glover has to be in it.
