New Community Episode Withdrawals Week 1


This is a Thursday night much like other Thursday nights.  I sit in front of my computer discussing things with people over the internet.  That’s my life.  Plus some work tonight.  There is only one thing missing.  Where is my new episode of Community?

This is the first night I had to go without hope of a new episode of Community.  I am beginning to experience withdrawal.  What will happen to the study group following Christmas Break?  Will Troy become a plumber or will he become an air conditioner repairman?  Will he choose something different?  Will Chang ever be accepted into the group?  How did they do in school?  Has Abed figured out how to cross the evil timeline into theirs?  All of these questions will go unanswered.

Symptoms that I have shown tonight include a headache.  That is right.  Tonight I have had a headache.  I do not attribute this headache to dehydration.  Oh no.  The headache is surely caused by the heartache of Community not being on the NBC Winter schedule.  That is what this new episode withdrawal is doing to me.  It is causing a strain on my head.

The best medicine for this withdrawal was to watch an older episode of Community.  I turned on episode six of this season which involved a big gay party.  It seems to have helped a little bit but it’s not the same type of fix as a new episode.  I need a new episode.

When Community comes back, I will hopefully be better.  Until then, I will be logging the advancement of my new Community episode withdrawal symptoms each week.  How long will it be until I die due to lack of new Community episodes?

First Time Watches: March 2019

Image
I’ve been writing these first-time watch posts for a long time. They are a chronicle, month by month, of the movies that are new to me. They could be theatrical releases or they could be older movies that I’m finally getting around to. Either way, they’re fresh to my eyes, never having gone through them before. With that comes pleasant surprise, a great experience, disappointment, or frustration. There could be many more emotions as well. These posts share my emotions from having watched the movies with whoever decides to read them. I fell behind on these posts a long time ago and have been trying to work my way through them to eventually catch up. This post will cover March 2019 and the movies I saw for the first time over the course of that month. Any rewatches will not be a part of this post. If they aren’t first time watches, they don’t count. March was a month full of all kinds of movies. There were good and bad, like usual, and a variety of genres, also like usual. Th...

Is "Real Steel" Like "Over the Top"?

When I was going through my weekly movie binge a couple weeks ago, I stumbled upon two movies that I had never seen before that tackled a very similar story.   It was an odd thing to have happen because I didn’t know of any similarities between the two movies.   The first was Real Steel, a movie about a man who participates in robot boxing while bonding with the son that he had left years before.   The second was Over the Top, a movie about a man who participates in arm wrestling while bonding with the son that he had left years before.   Similar?   I think so. Let’s begin with Real Steel.   I watched this one because, why the hell not?   I quite enjoyed the movie and by the end I was rooting for Hugh Jackman’s character to help his robot, Atom, to a victory.   The thing to point out about Real Steel is how good the visual effects were.   I wasn’t expecting too much going in, but I thought they masterfully crafted each robot in a way that...

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Season 2, Episode 8: The Power Stealer

Image
Last time we sat down with the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers , Tommy was going through some serious stuff.   His powers were running low because Lord Zedd was targeting him.   He felt hopeless.   His friends were comforting him.   There was also a Robo Goat trying to take a powerful sword and use it against the Earth.   There were fights all over the place and an emotional hook that was unmatched in any episode that wasn’t in a multi-part arc. This episode, there might be follow-up to the Tommy storyline.   It would be nice to see more of the struggle with his powers.   Right now, that’s the one throughline that has been playing out.   II hope this episode continues to have some sort of meaning to the overall story, instead of being a self-contained and meaningless.   The show needs to grow and evolve, with a storyline that builds to something significant.   Having episodes that keep the story at a standstill is boring.   ...
