Second of all, a very exciting news that I found on Vulture, thanks to Alison Brie tweeting about it :
Tonight, comedy-loving Americans will suffer through another NBC Thursday night lineup devoid of the joy that is Community. So how about some news to salve your pain : Vulture has learned that Breaking Bad star and future Emmy-winner Giancarlo Esposito is paying a visit to the Greendale gang. If your face hasn't melted off yet, read on for some details about his character.
We've confirmed that Esposito will appear in an upcoming episode as a business associate of Pierce's late father, Cornelius Hawthorne. While the exact reason for his visit is being kept under wraps, we're going to assume that anyone related to Pierce's racist dad can't be a particularly nice guy. Which is just fine by us, since Esposito (who played chicken-and-meth-king Gus Fring on Breaking Bad, just in case you didn't know) has the whole "antagonist" thing down pat. Esposito began work on his Community episode this week. Just when Esposito's half-hour will air is unclear, in part because NBC has not yet set a return date for the show.

Furthermore, Alison Brie tweeted a picture of her on set, today. As it turns out, it was the final day of shooting. Episode 3.22 wrapped up, ending the shooting of the Junior year of Community. Let's make assumptions on the content of the finale based on what she's wearing :
And Neil Goldman, executive producer on episodes 1.02 to 1.09 and executive producer on all of season 3 (he is credited as writer on episode 3.01), answered a few questions on Twitter. Here's some that I thought were interesting :
Q : Did you consider other sideburns shapes before deciding on Starburns?
A : Nope. Dan pitched Starburns first day and we all laughed.
Q : Any more Cougar Town/Community crossovers planned?
A : Maybe.
Q : Is there another paintball finale?
A : No, but there is more paintball.
Q : Hardest episode to write this season?
A : Oof. Last five have been killers. Of ones that have aired, Chaos Theory was a toughie for obvious reasons.
Q : Does season 3 conclude in a way that it could be the end if it doesn't get renewed?
A : No, because it won't be.

I miss this show so freaking much.
ReplyDeletePlease come back!
Q : Does season 3 conclude in a way that it could be the end if it doesn't get renewed?
ReplyDeleteA : No, because it won't be.
It's a good thing if the writers don't think it's the end.
Oh, goody. A new paintball episode, that's niiiiice. And if the last five episodes are as good as Chaos Theory, I will finish watching episodes 3.18 to 3.22 as dry as dry grape.
ReplyDeleteThe writers won't close the show with the finale, they won't make it easy on NBC, I respect that, the renewal for season 4 must happen, or else hell will break loose. But if the show gets cancelled, Gods forbid, having a season finale not intended to be a series finale would literally be a tragedy.
As for Alison Brie's outfit, I haven't given up on my theory about the study group of the darkest timeline trying to steal the lives of "our" study group. Evil Abed and Evil Troy would have created a portal to our dimension, and they would try to put their other selves in the darkest timeline while staying in ours. Hey, the show's already very unaccessible to many people (who hopefully had time to catch up during this unwanted hiatus !), why not create a complete mindblowing story to please a few fans like me ?
Besides, it would easily have a nice moral to it (because the darkest study group would eventually fail, obviously). I hate moralistic shows, but Community usually has moralistic endings, that's a fact, and the show has had its share of not-so-subtle ones (especially in the first half of season 1), but being content with what you got, and not complain when you know people have less than you is something I definitely wouldn't be mind as a moral for a finale. The Evil study group would wear sci-fi-like outfits, dark clothings like what Alison is wearing, it matches. Yep, they're doing it. I can't wait (seriously, if the writers even bring up the evil study group once this season, I'll be happy, let alone if they focus an episode on them). With all the talk about the evil goatees as part of the protest against NBC, I'm sure the writers have mentionned the Evil timeline once again.
Ah, I love this show so much.
It's brilliant really. Of course, it's always brilliant to cast him.
ReplyDeleteNice other little tidbits. Thanks for sharing!
Yes! At least he shouldn't be wasted on this show like he's wasted on Once upon a Time.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for this wonderful show to return! 6 seasons and movie!
ReplyDeleteI love that we're getting more information about the show's return. More paintball! Episodes on par with Chaos Theory? Sign me up (although this show is always good). And I'm glad they're confident that the show is going to be renewed, or at least going in planning on that. NBC's gotta have heard us by now right?
ReplyDeleteGus on Community?!?!?!?!? Awesome!!
ReplyDeleteI miss the show so much that it is a little depressing getting all these spoilers and not actually getting to watch the episodes :( It feels like a really cruel "summer" haitus
ReplyDeleteArgh! I miss this show so much! I really want to say that the writers know it'll be renewed, but I don't want to see a "to be continued" like with My Name Is Earl, and then hear cancelled...
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting!
ReplyDeleteLoved the tidbits from Neil Goldman.
It's funny that the news of Esposito's casting come just as they wrapped up on Season 3.
I'm glad there will be more paintball - those episodes are always fantastic :)
ReplyDeleteOh man this show gets the best guest stars! Also the writers seem fairly optimistic about another season. I think the sorry state that NBC is in right now means the low rated comedies that do well with the critics have a good chance of another season. It's a bit like how Chuck stayed on air for so long, the network has no choice, they need to show something!
ReplyDeleteExcellent casting... Now lets get the show back on air so we can see it!
ReplyDeleteThronging
