I could write a long, well-reasoned post about why everyone ought to watch Community. It's hilarious, I would say; not just funny, but witty. It's fast-paced, and zany, and sometimes so strange that it drifts into magical realism.

And most of all, I would write - Community has the most splendid ensemble cast on television! The characters differ in race, religion, politics, and basic temperament, but form a bond regardless. Yet there's always a sense of the fragility of such a disparate group. The show gives the sense that diversity is worthwhile - but also that diversity can be really damn hard.

And fandom's favorite characters are Abed, the pop culture-obsessed half-Palestian half-Polish film director, and his BFF Troy, the secretly dorky black football player. Most of the episodes end with them doing something silly together - rapping, doing a fake morning show, hanging Christmas ornaments off Troy... ("Oh Christmas Troy, oh Christmas Troy...how lovely are your branches")

But why waste time writing about all that? All I need to tell you is that COMMUNITY HAS A ZOMBIE EPISODE. A ZOMBIE EPISODE, PEOPLE. And two - no, three! - episodes of paintball warfare, one of which is an homage to Star Wars! HOW CAN YOU POSSIBLY SAY NO?

I know! I kept wanting to write "So-and-so is my favorite character!", but then I thought of all the reasons why the others are amazing and couldn't. They're all my favorites!

(Except maybe Pierce. But the group wouldn't be nearly as interesting without Pierce.)

I have a special spot in my heart for Annie, though. I <3 bubbly overachievers.

Troy and Abed in the --MORNING!
