This is all we have left

Community is back (for, most likely, last time) and it started with the even more meta episode then usual. The way they referenced moving on, people leaving and Pierce being replaced was fun but what I liked most was them being Muppet Babies inside inside Abed's head and Abed Inceptioning himself and, of course, Jeff's tango with the Dean. The only thing that made me wonder was that in reality Abed seems supportive of Britta/Troy but in Abed's first level of happy place Jeff and Britta kiss. Also I know Kevin is faking changmnesia to come back.

Being Human also just started new, fifth series and we just learned it is the last one. BBC3 officially announced they are cancelling it. Too bad - I like Tom, Hal and Alex and was hoping they get to have more then 6 episodes for their dynamics to evolve. Especially Alex as it is her first series as main character. But, as Toby Whitehouse, I'm glad it lasted this long. It was fun and, unlike other vampire/supernatural shows it didn't make me despise everyone in it.

I thought the premiere of Community was disappointing :/ The ideas were there, but it felt a little bit by the numbers and artificial, hopefully that's just temporary stiffness and will get better with time.

I felt something was off when I watched it but I wasn't sure what so I didn't mention it. I only just realised that it felt disjointed because there was almost no group interactions. Everyone was just doing stuff separately - Annie and Shirley's pranks, Troy and Britta's quarrel, Jeff's Dean Games and Abed and Piers were standing by each other but might've as well been in different rooms. Even when they all were in the same room it was as if they were ignoring each other and just talking not interacting. I suppose in theme with the whole subject moving on but the whole show works best when cast interacts together as a group and plays of off each other. I hope they get back to that soon.
