Community: The Pilot Episode

Send us a text


Happy Wine Wednesday! Matt of The Communies fan account joins me
this week to talk about one of my absolute favorite shows and
fandoms of all time - Community! Our conversation is part of the
podcast's Boozy Beginnings AKA pilot project series in which we
discuss the pilot episode of various tv shows. 

Matt and I head over to Greendale and kick off our discussion
with what drew us to Community, whether we we completed the
series, and then the deep dive into the pilot. We start by
talking about the pilot's introduction to two of the more
memorable characters from the series - Craig Pelton and Greendale
Community College.  From there, we talk about our initial
impressions of Jeff Winger and other memorable introductions to
the study group members.  We were both struck at how fully
realized these characters clearly were from the very start. Y'all
know I love a little lighthearted zodiac fun, so I asked Matt to
identify his big three signs in the form of Community
characters. 

Although we were both huge fans of the episode, there were a few
minor things we might do differently.  Related to that
topic, I asked Matt to share what his version of Community would
look like if he were in charge of a revival or reboot of the
show.  No discussion of Community would be complete without
talking "Six Seasons and a Movie" - so of course I asked what his
Community movie would look like.

The main discussion closes with our thoughts on why you should
keep watching, our favorite fandom moments, and we get a little
less than wholesome with some fun Community-inspired thirst
prompts. 

Matt graciously stuck around and discussed overall thoughts about
the series in a spoiler segment following the main
discussion.
