Community finale comments section hits 100,000 comments, unlocking mysteries of universe and existence
As was prophesied in the review of the final three episodes of Community’s third season, the comments section for the episodes reached its 100,000th comment earlier this afternoon, and it may or may not have been this warm-hearted message from Gauephat, which is hard to tell, because grrrrr, Disqus. Anyway, the conversation there throughout this long, Community-less summer has featured everything from reviews of all of the episodes from the first three seasons of the show, to discussion of the nation’s political climate (which, you’ll be surprised to learn, is “polarized”), to reviews of, uh, Freaks & Geeks. They also performed some Reddit-style Ask Me Anythings and just generally hung out all summer long, like that one year when you went home from college and worked at your parents’ store, and even though you weren’t looking forward to it, you got to hang out with friends and really learn a lot about yourself. It was, as Andrew Sullivan said that one time, the Internet in a microcosm.
