Somehow that sounds poetic and hopeful.

Community made me excited for sitcoms again and made me appreciate working in television at a time when I was getting really burnt out. Thanks for showing me that there are passionate people still in the industry. It's easily my favorite show and I could ask questions for hours but here are a few I can think of:

1. Did you write the finale of S3 as if it could have been a series finale? The last 5minutes, the wrap-up, is perfect.

2. At the end of the S3 finale, Abed goes into his mini-Dreamatorium. To me this symbolises that everything we see from now on isn't the real timeline, but that S4 and onward is all happening within that Dreamatorium. Was this intentional?

If you're ever in Toronto you have an open offer for a night of drinks on me. Thank you for your passion.

This is fairly specific, but in Foosball and Nocturnal Vigilantism they reference Annie throwing out Abed's noodles, but don't explain it in detail. The other plot, the Foosball plot, is based on the noodle incident trope where Jeff and Shirley reference things from their past but don't get into detail until the dinner scene. My question is, was the reference to Annie throwing out Abed's noodles a direct reference to the 'noodle incident' trope which is a major part of the other storyline? Or just some really amazing coincidence?

Here in the west, we're trained to believe that the third world is in despair and everyone is miserable and wants the life we have, but every first hand story I've heard from friends who go there is about how happy people are there with what we would consider very little. Instead of worrying about getting trendy clothes or the new technological device, they're happy being with friends and family and seem to enjoy and appreciate life more than those in the first world.

Is this true from your perspective? Do people in the third world really strive for the life of the first world as we're told?

A lot of my friends who have travelled to third world countries to build schools, etc, come back here and are absolutely angry with our society and how we've been 'lied to' and don't appreciate what we have, so I'm curious as to how the other side views things.

That's where the trope got it's name! Good find!
