Well, this is it, fellow Human Beings. The third season of “Community” is coming to a close with a triple-dose of Greendale’s favorite study group (airing at 8, 9, and 9:30 EST), and I think it would be helpful to work through our feelings about it all by engaging in a rousing live discussion. So if any of you have things to say about this season, the finale, or ideas for next season (or if you just want creepily proposition Alison Brie like this guy), drop in and have at it starting at 7:30 Thursday night. NOTE: Any commenter who shares this post on Facebook or Twitter will receive this awesome anus badge. I mean, um, that sounded weird. But, still, the badge is pretty cool.
As an added bonus, we have some amazing guests joining us. First of all, “Community” star Jim Rash (Dean Pelton) will swinging by the discussion from 9-10 p.m. If you have any questions or comments for him, begin your comment with @JimRash and fire away. (I’m going to ask him 700 questions about the logistics of time hoodies.) Additionally, “Community” writer Steve Basilone will be dropping by from 7:30-8ish, and then again around 9:30. He co-wrote both the finale and this season’s “Regional Holiday Music,” so if you have any questions about any of that episode’s notable moments, he’s your man. This is shaping up to be really cool night around here, so I hope you’ll all join us.

Ohhhhh, so the song at very start of the season was the OPPOSITE of what was going to happen during the season? i’m not upset, that jeff and annie didn’t sleep together, at all. nope, not one little bit.
/sobs into cornflakes…
Obviously missed the chat. Even though I was one of the first motherfuckers on here last night. Oh well. Starburns is alive!
Son of a bitch, I missed the live chat.
And I’m too late to get the badge. Motherfuck…
I hate my job. Can I get an E Plurbis Anus badge?
curse you pneumonia! why did you make me sleep through communitys finale?
GAH! How did I miss this live chat?
Missed the chat due to being on the left coast (1st ep is on right now). All I can say is when i go to the app store there better be a Hawkthorne video game.
i envy you right now that it’s the first time you’re sitting through the three episodes that aired here tonight.
Even though I’m late to the after party, these last 3 episodes truly give me a lot of inspiration to continue on with my planned dream of creating something, and becoming a part of something for all to enjoy. Good show, to Jim and Steve. Season 4 ftw!
I wish I had DVR just so I could watch that last episode again. Just for Jeff’s Truth Is speech and aftermath.
Only this gif can explain how those 90 minutes made me feel

Second!
@jim @steve- thanks so much for hanging out with us
@wg- you’re all growed up! The end of BRING BACK MATT!
thanks Steve
Verified
thanks so much, everyone! was really fun! and thanks for being the best fans on TV!
It is kind of easy to be a fan of that show.
Is the dreadlocked guy in the tag Shirley’s dreadlocked guy from Contemporary American Poultry?
@Steve/Jim Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Steve — Please tell me you’re working on getting Karen Gillan on Community. Please. (You can’t hear it, but there is no shame at all in my begging tone.)

@Jim/Steve…that was amazing. Thanks for answering our questions!
Dean and Britta = season 3 MVPs (also the name of a good band)
Gillian Jacobs has been amazing this year. I’m going to be so pissed at her emmy nom snub
definitely. Alison Brie gets all the internet glory but Gillian Jacobs has been absolutely fantastic.
Holy shit, that was streets ahead.
This was truly magnificent.
You mean it was going to end with the rival dean plotting and Chang eavesdropplotting?
Fantastic finale, @Steve. Really fucking nice.
Verified
glad you liked it, man!
Again, the show is great, and you guys are great in it.
you magnificent bastard
David Simon could be proud of that season-ending musical montage.
Verified
thats what we were going for. glad you liked!
@steve, @JimRash – on behalf of everyone involved with this show, take a bow.
Verified
Have to sign off myself. Thank you all for the questions and for being great fans of the show. Here’s to season 4! See you all in the “fall”….
Thank you Jim!
Thanks so much, Jim. Awesome.
Thanks, Jim. Pop back by anytime!
@JimRash; 2steve Awesome! Awesome! Freaking Awesome! thanks for stopping by. Can’t wait for season 4!
@Steve — was this written as a series finale, too? The theme song playing, the montage…
Verified
indeed it was.
@JimRash & @Steve
Thanks for the answers. Have to make dinner before show starts at 8:00 PDT.
#fourseasonsandanafterschoolspecial
@JimRash & @SteveBasilone, just wanted to say I love your show! I’m in Hawaii so I still have a while before I get to see the episodes, but even with the risk of spoilers, I had to come on here.
@JimRash – The Descendants was wonderful, George Clooney’s opening monologue is so spot on about what it’s like to live here. Congrats on the oscar!
Verified
Thank you on both counts
How good did Britta look in that top?
Don’t use gay as a derogatory term?!?! Omg its raining goodness
@ Jim Rash : Will you demand that for next season’s opening credits, your name be preceded by Academy Award Winner?
@Jim and @Steve- show starts for me in 8 minutes, so I gotta go. Thank you both for all you do and thanks for hanging out with us!!
Verified
of course! and thank you!
Verified
Yes thank you! Enjoy the shows
@Steve — Did you at least get a free air conditioner? You’re giving them free advertising.
Verified
my family fortune is tied to big AC. so i was really just advertising for myself.
@Steve
Will you ever try a “Rosencrantz and Gildenstern are Dead” episode with Garrett or Magnitude showing what led up to their involvement in an episode?
thanks.
Verified
we’ve talked a lot about spin off episodes with our muppets. so its always a possibility!
I fully endorse this idea.
@jimrash: is there a line you wouldn’t cross with the character?
Verified
I like to think “no” as in I trust the vision of Dan and our writers whole-heartedly… That said… They said I’ll be nude all next season
@JimRash: If you could wear a costume to describe your mood right now, what would it be?
@JimRash – Clooney: more handsome than McHale, or more work done? Thanks. More screenwriting and Jolie poses please.
Verified
Joel is sitting beside me…. He’s making me say “no”…. He’s moving my hands to type this and say that he is the best looking,.s
@JimRash. Well, I remember him from Almost Live, and nonetheless he’s come a long way, in every way.
Thanks.
@JimRash: How was was it working with Michael K. Williams? The Wire references, especially the code, in the Law & Order episode were awesome.
I like imagining the “Awesome!” reaction was unscripted.
Verified
Yes he was great to have and work with. Limited time directly with him but shooting the L&O ep was a blast
Yes please do tell!
@steve Has anyone suggested webisodes that don’t feature the Greendale 7 at all? A la, the week they went away? I need me some Real Neil (Reil Neil? Real Neal? Reel Neel?) Those words have lost all meaning for me.
Verified
i don’t think so. maybe? but that would have been rad!
@JimRash what do you think the Dean had freshly tattooed on his leg/groin? Jeff’s face?
@JimRash What was the tattoo?
Verified
i like to think it would be the dean flying on a minataur with the upper body of jeff
Verified
Hmmm… Obvious answer could be “Dalmatian” or “Jeff Winger.” Obscure, “Aviator glasses” to always remind him of a spastic orgasm
@JimRash So, what’s the tattoo? Merman Jeff?
This is too brilliant to not acknowledge!
I can’t watch the episode yet (I live in Argentina, so I have to wait several weeks for tonight’s finale).
So, I just want to take the opportunity to thank Steve, Jim and everyone who makes this terrific show possible. Everytime I hear “Pop pop”, my heart enlightens a little more.
PS: I loved The Descendants.
Verified
Thank you. “Pop, pop” I hope your heart got a little jolt.
I wanna know the end of that Gay Duck joke.
me too, i’m so intrigued!
Cruel cruel cruel!
@ Steve : What’s the plan for next season in term of timelines? Can we expect to jump from one another à la Fringe?
As long as they don’t meet up in a church in the finale
That could do for a nice burn thought.
Verified
damnit! you guess it!
@Jim and @Steve
Personal favorite/least favorite episodes?
Verified
Remedial Chaos Theory for best…
Verified
love remedial. love the first two xmas’. first paintball. both the flashbacks. and probably law and order.
@Jim — How uncomfortable was that wig?
@Steve — WHY DO YOU HATE JIM BELUSHI SO MUCH?
Verified
Very hot. Temp-wise
Verified
i think the answer to that is pretty self explanitory. though i do love k-9
Related. Where do you imagine he gets all his costumes? Or where you get your costumes…real life is confusing.
Doctor Who reference for the WIN!
Didn’t the dean get a couple of those costumes from his sister?
