Question: If Community isn’t renewed and this is your last day on set ever, what will you take away from this experience and what will you miss the most?
Gillian Jacobs: I’m going to cry. It so far exceeded my expectations of what the show would be. This is one of the best pilots I’ve ever read, so already my expectations were high. Then shooting the pilot -
[Jacobs begins to cry.]
Yvette Nicole Brown: Oh, it’s OK, Stinkers. She’s such a pretty crier. My God, she’s a pretty crier.
Gillian Jacobs: I’ve never worked with a group of people that have impressed me so consistently on such a daily basis. I feel like given the nature of this show, we’ve been thrown everything from an action movie to a noir to My Dinner With Andre. Everybody rose to it every single week. The writing and the creativity and the scope and the ambition of the show has been— [Jacobs’s sobbing becomes ragged.]
Yvette Nicole Brown: Oh, well. I can’t sit here and not hug you.
[Brown and Brie embrace Jacobs.]

I like Lucy Liu, and I’m pleased they’re casting a WOC as Watson because TV NEVER does that, but I’m worried they’re just doing this so they can slap them together while avoiding homoeroticism or, heaven forbid, gay people.

Further proof they want their show to fail. I mean come on. Casting a woman as Watson is so… American. And I’m not saying that in like a snobby “America sucks” kind of way… it’s more in a “come on American society, are you that ridiculous?” And of course, they cover up the homophobic feel of this decision by making her Asian and therefore having a racial argument for why it’s socially...

But their intervention did more than take advantage of a cultural moment—it shaped that moment to mitigate against the potential negative effects on a national audience. From an organizer’s perspective, there is a danger embedded in stories of triumph over segregationists, especially a story as prettily presented as this one.
