I loved the crap out of it, and thought to myself that if that was the end of Community, it was a satisfying way to go. “But,” I thought to myself, “NBC renewed Community, so I just have to hope that Sony doesn’t do something stupid like not re-signing Dan Harmon to be the showrunner and everything will be awesome next year!”
