Will her old streak of killing shows she appears on ring true once again or will Community's survival skills outlast even her?
Oh man, first no outdoor scenes and now the whole thing is being filmed in a basement.
In an ideal world this show would have ended at the 4th season but with Dan Harmon.

"Showkiller" really just means "good enough to get cast on shows repeatedly". Lots of shows fail, after all.
That said, I'm not super optimistic about Community getting a seventh season, esp if Yahoo continues to be a basketcase. The Yahoo Screen website and app is horrendously designed and desperately needs to be less ugly and awkward before the show actually launches.
It doesn't need a 7th season, just a movie.
Nice especially Keith Davids. He was great in Enlisted.

I don't expect it.
But I hope for more than six seasons, all the same. This is a great show with a great cast. Lightning doesn't always strike twice. I think Mitch Hurwitz is an all-time genius but Running Wilde wasn't remotely as good as Arrested Development. John Enbom did amazing work with Party Down; Free Agents (US) was not that good. Harmon even said that his year of being fired, he was trying to write "the next Community" and it didn't work out (I'm paraphrasing from memory from the CommuniCon panel he did, I think.) Better he continue with Community than try something new that might be less good.
(I am aware of Rick and Morty, I love it, but still.)

I just want a good closing season with proper send offs for everyone.
I don't want a 7th season.
I was already resigned to Community getting cancelled after last season, and I'm excited for the new season, but I'm not sure I'd want it to continue on for another season after this. Give it a good finish.
In terms of a movie, what would it do? I don't know if Community is built for a movie, if they were to keep it within it's normal setting. I could see it work if it involved an off-the-wall concept in the style of Abed-centric episodes.

there you go- an autobiographical movie by abed in the style of the social network about his time in school (basically featuring none of the main cast, but people 'as' the main cast and the original cast members showing up as cameos). or maybe abed's longform documentary he made about his time in college (which would let chevy chase, donald glover, and yvette nicole brown along with others show up).

The cast keeps shrinking. Probably best to end it before it's just McHale and Rash left.
After the movie of course.
After the movie of course.
I think I'd still watch that.
Bring back the plot line of the two of them living across the hall in an apartment complex and retool the show into a Seinfeld clone starring Jeff. The Dean is the show's Kramer.
I hope the movie will have the original cast.
I mean, Troy is still at sea/rescued with Lavar right?
I have a feeling a movie would be horrible without them all
Gillian will stick till the very end

A movie would need to meet more requirements than I think are likely to be met for it to work. A full cast is the first and biggest hurdle. What it would be about is also a big question. Unless they did some sort of alternate universe thing (which isn't unlikely, now I think about it) it would be shit, and even if they did it wouldn't be much better. Like someone said, turning a 2 parter of paintball into one feature length episode is the most likely.

This scared me for a second. Sometimes I forget winter 2015 means around January or February.

Wait. It's early next year? I was afraid it was fall next year.
No way it takes them a year to make 13 episodes of this show lol especially when they turned around 22 episodes in like half a year.

Ooh nice. Should be a lot fun meeting Britta's parents.

I wonder how they say bagel.
They'll say it normally and Britta will be the odd one out.
Not like they're from New York.

That's not true.
Troys goodbye was filmed outside, in the world's most obvious studio back lot alley
I'm guessing they mean location shoots outside of the studio.
Oh man, that's great!
Was hoping Yahoo might go outside once in a while.
Also, whatever is behind them is creeping me the hell out. That weird 'dont like seeing circles' thing in full affect.
Yup. Since season 3 ghere have been a ton of "outside" on-lot shoots, but never outside of the actual studios since the Luis Guzman episode of Season 3 I believe.
Off Topic but kinda cool: Jim, Gillian, and Yvette at Dan Harmon's wedding. <3

Crazy that a show that wss previously on a major network has a bigger budget now that they are making basically a web series, times are changing.

I don't have a link at the moment, but there's an Instagram video of a dance number performed for the wedding, with all the dancers holding giant cutouts of Harmon's head and it is amazing.
