Yahoo! Screen's "Community" Discussion (2009-2015) - Page 73 - Blu-ray Forum

The first episode was awesome; watching the stream of it was unbelievably annoying. The picture had the usual streaming "stuttering," the music was blaring compared to the dialogue, and during the

the picture froze while the song kept going forcing me to refresh the page.

Yahoo Screen has always handled poorly for me.

BaerGriggs · 03-17-2015, 04:46 PM

I loved the first episode. The montages were absolutely hilarious and Leonard's Blade Runner quote was epic haha. For some reason it kept cutting to advertisements when I was trying to watch the final credits scene, going to try to watch that and second episode later today.

so how are Canadian fans supposed to watch this????

djgeneral · 03-17-2015, 09:45 PM

I just downloaded rips of the show as I don't have time to worry about streaming freezing and glitches and stuff. Will watch later or tomorrow. Excited to see how it all plays out.

Yeah, well, if everyone goes that route, there won't be any new episodes (or a movie) after this season.

...on the other hand, the 2nd episode's stream died on me as well.

djgeneral · 03-18-2015, 03:05 AM

And that's why I don't care to watch on Yahoo lol

If the show ends, I also don't care. Half the cast is missing anyways, I doubt it goes on much longer regardless. And if they want people to watch "legally" they should make it more reliable to do so.

Currently watching on the Roku app, working well. Episode 1 is great. Feels good to watch Community again.

It might be your provider.

Stop making excuses for piracy that will hurt the run of the show.

djgeneral · 03-18-2015, 05:14 AM

It doesn't hurt the show

Millions of people steal House of Cards which is NOT available for free, you have to be a subscriber to get it and the show does incredible. Community is available for FREE online. It doesn't matter where or how you get it.

celticmoon · 03-18-2015, 05:30 AM

I think they should have made sure they launched a Yahoo! Screen app for more platforms before the premiere.

Anyway, looking forward to the episodes.

You can't compare Netflix & Yahoo. Yahoo is hurting right now, Netflix is not.

They still get advertiser dollars. Just like network programs are "free".

Stop trying to rationalize piracy.

I watched both episodes yesterday on my iPad and didn't have any problems with Yahoo Screen. Other than one slight stutter it worked perfectly.

Regardless, this show just isn't the same anymore. The thing that made the show so great was the ensemble but with half the cast gone and the replacements underwhelming I'm not enjoying the show as much. I still think it's one of the better sitcoms available, but that's not saying a lot in today's television environment. I'll keep watching but I won't feel the need to make sure I catch new episodes the day they become available.

djgeneral · 03-18-2015, 04:15 PM

I thought the first two episodes were pretty good actually. They have a lot of small bit characters that can easily fill the gaps of the missing characters.

100% this

i007spectre · 03-23-2015, 11:48 PM

Finally watched the first two episodes. I enjoyed them. But the first episode I had to reload the page after every commercial break, because it would be all choppy. Episode two was fine.

burner xxx · 03-23-2015, 11:53 PM

I thought they were both good. Clearly not s1-3 good but still very solid. The 2nd episode had a little too much Dean. Also Britta getting upset for

i007spectre · 03-24-2015, 04:04 PM

Im enjoying them actually filming scenes on location again, the last few seasons everything was shot on sets. Also how they made the new lunchroom look like the old one.

fatediesel · 03-25-2015, 02:28 PM

Really enjoyed yesterday's episode. I thought everything with the dean thinking he's texting Jeff and bringing him the olives was hilarious. Seemed like the kind of episode that could have happened in the early seasons.

celticmoon · 04-01-2015, 07:42 PM

The season has been pretty good so far, but I don't know, it just doesn't feel the same now missing 3 members of the Greendale 7. (Though I am enjoying the new cast members.) The episodes do have a feeling of consistency that they didn't really have last season, though.

Also, does anyone feel like Community has just kinda lost its heart along the way?

For example, the ending of the latest episode with the bird... I have a feeling they would have played it as a straight, sincere moment if it were a season 2 or even season 3 episode. Instead, I feel the final scene ruined it by making it cynical and dark-humored.

Also, we really need an episode to end with this:

It was used in season 4 once and was entirely absent in season 5.
