Analog This: Community, and How Social Media Saved it

Warning! Some minor spoilers for tonight's episode. And if you are a community college student then no, you cannot be a pirate as well.

I am not one of the righteous few who has deactivated their Facebook account and returned to reality. Having said that, here are a few reasons why I hate social media: it is addicting, it is causing people to be too concerned about the affairs of others, and it all together makes us more vain and self-concerned.

And here is why I love social media: without it, "Community" might not have been back on the air tonight. I am not in any way taking credit away from the show's brilliant mastermind Dan Harmon, nor the NBC executives, who are not getting enough credit for continuing to keep this strange little show on the air, despite its low ratings.

Because social media isn't a big enough burden on your life already, you can now find The Reel Deal on Twitter. Of course, you'll find links to all of the latest reviews and articles. However, you will also get other trinkets of my sage movie wisdom, and perhaps some special previews of future posts. Keep Reel Dealin' on.*
