I want to say some names to you. Jeffrey Dahmer. Ted Bundy. Rich. What do they have in common? We don’t know them very well. What do we know about Ben Chang? We know he’s nuts. (Let him FINISH!) We know he’s dangerous, unpredictable, selfish. We know he uses his name to make bad puns. (Guilty as Chang’d.) When he talks, he over- and under-emphasizes his words seemingly at random! When he eats, he holds his fork like a murderer’s knife, gnawing at its skewered payload like a deranged woodland rodent. (Bring it home!) We know he smells like Band-Aids, we know he dresses like a Cuban cab driver, we know he exhibits–nay–flaunts proudly obvious symptoms of over half a dozen disorders you wouldn’t wish on your worst enemy’s pets. (Feel the heeeaaat!) We know these things about Ben Chang, and so much more than we ever wanted to know about him. Why? Because it’s there. It’s on the surface. What you see may be what you don’t want, but… it’s also what you get.

Who is this kettle corn popping phantom? This human question mark? This number eight scoop of vanilla tapioca with a Ph.D. in being swell and a Master’s in “Everybody loves me”? Who is it?! We may never know. I only know one thing. Nobody is this good a person. And nobody can get any worse than this.

No, David, you cannot help Jeff Winger win at naked Pool. That is a fixed point in time.

There’s going to be an Inspector Spacetime (Kickstarter-funded) web series!

Word out of the Gallifrey One Doctor Who convention is that there is going to be a web series of Community’s Who-parody showInspector Spacetime. It sounds like it won’t be Donald Glover and Danny Pudi in the starring roles, however. Travis Richey, who plays the Inspector on the show within a show will be producing six episodes. [bessyboo via Charlie Jane]

Edit: Our own Charlie Jane Anders, who was at the panel, adds that there was a dramatic reading of the first webisode, in which the Inspector and Constable Reginald visit the planet New Seventh Earth Two, where they meet the Blogons, vanquish them with the Inspector’s “optic penknife,” and then run into a deserted warehouse where they get trapped. Apparently, later in the episode we’ll get to meet the Inspector’s arch-nemesis. The panel also included a slideshow explaining the long line of actors who played the Inspector: Christopher Lee in the 1960s, Stephen Fry in the 1980s, and Steve Carell in the 1990s TV movie.

Second Edit: Travis Richey, Inspector Spacetime himself, wrote in to clarify a few points:

Dan Harmon, Community, NBC and Sony have nothing to do with this web series. I pitched it to them after my first episode of Community, but never heard back from them one way or another. So I’m going to do it myself, with the help of fans. I’m launching a Kickstarter campaign in a matter of hours for an equipment budget, and the complete story can be read there.
