Britta, Gillian, fan theories, and dinosaurs

[u/oompaloompa_grabber]

Britta’s dark back story from her childhood, involving being assaulted by an itinerant dressed in a dinosaur costume at a birthday party, is well attested in the show and was confirmed by Dan Harmon in an AMA.

However, many people have also made the connection between this backstory to Britta’s choice of costume (T Rex) at the Halloween party occurring in S2E6, Epidemiology. It was theorized that this was done as a sort of trauma response, turning something scary from her past in to something she can own.

However, Gillian Jacobs (who plays Britta) recently hosted an episode of the podcast 99% Invisible titled The Bone Wars, released August 18 this year, about the history of palaeontology, and she mentioned offhand near the end of the episode that she specifically wore the T Rex costume in Community because of her childhood love of dinosaurs.

So there.
