Lord Flashheart Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 This season has been one long harsh kick to the groin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morpheus Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I agree, with a few exceptions this has been a very bad season, but last night's episode was remarkably awful IMO. I though the puppet episode would be the low water mark, but this takes the cake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEvilKing Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Last episode was alright, one of the only decent ones this season.Abed is insufferable now, he's worse than Chang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sci-2 Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I missed the first part of the episode. Did they even mention Annie getting her feet rubbed by Cornwallis?In Season 1 they had an episode about cheating, now the characters don't mind tying people up to get a better grade? Neither Brita nor Shirley object?Just seems out of character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reposado Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I missed the first part of the episode. Did they even mention Annie getting her feet rubbed by Cornwallis?.No, but they are being aired out of order. Technically that reveal hasn't happened yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would've been better if she slept with that pottery guy.Last episode was alright, one of the only decent ones this season.Abed is insufferable now, he's worse than Chang.Yeah, Abed had some development but this episode just backslid into old territory.

Aemon Stark Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 In Season 1 they had an episode about cheating, now the characters don't mind tying people up to get a better grade? Neither Brita nor Shirley object?I thought that at first, but then I remembered Annie's (repeatedly) chloroforming a security guard at Jeff's old law office in Season 2. This episode was okay. With a few exceptions this season, most episodes have generally seemed more slowly paced, and where smaller A stories in the past might have been accompanied by a zippy B plot, we haven't much of that structure lately.

Technically that reveal hasn't happened yetThis on top of all the other problems with the show is yet another kick in the groin to loyal fans. Community used to be amazing at air dates corresponding with the show's content. Having a Latvian Independence day joke on Latvian Independence day? Also taking multiple seasons to set up one joke? Amazing! This show is dead and I will miss it. At least we got 3 good seasons to re-watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morpheus Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 It isn't their fault a Christmas episode is airing so late, the show was supposed to start back in the Fall, but NBC pushed it back to 2013. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NBC is the devil. First Conan now this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GallowKnight Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Decent episode. Not one of the best but neither one of the worst.And to Jeff's defense I would say that "Tom Waits" is an great excuse for anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datepalm Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Aw, damn. I wanted to like this - it's the kind of nutty, stylized thing I love - but while the structure was there the execution was lacking, imo. Characterization seemed off, lines weren't funny, characters were underutilized, the Dean, Chang and the timline thing were unconnected and just boring. There was just no zing. OTOH, didn't anyone else Abed in a tank top was kind of sexy? Dude-eat-a-sandwich collarbones, mmm. No one else? Just me, huh? No? :leaving: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sci-2 Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I thought that at first, but then I remembered Annie's (repeatedly) chloroforming a security guard at Jeff's old law office in Season 2.I don't know - chloroforming was more part of the silliness of that episode. I didn't think of it as saying anything about Annie's character.In general it seems like the characters have lost their identities, now they are whatever the writers need them to be from episode to episode. Both Abed and Jeff were Season 1 versions of themselves in this episode. OTOH, didn't anyone else Abed in a tank top was kind of sexy? Dude-eat-a-sandwich collarbones, mmm. No one else? Just me, huh? No?He was more toned than I expected him to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No?OMFG YES! Unfortunately the whole TV tropes sthick is getting incredibly irritating. It's a shame, he used to be one of the funniest characters But other than Abed being annoying, I think it was a really good episode, I don't really get the complaints. :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, it made me sad because I could still see the potential, so extra not-funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
