I'm with domo. I can't quite put my finger on it, but something isn't quite right.

True, Community doesn't owe me, the viewer, shit. But then again, that means I don't owe it blind fawning when it takes one wrong step after another. This was at one point a great show, one that seemed to work in spite of Dan Harmon's very visible and public problems. It just doesn't seem to be working anymore. I hope Harmon and co. are able to get things back on track and soon, because as it looks now, there's a better than good chance based on ratings alone that this gets canceled mid-season (and the severe drops from week to week this season seem to show that us detractors here on the board are not alone!)
And just as a side note, using that Simpsons quote to "win" an argument has got to be the TV equivalent of comparing someone to Hitler.

I just thought it'd be a fun time to use the quote. I don't really have a dog in this fight - I understand that all of this is subjective.

Rewatching the second season and nothing this season is as bad as that lawyer episode which is just bad. Chase has the only funny moment.

What lawyer episode? "Accounting for Lawyers"? Because that's a generally agreed upon fan favorite.

It's one of the weakest eps, but not in the same league as Kettle Quorn or Pierce's Asian Date

Really? It only has Chase's shouting over the bald thing and a bunch of nonsense around it. There was no reason for Jeff to go back and it simply doesn't fit.

Was a really nonsensical and stupid move.

If you can't see the appeal of being wrestled to the ground by a half-crazed Alison Brie.... well, I guess we just have two different, irreconcilable views of human existence.

Faith restored, this is already one of the greatest Community episodes ever. Holy shit!
EDIT: Confirmed. One of the best eps ever. No idea what was going on the first three episodes this season, maybe Dan Harmon was busy the whole time working on this one

I said wait until the Halloween stuff to make final judgment. Now I just have to wait 2 and half hours. Oh well, got my next Musical post to watch until then.

So apparently I'm not as sold on this episode as you guys, but I was in tears when Troy came back up to find the troll staring at him amid the ruins of his apartment. Britta's pizza dance was also pretty funny.
Also, anyone else notice that the dice was coming out of the Greendale flag anus symbol? (Also, nice touch making the centre represent Jeff).

General consensus on the internet seems to be that this was the greatest episode of all time (of anything)

Wow, they already beat Britta's middle finger failure with her pizza dance. I think she's replacing Glover as my favorite physical actor on the show. Also glad to see Shirley have some time to shine too. Also I don't get your spoiler Dom.

Every single time Jeff hit his head tonight was equally funny. And the Troy universe was a thing of beauty. I wonder if
this tweet knives brought up earlier is an indication that the alternate timelines are going to provide the thrust for the rest of the season. Let's hope!

But he's the only male aged 18-34 (i.e. the audience surrogate). Have we no place in the rainbow?

The circle makes the complete Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Indigo Violet, that doesn't seem to put Jeff on the outside to me
