I fell asleep in a beam of sunlight
my partner's been really on edge ever since we switched
chang during the courtroom scene
the phone call, so funny
I know I am an episode behind. But I always wondered this myself. On Stargate SG-1 as a pulp sci-fi show they did body switches all the time, and all the actors were excellent at it. like creepy accurate. All 4 of the main cast were just beyond words hilariously awesome at it. I could see them taping the scene twice, one with the original actor so the person pretending could study and repeat it.
Can you youtube this for us?
Also the episode tag

And like 76 people watched it.
No justice, no peace.
Right before last night's episode, I watched the commentary on Advanced Dungeons and Dragons
I love that
I also love absurdity, and I love Community.
Something about the character and the actor really works.
Season 1 of Community was good. In fact, it had a very strong season 1. But the show has come a long way from season 1 in terms of the average content found in its episodes. The show is supposed to be about a community college, but this comes up so rarely anymore that sometimes I forget that's what its even about. Until last night's episode, I had completely forgotten that they were taking biology this semester.
Though I think the show should end with Abed staring at a snowglobe of Greendale.
But if you can't keep that up, parody works, which is what Season 2 went with in the first half. It's certainly a lot better then trying to force character stuff.
I just liked season one the best and tire of metaness fairly quickly.
I appreciate that even when they do parody, they keep going with the character stuff/main story. The zombie episode and all the themed episodes actually happened; it's never a "wouldn't it be weird if life was like a musical? imagination/dream sequence..." type deal.
Season Two was slightly wilder, but even Abed's Uncontrollable Christmas (which I found weird until the final act) was explained, and explored Abed's character (the same reason I would defend last week's outing).
It's strange, because it usually takes a show to find its identity, but I feel like Season One feels much more hit than miss, whereas Season Three so far has been a toss-up. It's smart. Community will always be smart, because its writers are smart. But what they are doing with it is questionable. It's just too much, I think. This episode showcases that nicely. There's this episode early on in Season One, where Jeff defends Britta, who cheated on a Spanish test. The court is a pool area. The scenario was weird, but the entire process was tied well into its Community college "mythology" and explored its characters. Basic Lupine Urology was, once again, just pretty self-indulgent. Again, well written, I'm sure with a plethora of very smart references thrown in (never watched a single Law and Order episode), but not tied to anything relevant within the show itself. Instead of investigating who these characters are, we have this weird Law and Order scenario, and within this weird scenario, this weird Todd scenario. Encompassing that was the biology teacher who is kinda detached and critical of the shenanigans but also not.
You know, sometimes it's fine to just be a fucking comedy series.
I didn't intend to go on for so long, but I guess I just liked Season One too much to not complain a bit about the recent turn of events. And anyway, with the ratings Community is getting, I wouldn't bet on a renewal.
Edit: Ah, I almost forgot. And, of course, we have the obligatory Britta bash (her only two seconds this episode). Cannot for the life of me imagine why they changed her character into something so pathetic.
EDIT: Warning: the last 3 paragraphs contain a possibly big future plot spoiler.
There's just no way that this is even remotely possible.
Seems like that's a significant spoiler in the third to last paragraph of that interview. Or maybe I'm just stupid.
Shit. Yeah, that just passed me when I first read the article. I probably should warn about that.
"Men need to have a code. Women must have something equivalent. A codette?"
Huh? This confuses the heck out of me.
