The opening of season two has a great montage of the cast getting ready for the first day of class.

Let's not over expose Britta this season. When was the last time she had a plot with Pierce? I imagined they were off delivering babies in the background like Abed did that one time.

She loves violent crime-scene procedurals…

An episode with Shirley in a central role and barely a mention of her faith? That's NICE!

"Elegant force"  sums up Michael Kenneth Wiliams playing Omar in The Wire perfectly and is at the same time a stronger performance than what he does with Chalky.

You are such an asshole Mike.

Where's the ship-o-meter?

To add to the analysis I would say Annie represents Megan Ganz who wrote the episode. "He has to be a genius. Because if he's just an idiot, I've wasted two weeks of my time. Therefore, he has to be a genius."

Occupy 30 Rock?

Obligatory "you should watch Community" comment.

So how long until the day Jerry snaps and goes postal on the rest of the department?

Duncan must return at some point. He`s going to be a big part of the rest of Britta`s time at Greendale. At least that was my immediate reaction after Britta announced her major.

It's even better read than heard.

I heard an NPR podcast that mentioned him!

This was the time where it would of made sense to have some call back here. I'm not expecting any heavy serialization or anything but I found the developments with the divorce and Stan's reaction to it to be really creatively charged stuff. I want more of that. More of Kyle and Cartman's strange burgeoning friendship

The A plot with Randy had so many hilarious moments it made up for the awkwardly executed and  then totally abandoned B plot with Shelly. Still, I appreciate the guys trying to do more with the character. Other problem for me was how there was not a single mention of the divorce. I get that they essentially reset the

You're right, but I still hated the fact that they glossed over the deaths of those people, Craig's coworkers. Regardless of exactly when their death occured seeing their heads explode like that just strongly reminded me of the metamorphosis that takes place with the cybermen.

The biggest mystery for me is the question of Broyle's superior. That scene where Olivia takes over the investigation from the detective was weirdly long, that line has to be setting something up.

Oops. Thought I had read that.

I think I'm in love.
