I couldn't reconcile the fact that everyone seemed to invested in the pillow war with the fact that Troy and Abed were the only people to whom it was really important.

Hey, I just realized, the woman who plays Elaine is a performance artist named Jill Tracy.

Yeah, he's never done anything critically high-profile, but he was kind of a big get. He also had his own show on UPN which did pretty well in its target demographic, and lasted four seasons. I believe it had just ended when he appeared in Scrubs.

I find it surprisingly difficult to write about "My Philosophy." There's so much going on, and they had an even shorter running time than usual to fit it all in, to still leave room for the musical piece at the end. That the writers managed to cram a more-than-full episode into this running time (one that involved four

Probably the script for the episode. :-P

Wouldn't that taste like douche?

That was my favorite gag in an episode full of great ones. I gave it the straight-up A, too.

Actually, the Maw Maw regression was a nice little easter egg. Do you remember that episode back in season 1 when they talked about how music triggered certain vivid memories for her (in that episode, it was "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)"? Jimmy accidentally turned on the Victrola when he was trying to figure out how

New Girl seems likely to reach syndication. Ditto with Glee, if the rights to the songs aren't too complicated. Raising Hope, in mid season 2, still has a ways to go before it hits syndication numbers, so it really depends on how long a game Fox feels like playing.

Or we could just choose to hit "like" on your comment to indicate our disapproval of @avclub-ebedc894d1695b9f4c9a9b39e69db0b9:disqus 's opinion.

I only read the first page or so's worth of comments, so maybe someone else brought this up already, but was I the only one who got kind of freaked out when Abed broke the fourth wall at the end? He's always been the character who, on some level, knows he's in a TV show, but it doesn't make any sense for him to look

Not that I think the movie looks like a masterpiece or anything, but I would be nice if the marketing shift didn't hurt the box office returns on this one, if for no other reason than to increase Ayoade's clout stateside.

I've heard "Sex buddy" before, so it didn't sound like an awkward replacement-word the way a lot of things on this show do.

As counterintuitive as it can sometimes seem, sometimes the elements that make a show so addictive can be the very same ones that make it seem grating in retrospect. Before they got together permanently in Season 8 (oops… spoilers), J.D. and Elliott had two stints as romantic partners, one passionate one-night stand,

See, I never much cared for "Apocalypse Pete" or "When Petes Collide," but they're highly regarded here, so I guess I'm in the wrong on that one. This is the only Pete-Vs.-Pete episode I like, unless you count "Field of Pete."

Yeah, if the show had been permitted to go on that long, that love triangle is probably a road they would have gone down. But by that point, Big Pete would have been in college, and would the show have really been allowed to continue with one Pete in absentia?

You know, Big Pete's love interests get a lot of flack this season, but I never had a problem with them. That's kind of what it's like being an introspective 14-year-old boy; there's a new hopelessly-unobtainable objet d'amour seemingly every week.

I first heard that being read aloud when I was in college. I dunno, it's gross and vividly-told, but it didn't make me want to vomit.

Oh yeah, there were a few of those Garbage Pail Kids cards that really made me kind of queasy when I first saw them, at the tender age of their intended target audience. I remember one was a cow-like kid who cut flanks of meat off himself and ate them. Ugh….

Oh yeah, Fringe. It didn't make me nauseous, but when I saw that Season 1 episode with the virus the size of a large dog sliding around the floor, it made me shudder like crazy. Also, any time they show someone who's been melded with their alt-self, like that guy who turned out to have a face in his abdomen. Egads
