Arsenal boy mesylf, Stephen77. And from your avatar, I gather you're an Annie fan too. Our loves don't always get the attention and kudos they deserve.

Anybody still recovering from Barcelona vs. Chelsea last night? At least there's a new Community episode in a day or so. That should sooth something at least.

Definitely Top Ten for me as well. I felt the same exhiliration on my first watch as I did during Critical Film Studies (the My Dinner With Andre episode), 2.09 (the first blanket fort episode) and the clips episode of people just taking wild chances and nailing it. I didn't get everything upon first watch, but was…

Fantastic points, gauloises. Thoroughly enjoyed reading your lengthy posting. It is obvious how much pleasure you take in the show, and you communicate that love beautifully. This is why I visit this page; to hopefully stumble upon thoughtful ruminations that enhance my love of the show and also give me no end of…

All the haters of DualaDean can go and fuck themselves. I have watched Rash's intro probably a dozen times already and it never fails to make me laugh like a mental case. If I didn't have my avatar coined already, I would be DualaDean by now. I am so jealous of whomever is gonna use that name.

Nice impassioned write-up. Will look for your postings in the future. A little fanboyish at times, but then you make no secret of that, and you're arguments are pretty solid regardless. It's great that you're along for the ride. We need more Community fans like you. Good form DHIG. (You also caught a lot of stuff that…

"It's almost as if, now that Community has security in its syndication prospects, they no longer feel obliged to be the best show on television (and there was a period, last year, where a strong argument could have been made in that regard)."

Pavement, 3.15 was not a disaster. It was a fine, entertaining episode with a wonderful pay-off. Stop slagging on episodes you haven't given much thought. Many of the episodes this season have been growers, and if you could get past your own Abed complex of tuning out anything that rubs you the wrong way, you will…

Hey friend, you left out Alison Brie in the "amazing" department. You left her out, and it's not right, so I thought I'd point it out to you. She was amazing. I'm sure you regret your omission.

You don't think the Glee show was an A?

Great points. To that, I will add that one should't always believe what Abed says. He was after all the one that said he has confidence coming out of his but. That might just have been part of a tactic to smooth things over. Perhaps he did believe it to some degree, but then again he would run with that strain even…

That tag was great for two reasons: first it showed that Abed is still Abed. The guy just went through some rough emotional stuff, so you can understand his wailing in the context of his one safe place having been compromised. (Too much initiative too soon, Annie.) 
Secondly, Annie's delight at being part of…

This was, in
my opinion, an instant classic. It wasn’t easily digestible TV by any stretch,
but my God was it rich and fulfilling. Perhaps not laugh-a-minute like 3.13
was, but enrapturing and wildly entertaining from start to finish. No other
show on TV, let alone any other sitcom would be capable of delivering something
l…

They all have habits. I have noticed that Alison Brie has a
strange little tick with her upper lip when she speaks in real life, but you
hardly see it in Annie. To be able to remove something that is an habitual part
of your speech in the service of your character; well, it's rather chameleonic.
She's rather good, that…

Outstandingly astute and touching analysis, Schmoker. That's why I come here first thing. The commenters here, at least the ones who do not succumb to knee jerk reactions the moment something rubs them the wrong way, makes the experience of watching this show so much more pleasurable and enriching. In a way, we are a…

Good form, Catgun.

That Comedy Bang Bang podcast is pure gold, although it does run for about 15 minutes too long. Gillian is so fun on there and Andy Daly… gotta look that guy up. That male nurse character of his is fucking genius.

I'm not sure how much of a "highly sexual free spirit" Brie actually is in her personal life. I think she exudes sexuality for sure, and plays with it for the benefit of her career and showbiz persona. She strikes me as extremely fastidious, probably someone who micro-manages almost every aspect of how she presents…

This whole Chevy/Harmon drama just blows to high heaven. And just when Pierce was starting to get really funny again. I have watched 3.13 about five or six times already and the blue ink think makes me laugh hysterically almost every time. Not to mention: "And the most dangerous weapon of all: the penis fly-trap." I…

Very good point, Stephen77. This was in effect a C story, but was good enough for a B story in any other week. In terms of hierarchy, Britta's story was A for this week and the Troy and Abed showdown was B, setting the stage for it to dominate next week. I thought Annie's scream right at the start of the episode was…
