"
Troy jumping around isn't a joke."

Yeah, in the episode where Troy's trade skills were first established, it was presented pretty clearly as a *good* thing. They're not knocking AC repairmen, they're knocking him having to leave his friends.

I guess, but it also felt pretty true to the characters and the moment in the story. Abed takes film very seriously. Shirley's going to be pleased if she just laughs a couple times in a 2 hour period. It didn't really stick out that much.

I actually kinda miss the Jeff/Abed dynamic. Troy/Abed is obviously great, but it was always nice to see how much those two characters could really do for each other.

Yeah, as…complicated as it is that Allison Brie kinda plays both the sexpot and the ingenue, the writers have at least hung a lot of lanterns on it. "We try not to sexualize Annie", etc.

With Archer, Justified, and Community's second seasons, and P&R's third, we were living in a golden age AND WE DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE IT! IT'S GONE!

That was one of those lines that was funny enough that I was able to set aside the fact that it came from pretty much no where.

I didn't know "REAL TALK" meant "one person's totally subjective opinion".

I'd add only that the election campaign has no significant campaign issues, so it seems weirdly apolitical."

Except isn't it kinda understood that Schurr is a bit more central to P&R's direction than Daniels? He's not going anywhere, is he? Besides that, I'd argue that P&R is a lot more dependent on it's lead actor than The Office ever was (I think this episode helps illustrate that). And she's not going anywhere, either.

Whether or not she wins or loses doesn't make her perfect, though. Her major flaws- socially awkward, mommy issues, inconsiderate of her friends- were well established long before the campaign, and have been elements of the show throughout this arc.

I'm just the opposite. I think she's been getting her teeth kicked in in the election story arc. Her team abandoned her, she cost her boyfriend his job, her announcement was a disaster, Barkley is forever one step ahead of her…the only "wins" she's had were when Sean Hayes lost the interview tape (and that's a lot…

I think the thing about DS9's finales is that they presented less imminent danger, and more things that threatened the long-term status quo. Like, Data stuck in the 1800s kinda has a natural short-term resolution- you go and get him back. You didn't buy that he was just going to be left there, so it was a matter of…
