Probably because he has no self-censoring ability but also doesn't like hurting other people. He really is a big baby, and I don't just say that just because he has the perfect body type to look hilarious in a diaper

Craig Robinson was fucking gold this entire movie. His ecstatic wriggle up to heaven killed me

George Michael's arc was by far my favorite from a character perspective. He's still the same person, he's just growing up and learning new things, like that he's a gifted Bluth liar and that he has OS (opened sexuality).

I would say that Tyrion probably turned out alright because he was, in a fashion, isolated from his family. Tywin resented him, Cersei pretty much hated him, and though Jaime was fond of him that's still enough of a negative atmosphere for him to go off and find his own way through life, in a fashion. Hence why, when…

Oh right, Biology 101 and its 2001 scene. That was actually a very good episode for that dynamic, and while I remember Advanced Gay less, I believe you. Still though, after those it pretty much dropped off the map, which is a shame. It did the show a service to have more powerful character relationships like the…

Eh, S3 didn't exactly steer the series into the best direction. I'd be a lot more upset if they swerved the plotlines after S2, for instance.

He's just being honest in classifying them as they compare to older Community, which is reasonable. A lot of criticism based on S4 comparisons, and just a few comparisons to the previous seasons to see what fit thematically or humor-wise and what didn't.

Man, I'm kind of with you in that the buildup was really fun. Mixology being the first real hint:

He worked really well up to S3's Advanced Documentary Filmmaking: Redux. He was pansexual, had some wacky costumes that the clip show episode put a perfect capper on, and was endearingly incompetent. That's enough for a side character to be sure, and Redux was a fantastic episode for him, because it was about his…

To be fair, that was at its strongest during S1 and barely existent post-S2

Jeff already impersonated the Dean in Advanced Documentary Filmmaking: Redux, and it was amazing

When it first came out, there was the general feeling that absolutely nothing would ever beat it it was so standout. Now that we've been through a S2 with a boatload of potential favorite eps, I don't think anyone would object to it being a bit lower on the list.

They've all been the objectively funniest lines on the show, yet wrong and reductive character-wise

Where was the depth here? Was it in the confessionals at the end, which were like cliffnote emotional notes for half the characters and mad libs emotional notes for the others?

No, I think it's just a crutch. It's easier to make a story seem powerful or worth watching if it ends on an emotionally strong note, but doing it every episode makes it far weaker, and failing just makes it bland.

What was that about molesting Chang now?

Jesus, yes, they've completely torpedoed the fun of the Dean by having him dress up in random (not funny, just random) outfits and harass Jeff for a few minutes every episode. Jim Rash is still great, but looking at it objectively the writing for him has been pretty terrible this season.

The songs were just dull as hell. Yes, you CAN make your character sing rhymes in an upbeat manner, but it's hollow unless it's actually funny or meaningful.

I really can't see where you're coming from. D&D, Chaos Theory, Modern Warfare, etc. are very tightly plotted. They're also absolutely hilarious and well-directed, but let's just focus on the structure here. This episode revealed a pretty good premise (shared trauma on a forest excursion) kind of awkwardly, with an…

One of like three good lines this ep
