It's funny how weird and off-putting THIS episode feels when compared to the rest of Community. The concept of "the entire school committing to a bizarrely specific pop culture homage" is somehow more "grounded" and familiar than… a fairly laid back episode with nothing too insane or far-fetched happening.
But I did…

I suppose I can now say with utmost confidence:
They fixed Annie. And filtered Britta.

I hope the "let's see how terrible Troy's voyage with LeVarr Burton is going" joke is kept as a background gag for future episodes.

A-
Such a good NORMAL episode. Good plot lines, good development, and I hope they build on the character developments made instead of dropping 'em like they… tend to do. I love that the show is fearlessly embracing change with great comedic success.

Normal serial killer stories are sad, methodical, haunting, and directed by David Fincher.
And I happened to LIKE the complete nonsensical serial killer with no real goal, motivations, objective, and other stuff that well, yeah, those elements certainly make the whole thing have a POINT but….
You don't KNOW me!

Give me your show, Murphy! You clearly have no idea what constitutes for horror. Or at least guilty, stupid fun. Asylum was a good as it gets, and you barely had creative control!

Ok! Now since that was abject failure, let's brainstorm on how future seasons can convey legitimate horror with sense and logic! I say set a mini series in the future on a spaceship. Let there commence alien abortions and improperly utilized demonic forces in an otherwise science fiction oriented season! With special…

Man, this is just getting better and better. I'm just discovering them all, but Cartoon Network has damn good lineup!

I just love that Duncan is freaking BACK!!
And Troy is gone… So long the "true repairman." May sud guide your sails towards new shores. And fish for Kunta.

AHS: Vice!!

I wanted to think of a good response, but you are definitely right. This is a really tough issue to dance with, and HIMYM certainly didn't approach it's "joke" with much tact or preconceived thought. But, as I stated in my first comment, I never found the ruse to be particularly funny to begin with. I merely wanted to…

I just want to bludgeon Ryan Murphy with a tire iron, stash his unconscious body, and then set the fourth season on a futuristic spaceship.
For seven or eight episodes. Think basically a dark, sadistic Star Trek parody.

It seems many had "problems" with Asylum's out there logic. Many of my friends didn't like it because of the aliens. I have only really committed to seeing all of Asylum through, and personally enjoyed it a great deal. Although it was still spastic and had no idea how to end itself. Even I could write better…

I've been thinking a bit, and have come to the conclusion that perhaps the concept of Finn losing an arm is a somewhat specific manifestation of fate. In alternate realities, past lives, dreams, the FUTURE, he has lost his right arm. But notice how alternate Finn succumbed to the evil powers of Ice King's crown, or…

I liked American Hustle, but I still think that Lawrence's performance is a bit overstated. She is a fine actress, who has proved her worth in quite a number of films, but here she is just about… Average. The character she plays is little more than "oblivious wild card," someone who acts sporadically and irrationally,…

Stereotyping and discrimination is the basis for almost all comedy.
We will only reach true equality and self-inflection when we learn that it is okay to laugh at ourselves and others from time to time.
Though I hardly find HIMYM funny.

I mostly scoff at the screenwriting nom. I refuse to accept that American Hustle had anything more than an average script entirely bolstered by great actors.

I just think it's fascinating that AT can simply DO this.
For any show (let along a children's show) to be fully capable of sustaining multiple character plots with simultaneous weight, hilarity, and confidence is something I have never seen before. And yes, the central narrative isn't necessarily strong, but I would…

A-
Great humor and plotting. Although it was sparse on actual development, I place this slightly above the really good Basic Lupine Urology. I compare those two because they are somewhat similar.

Agreed with the two-parters. "Nightmare in Silver" would have improved vastly with more time to tell the story.
But I believe Moffat said that he only wanted to do one-offs for Season 7, so we may be seeing two-parters in the next season.
