B+. Nice, warm-hearted finale. Glad to see that it didn't try to be yet another "series" finale and either missing the mark or failing miserably.
It was VERY silly, but with a decent amount of belly laughs to make up for it.

This season truly has been a fantastic return to form. Easily the best shape the show has been in since the first half of season 3.
In fact, I don't think I can pick a least favorite episode, as I generally thought favorably of all of them to some degree.
And for Jeff not really teaching this season… I'll let the show…

Oh ya! I can really get into this. But I am unsure of one thing.
Is this an anthology show in the sense that this story arc will be ending after a few episodes, or a more seasonal anthology?

Ooh, that was a nice closer to your review!

Oh, yeah. It's entertaining, has great lines, and Jacobi AND Barrowman.
And nothing happened after that. The series ended there.

I suppose I DO often forget that Utopia wasn't all that bad in retrospect.
And in honoring your spoiler-free policy, I posit this one word (open to interpretation):
Payoff.

I just like where this sets up the finale. The potential for moving on or staying right where they are is firmly in place, and if they do it right, next week could be a very strong closer.
I also agree with Todd that the scene with Jeff and Britta was the most intriguing and probably with probably the saddest subtext.…

A-.
It felt formless and all over the place, because that was the point. The story "ended" right when it "should have" given typical narrative, but then it continued going on from the ending. It's still pretentious and doesn't entirely get that point across with total clarity, but that's why it gets a minus.

I peacock comedy!

American Horror Story: Hell Circus?!?

Christopher Lloyd is most certainly capable of playing more than goofy comedic roles, and I believe he has done so on Broadway.
I also remember in Clue how his philandering therapist character was fairly reserved, often spouting one liners but appearing to be above the other zany cast of characters.
But like Chevy…

Yeah. Conceptually the episode is fairly sound, and only falls apart once it fails to make any of the story reveals meaningful in any way. But the music was good, and I liked the kind of story it was trying to tell.

… Yep. Now I get it. Subservient lackey to Megatron. Same damn voice. Same TYPE of voice. Hell, I think Cobra Commander was on an episode of Transformers.

I wonder who did the voice here. It sounded convincing enough, I suppose.
And Starscream and Cobra Commander are voiced by the same guy?!?!

A. It is probably the most perfect homage that Community has ever done

My knowledge of GI Joe is limited. All I know is that golden voice belonging to the Cobra commander. It always gets me when I watch segments of the show, and had me in fits with this episode. I did watch a decent amount of Transformers, though, so I did get a very nice sense of where the homage and love was aimed at.…

IT-2: Judgement Period Where the Planet Slowly Transforms Into the Worst
Example of Procrastination in (What's Left of) Human History

What's going to happen when the twenty-somethings in about ten/fifteen years have nostalgia for this…
Whether I like it or not, iCarly was a major component in the pop culture of my younger years, and BOY did it build up my love for disparaging irony and callousness.

Yeah! More "arbitrary means to consistently threaten the Doctor's life while the Daleks never capitalize on the many moments they have to just KILL him."
This is where the Daleks became just cannon fodder in the new series. To the point where other (seemingly less harmful) threats led to better suspense.

Make it an AD quote, and you just may receive an unblinking stare of pity.
