? The entire show is "Winger centric", Jeff Winger is the lead character.

Yes. Just know that Jeff meets his dad, and then graduates. Everything else is pretty inessential.

I just really love Buzz's character already. We already know so much about him and I can't wait to find out even more.

But they're going to decrease riots by 40%!

I think Intro to Teaching was more entertaining and more like vintage Community, but I think Repilot was better for characterization. The Abed/Nic Cage stuff was really fun but didn't add up to much.

I think that was intentional, since most of the episode took place in a defunct study room.

If Community premiered to a 1.3, it would be the highest rated episode of an NBC sitcom since October.

The only episode of Season 4 that is allowed to be discussed is Herstory of Dance.

I actually think Britta's transformation was handled pretty brilliantly at first. The Britta we meet in the pilot is a strong and confident woman with a lot of abrasiveness, but it's slowly revealed throughout the first season that it's just a persona and she's pretty guarded and insecure underneath all of it - from…

Probably not, considering Community has the tendency to premiere big and then drop like a rock.

I always wondered why the show got Shirley back with Andre anyway. They started to tell a pretty interesting "divorced housewife trying to get her life back together" story with her in Season 1 but then they were like "nah, nevermind" and just threw her back with her husband. Not that I minded, really, and it made…

When I say "darkness" I basically mean melancholy. That's what I thought worked well in Repilot. My favorite brand of Community is humor mixed with melancholy - episodes like Mixology Certification and Advanced Dungeons & Dragons.

Yeah. Not too long ago it looked like Community was going to die a painful death, with its final season being a much-maligned trainwreck filled with backstage drama. Whatever we get is going to be so much better.

Community only needs a 1.4 to be the highest-rated episode of an NBC comedy since the Michael J. Fox/Sean Saves the World premieres, which is both sad and hilarious.

It was contrived, but was there any way a return to Greendale wouldn't be? It was either that or make the show yet another sitcom about people hanging out in an apartment, and I much prefer what we got.

I took it as a jab at Season 4, although your theory also makes sense.

I think they graduated and just didn't find jobs. Not exactly uncommon.

Agreed. Annie and Britta especially. They felt like their Season 1/2 selves!

Oh my god, that puppet episode reveal was the moment I realized Season 4 was garbage. Annie giving a sexual foot massage to her professor? Troy burning down a forest?

"My wife dumped me. My girlfriend left me. And they're sisters! There's entire other families mad at me."
