I get those feelings. I think the bitterness set up some good story stuff though and was funny on the whole.

Wouldn't go as far as to say "ruined", but yeah, I didn't like it much. Chang's pitch in this episode was great, but everything else about him was not fun. Literally fart and gay jokes.

S4 has episodes I don't want to touch again. Not even the finale, which, again, is slightly underrated to me. But the Spacetime Convention episode (get Matt Lucas off my TV >_<), the return of the Germans and arguably Knots are Community's low points, I think. Season 5 doesn't have missteps as severe as those. But…

Also I love Ends of the Earth by Lord Huron, the song used at the end. I had to look it up, and now it's going on the phone.

One of the writers. Can't remember who. Saw it on reddit this morning, so that's not necessarily true, but I don't think the reddit guy was lying.

It's so hard to get into the top 5 of a show with highs as high as this; I'm not sure if I can commit to putting it there. But it's probably the clearest candidate for inclusion in a top 5, along with Polygraphy and the Floor is Lava. Obviously nothing from S4 belongs there, even if I find that season somewhat…

Something else I loved about this one: the way the characters in each "pitch" subtly acted like the person pitching it. So in the Dean's they were slightly hesitant, and making gesticulations with their arms when they couldn't think of a word which is what the Dean has done in the past. In Frankie's it was even more…

One of my top 10 Community episodes, I think, and for a show like Community that - while not necessarily being phenomenal television every single week, especially post Season 3 - has incredibly high highs, putting it in the top 10 is a huge compliment.

Yeah and one of the others was "are there clues for 613?"
Which I enjoyed immensely.

Thanks for the info.

I don't know how I feel about this. It was fun and poignant and weird in a lot of ways, and ultimately enjoyable…I guess? I don't know what was going on with the group being so weirdly crazy at the start of the episode though. I mean I get that they were drunk, but it just came off as bizarre. The over-the-top…

This might be reading too much into stuff, but is it possible Todd was chosen to officiate the wedding as a callback to how the group broke him back in Season 3? This episode explored a similar theme.

The amount of times Jeff and De Salvo said "Because the Internet" in that one scene CANNOT be a coincidence, ahaha
