I was pleasantly surprised with a lot of the music in BCS (especially the "previously on" track in most episodes) but the weird house beat during the tracking shot totally took me out of the show and clashed hilariously with the scene.

But does it TRULY live up to the legendary Community episodes like Remedial Chaos Theory and Modern Warfare?

I thought an "A" was supposed to be your absolute highest rating. I think A's should be saved for the absolute best-of-the-best. Episodes that truly stand out (like Modern Warfare), rather than decently entertaining, but empty, low-budget, contrived, rehashes of what's been done.

Go watch season 1 and its pretty obvious how character development makes the show better

Not what I meant. I mean the characters didn't learn anything or grow. This season feels like everything resets after each episode; seriously, if I played the season in random order without having sen it I probably wouldn't even realize. The earlier seasons had character growth and storylines that built through the…

The editing was slow, the premise has no weight, nobody learned any meaningful lesson and Abed/others acted wildly out of character

Lost something? Perhaps a good chunk of its cast, on-location shooting, the old cinematographers, and half of the original writers? I think S6 is actually pretty good - as close to Season 3 quality as we're going to get - but losing three of the group members is traumatic even if they weren't the most important.

Haha autocorrect got me.

"I just want to be entertained, and this episode more than fulfilled that criteria."

Some of the clients were funny and hopefully something good comes of the whole Chuck thing, but I can't help but feel this was one of the weakest episodes so far. I've been rewatching Breaking Bad and in comparison, this episode in particular had no punch.

Not to mention the annoying buzz from some random light or other fixture that they're too cheap and/or lazy to fix.

To be fair, the lady she was doing that to was doing a similar thing by essentially admitting she was wiling to lie and destroy the Underwood's lives. Is it nearly as bad (especially considering what Claire and Franke do unknowingly to other characters)? No. But I thought it was justified.
