First they came from the drow but I did not speak because I didn't take the drow language skill

It's not an argument I want to make further because most of the people who agree with me are probably garbage racists.

I hadn't seen the show before I started watching it on Netflix a short while ago. I just finished season 4. Here are some random thoughts I had (using spoiler tags in case anyone is in a similar situation to me): - Whoever said that the show was a "slow burn" is right on the money. I quite liked the early season 1 episodes because it showed how well they captured the setting (I went to a community college here in the UK and there are quite a few similarities) but taking the first three seasons all together makes me appreciate them more. - I was obsessed with trying to turn my problems in high school into self-aware sitcom jokes, so I feel close... sometimes too close, to Abed. - I wasn't really all that fond of season 3's dictator Chang storyline as I felt it was too out-there even by the standards of this show. I agree with the person who said that Chang's first season characterisation was the best use of Jeong and the character itself. - Season 4 is a weird one. I knew about the stuff with Harmon, and while I thought that the majority of the season was worse than what had come before, it was really just kind of average rather than being outright bad. Then the last cluster of episodes came and made the rest of the season look worse in retrospect. The Freaky Friday, origin stories and puppet episodes were not good (I liked how they got the Avenue Q design of the puppets down pat, and the cast did a good job as voice actors, but that was it), but the season finale was probably the worst episode I've seen so far. The "alternate timelines" gimmick was good at first, but they just leaned way too much into it. They evidently didn't know what to do with Troy and Britta as a couple, or how to effectively use Pierce/Chase, and the "Changnesia" storyline is frankly baffling; I was not at all surprised when it had zero payoff and they just kind of shrugged it off at the start of season 5. Cornwallis seems like a wasted character, he's really nothing more than another "rear end in a top hat teacher", which Chang had already done better in the very first season... it's a shame because I really like Malcolm McDowell. - I love the Dean and I think Jim Rash does a great job, but his increasingly creepy behaviour towards Jeff up to this point is, er.... well, more weird than funny imo.

I actually think the Freaky Friday episode of S4 is one of the better outings that year, because it's actually invested in the Britta/Troy relationship in a way that feels true to Troy and Abed, plus I find the B story with the Dean pretending to be Jeff to the point that Annie is confused and turned on every time they interact is really really funny (and shows off Rash's skill for mimicry)

Yeah that’s one of the good ones. Also the Halloween one and Herstory of Dance. Honestly the puppet one and the finale are the only real tragedies. e: and Inspector Spacetime convention. god season 4 really did Annie dirty

Hahahaha are the Russo brothers parodying their own work with that Dean elevator scene or had they left the show by that point?

That episode was directed by Rob Schrab but knowing the Russos' history on the show there's no way it wasn't meant as a loving reference to them specifically. The last episode either Russo worked on was Advanced Advanced Dungeons & Dragons from Season 5, which Joe directed.

Only Simpsons and Community could work for videos like these. edit: And I don't think they touch the Law and Order or Fincher episodes at all in this video? GoutPatrol fucked around with this message at 01:13 on May 31, 2021 |

Those are much more style parodies. Like the L&O episode is spectacularly dead on in nailing how the mothership was shot and structured, but it wasn't like parodying any specific episode or shot.

John F Bennett posted:Netflix and Hulu will delete the episode 'Advanced Dungeons and Dragons' because of blackface (Ken Jeong's dark elf) so go watch it asap if it's not too late. A very good episode. Too bad. That's a top five episode, imo.
