I still say they need to get the budget to hire Kurt Russell for one episode and have him and Elroy re-enact the last 2 minutes of The Thing, but inside Greendale.

If Keith David is re-enacting anything, it's gonna be the They Live fight scene.

I doubt any reference to that fight will top Saints Row 4 for me, but I'd still like for Community to try nonetheless.

Diedrich Bader is much more of a recognizable actor than Kevin Conroy, who aside from bit parts is best known for Batman.

I've been pretty hard on this season but that was a fantastic episode. Elroy's stuff was amazing. He wouldn't have fit in to the earlier seasons but I'm drat glad he was here for this one.

Weird request, but can someone post a direct link to the episode? Yahoo has "Espionage", then a preview for episode 13, but episode 12 isn't in the list for some god damned reason.

Surprised by all the positive buzz. There were definitely some laughs in there (the line about Abed smelling hair to differentiate brunettes) and the best use of Annie we've seen all season, but man, it exemplifies a lot of what is wrong with the show too.

First, ANOTHER documentary style episode? Remember when they first did this and it was fresh and out of the box an amazing parody of most sitcoms and kind of a gently caress you to them for using a template...Now this is what? The fifth time they've gone to this well? Plus we've got more of the group being unlikeable dickheads to other people and LOTS OF SHOUTING BECAUSE YELLING IS HUMOUR, RIGHT?!

I also can't tell if Jeff's actual alcoholism throughout the season is ever going to be addressed or if it's somehow meant to be funny? I mean they did include that bit where Frankie (who really has had the strongest characterisation of the group) acknowledged that he is basically toxic to Annie.

The main plot had a slightly better arc than most of the aimless eps they've done this year but I think it would have landed better with me if they had given Garret a little heart, fleshed him out as an actual person, something other than an existence as a cartoonish punchline.

I thought it was the best episode in a long time. Between this week and last week I feel pretty good about sticking through some of the episodes I still think were terrible in the preceding weeks. That said, I'm still rooting for this to be the final season whether there's a movie or not.

Agreed, also they get married by Todd? All these people have been in the same "school" for 6 years and ugh. This place is a cult. No wait, it's the world's laziest writers.



Besides that it was enjoyable. Just getting tired of checklist seasons ("mockumentary," check. "paintball," check. "good original episode"... "good original episode," where's the "good original episode?" *entire writing staff and Harmon all shrug in comically exaggerated fashion*)

edit: I can't seem to remove an attachment from post. It's only 2015 after all

edit 2: I invite others to actually debate the merits of the episode based on the criticisms raised, rather than deflect like petulant children. ARE YOU BAD ENOUGH DUDES TO ACCEPT THIS CHALLENGE
