Reviewing Season Three: 3.19 - Curriculum Unavailable
This is the last of our Inspector Spacetime episodes, although in all honesty this is more about Abed, the Study Group, the Dean and the shared psychosis that is Greendale Community College. This is also the series' second fake clip show, and is every bit as awesome as that classic Paradigms episode (I do miss Gravity, though).

On Inspector Spacetime:

Character study:
- What was the purpose of sending Abed to Dr. Heidi? If anyone besides Abed had been snooping around, would Fake Dean have done the same thing?
- Did the episode reveal anything new about the characters? Would you say that the memories pulled up in this episode reflects the extent of influence Greendale had in their lives?
- Which was your favorite memory?
- When you first saw the episode, did you believe for a moment the Greendale Asylum story? WhIch reenactment did you like best?
Other questions:
