MY EMOTIONS

[giddolo]

I'm not crying, I just have a perfect Community episode in my eye

[aikakone]

I thought it was a fantastic episode. My favorite bits are:

Magnitude admitting he's British (or the actor is, at least!)

The "Sail Away" cover by Aimee Mann, which is so meta. I forgot the comment from Troy in an earlier episode that the song made him cry, and Aimee will always remind me of the song from Magnolia.

Britta's "victory" or at least defeating Jeff. I really liked her through the whole episode and how dissonant she was with everything else. It worked. Oh, and she had good hair when she went full on Lava.

What episode did Troy mention the song got to him? I consider myself an expert on all things Community, so it is making me crazy that this escapes me! :)

I think it was the beginning of Debate 109: "Why am I crying, did I accidentally listen to Come Sail Awaay by Styx again?"

Had to double check, but it was a throw away line back in season 1's debate episode.

I teared up when Abed came clean about what was going on, before he was "cloned." The whole thing is really sad and I'm still sad for him. I hope Donald comes back at some point in the series, even if he's got his new show.

But Britta rocked it.

THE FLOOR, BITCH!

Also, I giggled at the name of the boat.

An absolutely perfect episode. Got me crying a lot. And the game was brilliant, with so many great lines.

Britta was amazing, I loved how they finally wrote her right, not the clown of the group. She was awesome.

And now just thinking of Abed makes me want to cry again.
