Reviewing Season One: 113 - Investigative Journalism
I spaced again, sorry. I suck. Most questions are from under_crisis because I had to fastforward through the Jack Black parts in order to avoid stroking from annoyance. :p I focused on the MASH bits, because classic show is classic. :D

113 - Investigative Journalism
Community from a personal perspective:
- Have you ever experienced having "membership issues" with a group, either as "Buddy" or as one of the study group? How do you compare your experience with what went down in this episode?
- Do you have close friends who lived in Finland or its neighboring countries? Are they at all similar to the study group's description of Gary?
- Are/were you active in your school newspaper?
- Why do you think the study group (except Abed; but then Abed is a god) never noticed Buddy? (Of course, apart from the obvious reason that this was a guest character.)
- What about Buddy exactly is off-putting to the study group, and the audience in general? Do you see any similarities between Buddy and Jeff from the pilot? What makes one a more palatable character than the other?
- Is Jeff like Hawkeye? Does he resemble any other classic TV characters? What do you think made him want to change his attitude over the winter break?
- What do you think Britta did in Amsterdam over the break (if that is where she was)?
- Do you think the study group has become too exclusive? Would inclusion of new members be beneficial, or would it upset the balance? Should they even think up member policies?
- Which has a bigger influence on Buddy's impact on the audience: the Jack Black factor or the writer's characterization?
- Would you like to see the newspaper resurface in season 2, or was it good as just a one-episode thing?
- What are your favorite scenes/lines from this episode?
- The Dean says he's "resurrecting" the newspaper - what do you think happened to make it go down in the first place?
- How on earth did Greendale get Toni Braxton? Was it really her or just someone called Tony Brackston?
- Who else do you think could be in the Owen Wilson study group? Do you think we'll see them again (and do you want to)?
