This ep wasn't one of my favs, but I liked the focus being on characters like Britta and Shirley, who seem to not get the spotlight as much lately.

And yay for you winning the script! That's awesome!

I liked a lot of the gags (and Jeff's arms), but I feel like it needed a bit more heart?
I'm really happy we got to see more of Britta and Shirley tho!! I missed them so much :(

[___greenribbon]

Yeah, I think when it comes to Chang things get a bit overly silly and so the heart of the show kind of gets lost a bit. It's like we need more balance.

[engelen]

THIS.

Thank you for pointing that out :D

(I get excited when I figure out/understand why I don't ADORE something...)

1) You know you've made it in showbiz when your body parts get their own showcase #Jeffsarms

2) I want more Jeff/Shirley. That's an amazing interaction that doesn't get explored enough :(

3) On that respect, I miss Jeff and Britta hanging out and being terrible people :( (I've been rewatching season 1 with my mom...). I loved exploring Britta and her relationship with Abed and Troy tho :D

4) YAY FOR DONATING MONEY TO FIGHT LEUKEMIA!!! :D

LOL. But I did enjoy the glimpse of Terrible Jeff and Shirley (!) in this episode. They were so delightfully amoral talking up putting Chang away for 20 years.

Jeff brings the worst out from everyone <3

Jeff brings the worst out from everyone
HAHA yeah, he really does.

I really enjoyed the hell out of this ep -- it's always fun to see a different dynamic in the group, in this case Abed/Troy/Britta. And ENVER GJOKAJ! Hilarious. Plus the scene of them making up was nice; I do feel like the show and other characters have been mocking Britta pretty hard lately.

Andre is growing on me, I have to say. I haven't been happy about the Shirley/Chang pregnancy twist but I liked the direction of it in this ep.

Is it sad I knew those weren't Shirley's kids from the Family Day episode right away? And I was glad they didn't just recast them?

I was too distracted by Jeff's weird hair to notice his arms. :-/ And those nipple guards, oh my god.

Edit: I wasn't crazy about the tag -- I get the idea of it but it didn't have any real payoff. But I did love the ensemble together at the Racially Conscious Baby Shower at the beginning.

[airie_fairy]

The tag was a worthy and funny commentary, but it doesn't work with this group, because we've seen them for two seasons now, and they talk to each other plenty.

[fangirl_101]

I knew immediately too that those weren't the original actors for Shirley's kids. And then I was like "Noooo! Why did the recast? Those two boys were so adorable." But then I LOLed at the reveal that it wasn't her kids. And at the fact that Jeff didn't notice either.

[millionthings]

This ep was hit and miss for me... I'm still not a fan of the baby storyline... or Jeff's hair.

I loved the Troy/Abed/Britta interaction.

Also... "Who am I kidding? I should be putting this right on my thighs!!"

Question: Why was Pierce using a calculator in the tag? LOL I remember he used to have a small laptop with him in the beginning of season 1. Where did that go? xD

[___greenribbon]

Yeah, I would think Pierce should have a bunch of high-tech gadgets that he just doesn't know how to use.

[fangirl_101]

Unless I didn't get it at all, I thought it was a commentary on age and technology. As in "He's so old, he still uses those giant-ass calculators." At least it's a device he can actually use properly, unlike when he's punching random buttons and yelling at his phone (although hilarious)

[aint2proud2beg]

Haha yeah that was the joke. Even with a calculator he was still pressing the buttons at random. It's like, Pierce is so old he doesn't even know how to use a calculator either. LOL
