Every Thursday is now like a holiday! I was so much looking forward for this episode since I read about it...Britta as Michael Jackson is made of win.

I am sure everyone will look amazing, specially Jeff! ;)

Edited to add: I liked Jim Rash scenes the most, Jeff/Shirley kiss because she wanted it, and Britta's Michael Jackson impersonation. I wanted to hug Troy and Abed because they made me want to.

Other than that, they kinda look out of characters and too cartooney. The cast is amazing, and I thought this episode would had been better because of the impersonations of famous people, and like someone wrote on a comment below, it fell flat. Btw, can Annie had been dressed as Scarlett O'Hara from Gone With The Wind rather than the childlike Dorothy from Wizard Of Oz?

Some very funny stuff, however, the Troy/Abed story made me so sad, that at the end I was left with sadness. I just wanted to hug them.

So, it has it's funny moments, if just fell flat. Looking forward to next Thursdays, my favorite day of the week, thanks to Community

I think I had thoughts on the rest of this episode, but I have forgotten because that last Troy/Abed scene was so beautiful and heartbreaking.

THIS. OMG crying (along with the rest of the fandom). :'(

I know! I was so surprised they went that sad and dramatic. AND EVIL!ABED!! So sad, but it was so well done!!!

It was intense! I'm totally ready to explore it further. The way Troy was all curled up in a ball in their room, like a kid....

My heart goes out to both of them.

Other than that last Troy/Abed scene, I was really, really disappointed with this episode. It coupled two of my least favorite sitcom tropes: the "STOP TAKING THOSE DEMON MEDS BECAUSE DOCTORS ARE DUMB" trope with the "DON'T TELL ANYONE ABOUT ANYTHING IMPORTANT THAT THEY MIGHT NEED TO KNOW [I.E. THAT THEY NEED TO PERFORM IMPECCABLY OR ABED'S LEGS WILL GET BROKEN]" trope. Pluuuus the return of really unfunny Chang. Cringe.

Sorry, one more edit! I also wanted to add that I was so, so excited about this episode because of the impressions and it just fell flat to me.

Yeah, this show is cartoony, but the fact that Jeff could take anti-anxiety pills and YOIP! His anxiety is vaporised! was too much for me.

automaticdoor March 23 2012, 01:20:04 UTC

IF ONLY anxiety worked that way! My life would be super awesome. Except... apple ego problems?

So they made the right decision in switching the episodes, because last week's would have made no sense after this week's.

The Troy/Abed ending was just...jeez. Depressing. But so well done. It's almost like they're growing apart, which, god no please don't let that happen.

I liked the episode. But I have a feeling I'm going to like every episode after that hiatus.
