I have finally caught up on Community, and it did not disappoint. I think that what I'll refer to as the "blanket fort" episode was intended to be referred to as the "conspiracy theory" episode -- but for me, Abed and Troy will always steal the show. Annie did provide a good Bond girl/sidekick to Jeff, and the gun-pulling at the end was really funny. I'm glad, though, that their romantic plot wasn't significantly advanced, because she's only 19, and that's gross.
Troy's birthday episode was so great. The jokes around his 'expulsion', the relatability of the challenge of picking an acceptable bar for a group, and the added layer to Shirley's character were all very effective and very entertaining. The bottle episode was also great. The puppy parade concept was hilarious, and I, unlike Abed, love bottle episodes for the exact reasons that he hates them. There were no major love developments, but the possibility that Shirley is pregnant is crazy!
And finally, the claymation episode. It truly lived up to my expectations for it, which is high praise! The 'short, sad Christmas song' was incredible, as were Abed's claymation interpretations of the group. Even though the core of the episode was really sad, it was wildly entertaining, particularly John Oliver's character. I think I'll need to watch it again to truly appreciate it, and to catch anything that I may have missed.
Can't wait to see what the rest of the season has in store!
