Hi there! So you know what would be great? My new goal is to finish the season three rewatch before I go on vacation on Wednesday. Game, set, match. Challenge accepted. Yeah, we can do this. Anyway, onward friends!
3x04- Remedial Chaos Theory
Episode Rundown- This is arguably the best episode not only of the entire season but of the entire show's history. Abed and Troy are throwing themselves a housewarming party and, as usual, things go awry. But they go awry in the most amazing way- in multiple timelines. They set up a game of Yahtzee and order a pizza and when the pizza comes, no one wants to go down and get. So Jeff picks up the die and says, "Starting on left with one, your number comes up, you go." Abed replies, "Just so you know, Jeff, you are now creating six different timelines." And we get to see each different time he creates and how each situation is different depending on who goes down to get the pizza. It's absolute creative genius and so, so hilarious. Then the tag happens to be just as hilarious, showcasing the darkest timeline which includes a dead Pierce, a locked up Annie, a drunken Shirley, a one-armed Jeff, a blue-streak haired Britta, a mechanical-voiced Troy, and Abed who blames himself for all of it. Absolutely hilarious.
What Was Great
~ The entire episode, all seven characters, and everything in between. It's pure perfection.
What Wasn't So Great
~ Nothing. Seriously, nothing.
Rating
A very well-earned ten out of ten. =D
3x05- Horror Fiction in Seven Spooky Steps
Episode Rundown- Halloween part three! In this episode, Britta throws a Halloween pre-party in which she wants to question the group after finding out that one of the members in the study group has homicidal tendencies. At least, that's what the results of her psych evaluation say and though Jeff thinks it's pointless, he goes along with it. Britta begins and tells a "scary story" just to get reactions from the rest of the group. Abed goes after her and introduces "Daybreak" by Michael Haggins, a fantastic addition to Community. Annie then tells a vampire story, Troy tells a story of his and Abed's crazy adventures, Pierce's story gets weird, and Shirley's is, of course, biblical. Suddenly, and for some reason, they all turn on each other until Jeff tells some heartwarming tale about hot chocolate and log cabins. Then it's revealed that Britta entered the tests into the machine the wrong way, so when she reenters them, it turns out that all of them are crazy, except for one. They walk away from the table, deciding not to find out who's the only sane one, but we do. The camera pans back to the tests and says, "Happy Halloween from Annie, Jeff, Britta, Troy, Shirley, Pierce... and Abed." Aw!! Oh, and the tag happens to be Abed and Troy as fighter pilots having ESP.
What Was Great
~ The Beetlejuice Easter egg. So, so perfect.
~ "Trick or Dean!" Dean Pelton, my love for you knows no bounds.
~ The concept of "Britta'ing" things. I still use that term.
~ Britta's story; "I think I just heard something!" "It's just the sound of my heart, baby." "Oh."
~ Abed's story. "Daybreak" never gets old!
~ Annie's story was probably my favorite. I don't know why, but it was just great.
~ Shirley's story was so, so funny.
~ Jeff's story! All peace and love and so not Jeff Winger.
~ The girls in Pierce's story. So funny.
~ Everyone freaking out and thinking one of them was the maniac. Annie's reaction was the best- "Stay back, you psychos, or I'll slit your throats and bathe in your blood!"
~ Abed being the only sane one!!
What Wasn't So Great
~ Pierce's story was so weird...
~ Troy's story was lame.
~ The tag.
Rating
I would give this episode a nine out of ten. It was a great episode!!
3x06- Advanced Gay
Episode Rundown- This episode featured the appearance of Pierce's father, who I personally thought was dead, but after this episode, he is. We learn that Hawthorne Wipes are really big with the gay community and to celebrate this, Pierce decides to throw a gay party with everything rainbow colored. Jeff, who's having some father issues, doesn't really benefit from this random man telling Pierce what he can and can't do and Britta wants to exercise her new psychologist powers and tries to coax some answers and admittances out of him. He refuses her. Anyway, Cornelius Hawthorne tells Pierce to stop with the gay thing and Jeff tells him off. Then Hawthorne Sr. dies. Oops. The groups attends the funeral and Jeff tells Britta she was right about the whole Oedipal Complex thing and that he thinks she'll be a good therapist. Woo! The tag involves Troy and Abed acting out Inspector Spacetime. It's meh...
What Was Great
~ "Pocketful of Hawthornes." So good.
~ "That's not what I meant! Stop putting gay things in my mouth!"
~ "Yes, I'm always nice to the gays! They may live in defiance of God but I'd die before I let a woman touch my hair." Shirley, so priceless.
~ Britta and the "Edible" complex. So funny.
~ "Why is there an astronaut in the corner making paninis?"
~ "Aw! The party's canceled? I bought a coned-bra..." You would, Annie lol.
~ "Britta, you're going to make a terrible therapist. And if you need to talk to someone about that, I don't recommend you." "Hmm, is that how your dad talked to your mom?" "No, that's how he talked to your mom!" "And how does that make you feel?" "Shut up!!"
~ "You know what, Britta was right! You resent my father because you have problems with your own!" "I'm sorry. After you said 'Britta was right' everything else just sounded like a foghorn."
~ "I can't tell where the air ends and my skin begins!"
~ Abed and Troy pretending to be one another. Genius.
What Wasn't So Great
~ Pierce's father. Blegh.
~ The tag was meh.
