A collection of all of my rants and ramblings about the television shows I watch and the people who make them. There will also be the occasional post about my life. =D

Community Rewatch- 3x07, 3x08, & 3x09


Hello again!! I am on fire, guys!! Look at me go! I've already blazed through six episodes and I'm on to three more! My goal of finishing the whole third season by Wednesday is definitely looking more and more promising! Okay, onward!


3x07- Studies in Modern Movement

Episode Rundown- In this episode, Annie prepares to move out of her shithole apartment and into the apartment Troy and Abed share. She asks the study group to help her move and like the good friends they are, they agree. Except for Jeff, who instead pretends to be direly ill in the hospital- but really goes to the mall. Annie realizes that living with Troy and Abed may be more difficult than she was expecting, considering she'd be the only "adult." Pierce offers to repaint her old apartment and gets high off the paint fumes. Shirley and Britta argue over something and pick up a hitchhiker who sings about Jesus loving marijuana and "drinking human blood." Creepy. And Jeff gets blackmailed into spending his entire mall day with the Dean. All in all, the episode is absolutely hilarious. And the tag involves the "Greendale Parents," Jeff and Britta, sitting through a puppet show their "kids," Annie, Troy, and Abed, put on. Equally hilarious.

What Was Great
~ Definitely everything. I loved every storyline and thought all of the characters were spot on.

What Wasn't So Great
~ Nothing! There wasn't even an appearance by Chang to make this episode even a little unfavorable!

Rating
Ten out of ten, human beings!

   
3x08- Documentary Filmmaking Redux

Episode Rundown- This episode is also freaking spectacular. Its structure mirrors last season's hospital episode in that its a mockumentary, where Abed is narrating and cuts to the group members explaining things to the camera. Also known as, Lazy Community. =P Anyway, Dean Pelton decides to make a commercial for Greendale since the previous one's so outdated. And thus, he descends into a world of chaos. Jeff gets the role of the Dean in the commercial and wears a bald cap and glasses to make himself look the part. It is, as you might expect, hysterical. Britta and Troy just can't seem to get their onscreen hug right, Pierce wants a trailer, and Shirley is too "Miss Piggy" for TV (Best line? "The word he's looking for is 'sassy.' He better pray he don't find it."). Also, Pierce wants a bigger trailer and gets hauled to L.A. Meanwhile, the Dean burns his degrees and bathes in the ashes and everything is so hilarious. Oh, and Luis Guzman makes an appearance. The tag is Pierce appearing in L.A. and thinking he's still in Colorado. Awkward...

What Was Great
~ Everything. I love these mockumentary episodes and absolutely everyone was hilarious.

What Wasn't So Great
~ Nothing. I mean the tag wasn't spectacular, but it's not a reason not to love the episode.

Another ten out of ten for Community, ladies and gents!


3x09- Foosball and Nocturnal Vigilantism

Episode Rundown- This episode is so lovely. I love Jeff and Shirley's friendship and I absolutely love the adventures had by Troy/Annie/Abed. Jeff gets taunted by foosball-playing Germans and vows to get them back in a battle of talents. Shirley's foosball-playing skills are revealed and she coaches Jeff on how to improve his playing techniques. Then, it is also revealed that the person who beat Jeff at foosball so badly as a kid was none other than Shirley herself. Luckily, they're able to overcome their differences and beat the shit out of those Germans. Meanwhile, Abed buys a special edition Batman DVD which Annie steps on and breaks while she's dusting the TV and she and Troy create this elaborate "we were robbed!" storyline so Abed doesn't find out. Eventually he becomes Batman to try and solve the mystery but Annie feels so guilty she tells him the truth. Hilarious. The tag is Leonard reviewing Eugenio's four-cheese pizza on his YouTube account. I love that guy...

What Was Great
~ This may be getting old, but everything. Seriously, this episode is so, so good.

What Wasn't So Great
~ Nothing! Loved every second!

Rating
Another ten out of ten!!

More asap!
