Best episode ever. I loved all the moments in all the timelines. Jeff/Annie chemistry overload (hot or what?), genuine connection between Troy/Britta (liking it so far), some great lines for Shirley, Troy/Abed bromance. Troy & the evil troll. Every character got a chance to shine. It was fantastic. Can't wait to rewatch later.

@maddie/Salta
i did realize she was high, it was obvious from the get-go and she said it. but ive been high a few times. [well a few more than a few but lets just keep that between You Me and Mr. McGee.] and ive never seen/done anything like that dance.
The bit with eating the pie was classic and totally britta being high...the stupid little dance not so much.
Also given all the weird songs/dances britt'a been doing lately; the weird dance a few eps back, the "hit me with your genies bottle," the "britta for the win," the "b!tch-free zone," ...etc. i def. think the little song/dance was more britta being britta then britta being high
either way i still think they need to tone down britta's character
and @Salta Yea i kinda figured that was the production order but i still dont know i feel about a call-back with something that just happened, wait a few episodes before you drop the call-back. but thats just my preference.

this was definitely up there with the classic Community episodes - so glad to see they haven't lost their touch. it just goes to show that all they need is the original group, and maybe an occasional appearance from the dean and chang - but lose all the extranneous guest stars. this episode did venture a bit into the over-analytical thing towards the end, which i am not liking, but otherwise it was absolutely hysterical. loved it!

Wow. Super clever and funny, even by Community's already high standards. And like Piecar said, even more impressive considering it was just another "bottle episode." Seriously, what other show could pull that off!?
That said, did anyone else feel like they could have shaved a few seconds off the start of the alternate timelines? Even groundshog day felt a little tighter as each day reset...
Though I apologize, it's certainly tough to criticize anything about that episode. Like the 38 people before me: 5/5.

*the Eartha Kitt reference.
This episode is up there.

@george well, about britta's dance, maddie has already answered. About the Eartha Kitt, this week's episode was actually shot before "Competitive Ecology" but they decided to air "Competitive Ecology" first.

also we all know troy is a better leader of the group than jeff from last seasons bar episode when they all got drunk. i also think this ep shows jeff is the rotten apple out of the bunch. i hope annie moves in with troy and abed. that could be a better show than new girl.

love the way community has been paying homage to fringe and lost with the parallel universes and now the alternate timelines. this was a very smart episode and troy eating the popeye cig was classic. did jeff really hit his head that many times? ouch.

@george she was high. that's why she was dancing like that. and britta getting high is totally within her character. as annie says- britta, by your name it's obvious you're parents smoke pot

This was by far the ep of season 3 and imho top 5 for the series
for me it started off a little slow. I wasnt really feeling the first couple timelines. I thought they felt slightly choppy and rushed and while watching it, i was even thinking that i might have enjoyed it better had they only done like 3 or 4 more detailed timelines. but as soon as we hit troys timeline [by far my favorite one] i just loved every minute of it and never looked back
my only real qualm [and it is small] i hated that stupid little pizza dance britta did in the first few timelines, what is she five years old. idk why it annoyed me so much but it did. I really hope they tone down and correct her "caricature-ness" soon b/c it is really starting to rub me the wrong way
another smaller nit-picky thing i did wonder about was why they brought up the Eartha Kitt again, pierce already mentioned he told the group about Eartha Kitt last week [the scene where they were trying to convince the prof. to let them pa

Now, that's the stuff. A case of Popeye Cigarettes....me likey. Abed's smile at the door. It was a "bottle Episode" neatly disguised.
What are we saying here, though? Jeff holds them back from the enjoyment of their lives? Without his "too cool" guidance, they'd be happy and fulfilled?
This is the kind of ep that works best on this show....One where every character gets a piece. Everybody gets to put one in the win column.
A good creative ep.

4.5?!? Clearly you don't understand anything about defeating trolls.

That was such a great episode, definitely an instant classic.

loved this ep so much! i was in actual pain from laughing when pierce got shot. one complaint - wish they'd stop ruining jeff/annie moments by comparing him to her father. at first it made total sense but now its like we get it! he's old! lol still the best ep of s3 though :)

Best episode of the season so far. The use of separate timelines was inspired and allowed for hilarious results without long term consequences and the fake evil beards? classic Abed.

Love this show! I enjoyed this episode. It showed quite a bit of the bromance that Troy and Abed share. I also liked that Annie and Jeff made out. Can't wait for those two to get together.
