I was thinking about this, and I don’t think there’s any reason they couldn’t meet up later.

First of all, I loved this episode and thought it was the best of the season so far.

Second, is anyone else getting really bothered by Bill Hader’s blatant cue-card reading? Bill Hader is great, but he seems to deliver the first 80% of each line staring in a totally unnatural direction (i.e. toward the cue card) in a monotone (at least when he isn’t doing a spot-on impression.) I’m not sure if it’s gotten worse this season or if I just didn’t notice it before.

Actually, some of us are still in a non-grinding state until next week. It’s nice being either a teacher or a Gwyneth Paltrow.

I thought Community was very good. It was definitely weird to have two consecutive episodes with such similar gimmicks, but a) apparently the timeline one was supposed to be earlier in the season and b) I actually thought last night’s worked better. The stories flowed into each other more naturally and it was easier to justify their differences since they came from different characters’ perspectives. Which left more time for LAFFS (as opposed to repeating lines seven times over, which wasn’t not funny, don’t get me wrong)
