Re: Community
Thanks, man. Great article that illustrates why I said this episode was arguably the best of the series thus far.
The fact that each scenario could have played out due to a simple die roll fascinated me. It gave us, the viewer, the distinct advantage of seeing different sides of each character that they have not yet revealed to one another in the "real timeline". This episode gave each individual character, multiple pairings, and the group dynamic as a whole much more depth.
Regardless of what actually happened, the motivation for those other scenarios lies within each character from Pierce resenting Troy and Abed, Jeff feeling threatened by Troy, Shirley feeling outcasted, Troy and Britta having budding feelings for one another and sharing a mutual annoyance with Jeff, and yes, even Troy and Abed becoming evil. The show highlighted the true fragility of the group.
As for the article, I loved the breakdown of the picture. That was a cool little thing I never noticed. I know people are high on Modern Family's writers, and I love the show too, but if I could only choose one, I'd pick Community every time.
