This week felt like the show's first cruise control episode. It was good, but getting to know Senor Chang meant that none of the hot-button issues, like Troy and Annie or Jeff and Britta were dealt with. The Jeff and Annie flirtation from last week may have been just a one off. And Britta has YET to be shown meeting Professor Duncan for therapy as punishment for cheating in Spanish. I wonder when or if they'll get to that?
That said, I thought the editing at the end of the three main storylines intercutting was pretty awesome. And I like that Pierce is finally gaining respect in the group, first from Britta last week and now from Shirley, instead of being ostracized for being old, creepy, and insane.
I also must agree:
@danharmon Have to agree RT @agramsci #Community highlight was @AlisonBrie as the choo choo! @yvettenbrown @kenjeong were both great too

It feels really forced to the point of insanity. Everybody doesn't need to have a storyline every single week. I mean, I guess they did that with Britta to a degree this week, but it should continue.
Point is, if there is a second season, there will need to be more characters introduced, because the burnout factor is high.

| #4 Posted on 2.12.09 2256.51 | Instant Rating: 10.00 | Finally got around to checking out this show last weekend and have caught up. Better than I was expecting, felt like the last few episodes were really good. Like the main characters, maybe because they're often not as one note as they seem. (Could stand to have a lot less Dr. Ken though.)
The scenes around the song in this episode felt like like inexplicably funnier than it should've been - they were 3 different brands of sappy, but worked as good as anything. There's something here (though maybe the debate scene was probably the best.)
Point is, if there is a second season, there will need to be more characters introduced, because the burnout factor is high.
It wouldn't be that hard to change out some characters - the study group would seem to break up after the class is over, and they'd all have new teachers. This is a TV show so it won't happen and you're probably right, but until then...
