I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Ha, that was first episode was like Community: Ready Player One Edition ! I can't believe they did that. How do they get away with shit like that? THIS SHOW.

Also, they really didn't think they were going to be renewed, did they? That finale was very wrap-up-y. STARBURNS IS ALIVE!

of course he is! I was like: this is quite a conspiracy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I was hurt to see them taking apart the Dreamatorium, but relieved that Abed still has somewhere to go. But how will Troy fit in?

Dismantling the Dreamatorium troubles me. Something to be addressed next season?

I guess Death Faking for Dummies didn't have a chapter on shaving your distinctive facial hair.

Well, it looks like the mini-Dreamatorium is fully functional.

So that was Britta moving in, or was she just helping them carry stuff?

Also, my recording cut off Leonard's review of the chips--I see as far as the guy in the dreads coming into the shot and leaving it.

Tim wondered the same thing! I wasn't sure if Abed and Troy were moving their bunk bed into the old Dreamatorium and going to dismantle the blanket fort, or just Troy moving into the old Dreamatorium, but Tim thought Britta was moving in.

Yes, that's reassuring, but still.

The chips were a buy. I think that's all there was to that.

It could have been Britta moving in, but I think she was just helping to carry Troy's stuff, since he had moved into the A/C Repair Housing. I'm not sure, exactly how things ended up in the apartment. It's another thing to pay close attention to on rewatch...

And one chip was shaped like a duck.

Okay, looks like I got most of the good stuff. Rock on, Leonard.

I'm trying to work out if what I said about the darkest timeline coming back is actually satisfied by the finale. Probably only technically. Still, good enough! Abed's imagination is too real.

I remember getting into a debate with someone who said the show was devolving into a lesson every week, and I can't quite remember it not having a lesson every week, pretty much. From the very start, it's usually Jeff getting a little nudge away from shallowness (just a little), but I feel that's been consistent enough to be a hallmark of the show.

And I do like that it's not a huge reset button, and that the characters have changed over the three seasons, not just their circumstances (which do change more than I'm used to from a sitcom anyway).
