I'm assuming there will be more in a later episode. But we shall see.
ETA: I"m a little disappointed that they killed Pierce off at all. Just having him banned from campus and not impacting the story really worked for me. But maybe they will take it somewhere good, who knows?
Pierce in the darkest timeline faked his own death, so this Pierce might not really be gone. It definitely felt anticlimactic in a way that makes me assume there will be more.
I agree with pretty much every word that Frank has already posted, so just pointing & saying "yes, that."
And I'm not usually the one who can't "take a joke" in the room, but I not only didn't find the coin thing funny, I found it actively disturbing - like to the point of debating myself whether it constituted sexual assault.
I felt they were definitely portraying it in that way a little, Epic, especially in Troy's reaction. So it did make me a little uncomfortable how they played it for laughs, but it was also so absurd that it worked enough for me. Like a lot of concept episodes, I loved how much it committed to its premise; the scene where Annie discovers it's Duncan was great.
Okay, I'll admit to loving Troy (and Abed, of course) reactions. Abed just keeps piling on blankets and has a whole table full of cups to ply him with. But that's because Troy & Abed make everything better.
I think it's funny, but I've probably watched more cheesy thrillers than anyone here.
Glancing through Entertainment Weekly, there's a reference to a planned "homage to David Fincher psychological thrillers". Maybe this was that?
That makes sense. After I said "a little Se7en, a little Zodiac" I realized they were both Fincher. And I love me some David Fincher, so.
I spent so much of the time trying to nail down just what they were riffing on that it distracted me from actually enjoying the episode.
Yeah, I was similarly distracted for a few minutes but I just figured there are some references I'm not gonna get because sometimes I live under a rock.
The Mindy Project is kinda hitting my allergies.
We are just catching up with last season's Community and it's SO BAD.
It's a gas-leak year.
(I really didn't think it was that bad. I liked it.)
