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.)
