I gave up on Lost ~Season 3, so does someone want to explain the loophole joke to me and why it was related to lost?

BLACK TEXT = LOST SPOILERS FROM S5. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED.

Spoiler

Basically there are 2 brothers on the island that've lived there for a very long time. One (referred to as the Man in Black) wanted to kill the other (referred to as Jacob) so he could escape the island. This would allow the Man in Black to leave, but he couldn't harm Jacob directly (Jacob and Man in Black can't kill each other by their own hands). He had to find some loophole in the 'rules' to do so. This entailed having someone else do it for him, so he tricked Ben Linus into killing Jacob.

 

[SonicX_Zero]

I think it's the right time to bring back this old favorite. Winger, you dog.

That was an awesome episode.:lol

 

[Mystic Theurge]

Really? I actually thought it was a very good episode. The only weak part imo is the whole Jeff and Annie thing which kinda came out of nowhere for me. Damn I can't believe we have to wait until fucking September for more community!

That was the only weak part to you? What about Britta and Slater being turned into caricatures?

 

[close to the edge]

I love when Shirly says her friend Gary is transferring. Annie's face spasm coupled with Troy's "I hope he transfers to hell" makes me laugh so hard.

Ah, was that this guy from Finland they referred to in.. I think it was the Jack Black episode? "He grew up in a land without sun!" :lol

 

[WillyFive]

That made not sense at all.

Because you haven't seen the show.

You shouldn't have gave up during Season 3, because that's when things go full speed and never stop.

 

[Entropia]

Did anyone else notice Abed giving the dean a funny look when he said that Pierce wrote that song all on his own? :lol

 

[Alucrid]

What state is Greendale set in? Also, fucking Team Britta in an episode. :lol :lol :lol

Edit: oh what the fuck love now Annie is involved too. :lol

 

[snesfreak]

What state is Greendale set in?

Colorado I believe.

 

[BamYouHaveAids]

Best first season, not best season. Not all shows start out amazing.

Fortunately the Holy Trinity of modern comedies did! It was a decent firsts season but I don't think it does anything in particular to stand out and I have no desire to re-watch any of the episodes.

 

[SonicX_Zero]

Does anyone know the name of the character that goes "Yeah Team Britta!"?

 

[AnkitT]

Not a good episode overall, but it was funny. :lol'd at the Pierce song bit.

 

[cubanb]

I'll take this. Thanks

 

[Mifune]

I dug the Lost bit and Troy's giant cookie, but damn, this was one of the worst episodes of the season.

 

[TimScribble]

I dug the Lost bit and Troy's giant cookie, but damn, this was one of the worst episodes of the season.

I dont get why people are saying this? Is it because of the ending? Jeff and Annie were both running and just happened to run into each other's arms in an weak emotional moment.

Plus, it's a hook for next season. A twist at the end. It's probably a means to get everything back to normal anyways.

 

[BJK]

I was just telling a co-worker about how Community doesn't really have a serial nature, and that you can pretty much jump in at any point and get the characters.

...then I watched the finale. :lol

Jeff's smashed-up Lexus
[EDIT: I can't believe I left out Prof. Whitman!]
Annie & Vaughn
Pierce & Troy talking about the character dynamic from the pilot
Sr. Chang's appeal to Prof. Duncan (paralelling Jeff in the pilot)
Prof. Slater / Team Britta
Pierce's school theme
The Dean's dalmation / furry fettish
Team Annie triumphant!


Fortunately for me, the person I told that to was thinking about watching reruns.

Having Troy's novelty-sized C-plot cookie into his B-plot with Abed was masterfully done (particularly since it let Don Glover slowly demolish the giant cookie over the course of the episode).
The idea that a Community College would celebrate its students going to better schools, rather than graduation, was a nice touch even before it became the 'Tranny ball.' Was Britta's on-mic confession supposed to be a callback to an 80s movie I haven't seen? (My knowledge of the Brat pack is admittedly lacking....which doesn't really matter outside the context of this show.)
I'm secretly hoping that the show will make mention to Troy's "living" with Pierce during the season 2 premiere.
I missed what Chang was holding when he found his loophole; was it a wine cork?

 

[Tamanon]

I thought it was just a roll of quarters.

He said it was a roll of quarters.

 

[Insaniac]

okay episode but the end with annie and jeff, they just had to do that didn't they? :\

(I've been looking for an excuse to do my first avatar quote for awhile now.)

Thanks for the explanation on the roll of quarters; I knew he said what it was, but I couldn't hear over the laughing....and haven't gone back to check on the TiVo.

 

[Wiseblade]

Just watched the Finale.

Team Annie wins. FLAWLESS VICTORY.

 

[Evolved1]

I think Jeff wins...

 

[ThatObviousUser]

This show is like heroine. I need more. WHEN IS IT COMING BACK DAMNIT

I think, at the end of the day, it just comes down to personal opinion. This show straddles the line between good and bad so much that it can easily fall one way or the other. Do you expect Jeff and Britta since every story ends like that? Or, because Community is unconventional, do you NOT expect Jeff and Britta? Or is because the writers expect what you expect that they do what you don't expect? But what if you expect what they don't expect, then what? Is the ending unexpected or not?

Ergo, WIFOM

 

[Shaneus]

That was an awesome episode.:lol

I choose shorts. I CHOOSE SHORTS!

And white Abed :lol

Now you're just straight up being wrong.

.....What?

 

[big ander]

Very very good finale.

 

[Mifune]

I dont get why people are saying this? Is it because of the ending?

I just didn't find it very funny at all. And the way they shoehorned in every supporting character ever felt, well, shoehorned.

And I have nothing invested in Jeff/Britta or Jeff/Slater so the main storyline did nothing for me.

 

[Enosh]

Wow Jeff and Annie, didn't see this one comming, o.k. there was that hint in the debate episode where she kissed him, but that's about it (well there was some other minor stuff after the debate episode)

but yeah, great choice Jeff

 

[bud]

badger had me cracking up just because he was there. i love that guy. :lol

the team britta thing... did that originate in this thread? that was awesome haha.

 

[Solo]

Hrmmm....I thought that was the weakest episode of the season. On the up side, this episode proved, once again (like every other episode has since the pilot), two things: that Troy is unequivocally the best thing about the show, and that Team Britta is the only team worth talking about.

 

[bud]

the previous episode was the weakest one, imo.

You're letting your preconceptions about Annie cloud your judgment. There's no fucking way that was the worst episode.

 

[sazabirules]

I'm rooting for Team Jeff. He wins no matter what. I didn't think it was the weakest episode. It was really funny unlike The Office episode.

 

[Solo]

the previous episode was the weakest one, imo.

There have been 3-4 bad episodes for me, and this was the worst of them.

Er, what? My preconceptions about Annie? What am I, 13 years old? :lol :lol :lol

 

[MercuryLS]

Troy had me dying, when he came up to Jeff after the whole I love you thing and said "Heeeey man....etc" it was pitch perfect.

 

[sazabirules]

Is there any reason why in this episode the British guy was being a douche bag?

 

[thetechkid]

Is there any reason why in this episode the British guy was being a douche bag?

Well Jeff had two girls going for him and he had none, and Chang was hating on him the entire episode.

 

[KevinCow]

Is there any reason why in this episode the British guy was being a douche bag?

Because he's British.

 

[Messi]

Team abed is the only team worth supporting.

Can't wait for season one on blu and season 2!

 

[The Big Rig]

There have been 3-4 bad episodes for me, and this was the worst of them.

Right there with you. Its troubling that the finale became such a love...polygon. I just hope the show doesn't become a sex comedy (Friends, the later years).

 

[Costanza]

I'm rewatching Romantic Expressionism right now. "I did eat all the macaroni, it's messed up that he knows" still destroys me :lol

 

[Mifune]

Right there with you. Its troubling that the finale became such a love...polygon. I just hope the show doesn't become a sex comedy (Friends, the later years).

Agreed. This was the episode where everyone started acting out of character. I mean, could the women be any more shrill and annoying? It was an embarrassment.

And yes, Troy is always the best thing in every episode.

 

[Costanza]

And yes, Troy is always the best thing in every episode.

Just watched the finale, very disappointing. I liked the loophole joke, but that was about it.

Paintball ep should have been the finale.
