Jeff made a lot of dioramas, but did he build enough to graduate on time?

General Thoughts

I didn’t like that Jeff was pushing at Abed, testing him. He didn’t need to roll any dice. And it seems like emotional roulette to try to trap Abed like that.

Now, this Jeff Winger double … that was weird. Evil Jeff. Evil doppelganger. Whatever. And I don’t think other people like this either… we like the show and the humor, but this doppelganger stuff doesn’t play so well. So, uh, don’t center yet ANOTHER episode all about it! We know it’s all about a metaphor, but this time they made it seem very real.

Returning to “the darkest timeline” didn’t do anything for me. And I’m sure everyone is sad that there was no paintball. (That gun with the blue paint doesn’t count. Not at all.) (EDIT time!) …Of course, the last half of the episode DID turn into paintball. Which was pretty much a fun relief!

Community season 4 has been the weakest season so far. Do I think this could be because Dan Harmon is no longer attached? I do. And do I think that NBC should renew Community for season 5 anyway? Absolutely I do. They can make adjustments and get back to the quality they had in the first three seasons.

Overall, the finale was decent but not nearly as good as we’re used to.  I wanted even more emotional impact…and it felt strangely lacking in that. And seriously, I am pretty emotionally invested in this show…so what does it say when I don’t have any tears at the end?

Of course, I hope this isn’t the end.
