I haven't watched this episode yet but it's still far from the show it once was, although the Halloween episode was slightly better as it didn't feel as haphazard as the first. Although, everything about the third screams that I might breakdown and cry during it.

Tonight's seemed like the writers of 'Go On' trying to write Community.

The more I watch this season the more I feel myself dying inside, they are trying so f***ing hard as well to try and make it work. A chuckle or two, and thinking there was a decent couple of lines was all that got me through that episode (except from the point below). As a hardcore fan I am with it to the end, whether I like it or not, I loved the show so much not to see it through, even if the new episodes do make me shiver in awkwardness sometimes.
Gillian helps...she definitely helps. My god that opening scene!

Okay, so I just watched the new episode from the beginning. Like the last 2 episodes, there were a couple of jokes I liked: Abed's "Can I Winger you for a minute?", the joke that Inspector Spacetime is his own grandfather and grandmother, and Troy and Abed casually saying hi to each other while Toby has Abed locked in that phonebooth. And I kinda like the idea that the American Inspector Spacetime episode was written exclusively for Pierce (not just how simplified the concepts were, but also the idea that the 60s are the greatest time period ever). But that's pretty much it.
I really hate to be one of these "OMG the girls are SO HOT!" kind of guys. I mean, I have the internet, finding hot girls to look at is not at all difficult. But the fanservice is what's really holding my attention this season. The opening with Gillian in her underwear, Alison's legs and cleavage in that little dress she was wearing all episode, and one random female extra in ass-hugging tan pants for a scene. This is what I hang onto after an episode now. This show used to be...more.

I liked the episode well enough. It wasn't great by any stretch of the imagination. Though I think after seeing three episodes of "Community" without Dan Harmon as the showrunner that, looking back, there are some clunkers from his run of the show (especially during Season 3) that make me think that even if he had stayed on that the show wouldn't be as good. I don't know, I mean, maybe the Hawthorne mansion episode could have been a send-up of "Scooby Doo" or that Bill Murray would guest star on the show as a relative of one of the main characters (as what Dan Harmon has mentioned on the DVD commentaries as an idea)... who knows.
I'll take the show for what it is. There are little details that annoy me about this season's batch of episodes, but the show isn't offensive to the "Community" name in comparison to episodes like "Investigative Journalism," "Celebrity Pharmacology," or "Contemporary Impressionists."

On the one hand, of course I quite enjoyed watching Gillian in the opening sequence but on the other, I was like "This is so out of place on this show".

Most of this, actually. Yeah, it's not what it used to be, but it wasn't bad, necessarily. I really liked the interactions between Troy and Britta, Troy and Abed, and Annie and Jeff. Also, the idea of Annie going all giddy over being Mrs. Winger was adorable. All in all, yeah it felt kind of sitcom-y, but it worked for what it was.

I was expecting a lot worse based on everyone's comments, but it wasn't as terrible as I thought it would be.
It's definitely not the show that I signed on for, it's much more conventional and sit-com-ish, which doesn't mean it's not good, but just not why I really got into it. The Britta escape + getting dressed + donuts bit was VERY well executed in every way possible though.
"I miss when this was a show about community college." about sums it up best. Like how Parks & Rec used to be a show about the Parks Dept.
I think I'm about done with the Inspector SpaceTime stuff too.

To be honest, I actually liked the first two episodes, and didn't really get the criticism that everybody was talking about. But last night's episode... yeesh. What the hell happened?

Next week's episode features the debut of Malcolm McDowell as a history professor, and the return of the German students from last season's foosball episode.

I haven't had any problems with the new season. If anything, it's seemed a little more selfaware, which I'm on the fence on.
