I liked them poking fun at the uselessness of the UN. Martin Starr will be a great addition to the cast. "The science works." :lol:

Every time "Hello" started playing when Britta and Chang looked at one another, I couldn't help but laugh.

Odd episode though. There were some decent laughs, but it just felt sort of strange at times; not quite sure how else to describe it.

The "Hello" bits between Chang and Britta, Annie's temper tantrum and Abed and Troy playing operation on Pierce were the best parts of the episode. :lol:

I didn't care too much for this episode. The UN Model thing was funny, but I didn't care much for the Chang and Britta scenes.

Anonther soild episode, better than the premiere I thought. Good to see the show's still got it.

"Abed what did I tell you, you can't just mumble nonsense, no one's cutting away"

Pretty good, but this show really started to lose me last season when it got so reliant on gimmick episodes. It doesn't help that everything else pales in comparison to Parks & Rec right now.

I do want a .gif of Annie jamming the straw in and out of the cup and then Abed's (or maybe it was Troy) hand coming into the shot, taking the cup, removing the lid, and then putting the cup back in front of Annie.

Also, I'm still not terribly comfortable with this Annie and Jeff relationship. The age difference just makes for this sleazy vibe any time they tease it.

Agree. And this show doesn't need any "Ross & Rachel" stuff, either. They successfully diverged away from that when it looked like they were going in that direction with Jeff and Britta. So I hope we don't get any needless sentimental/romantic angle with Jeff and Annie. I don't think we will because the shows not really built for that, but just saying that it would be off-putting in an otherwise great and unconventional show.

It's not full blown 'Ross & Rachel' but it seems like they've been teasing the Jeff and Annie thing off and on for awhile now. It seems inevitable that they'll be revisiting it as part of future arcs. I don't necessarily think that's a bad thing as I trust the writers not to go overboard.

Nice nod there to all the Comic Con fans by doing Crisis and name dropping Earth-1 and Earth-2.

But besides giving a nod to the comic fans when they said that I went "They're pulling a Fringe!"

There's like a 5 year age-difference between those two in real life.

Liked seeing the head security guard from that Will Arnett Fox show, I really liked him on that show.

Agreed. Almost seemed like a show trying to be like Community. Still enjoyable, but far from their finest ep...

Much more enjoyable than the premiere. Pierce's lines about asians and women had me rolling.

By who's math? Joel McHale is 39 and Alison Brie is 27.

I'll have to rewatch this episode again, but I didn't love it. I thought the Chang/Britta bits were great, but the UN thing didn't work for me as much. And although I'm not personally opposed to teasing the Jeff/Annie relationship , the way it played out in this episode seemed weird to me. The whole issue of Jeff treating Annie like a little kid as a way to diffuse his attraction came out of nowhere. If this episode had taken place at the beginning of season 2 it would made more sense to me.

Chang, Britta and spitting was oddly hot.

I really didn't like the Chang/Britta stuff.

The Model UN stuff was good.

Some great lines this episode but Troy's delivery of the line "we all farted" was the funniest thing I saw in all the NBC sitcoms last night. Troy is one of the best characters on television.
