Huh? This didn't air here tonight. Was The Office or 30 Rock new as well? The only NBC show that aired in my area was Awake.

Looks like they're filling the void left by Chuck as the Subway pimping NBC show.

I've enjoyed the last couple of episodes, but ever since the show came back from hiatus the magic has been missing. The best thing about this show is the creative risk-taking. Lately it's been more of a standard sitcom.

I'm guessing we'll get lots of complaints about the Subway placement.

I was fine with the Subway thing. It was pretty subversive. Seems like the magic might be back. No more silly graphics and shit.

Now that I see the title, I get the deviant sex act that Britta suggested.

Couldn't agree with you more. I actually remember the episode of Happy Days where the Fonz built a pillow fort and Richie rebelled and build his own blanket fort. You'd think they would come up with new story lines. And the thread with Jeff reminded me of that episode of Facts of Life where Jo apologizes to a locker of a dead girl only to find out the girl wasn't dead after all. Weird.

Yep. I think the quality has been way, way down. Although most people seem to like it so maybe it's just me.

It did fall a little flat for some reason. Still enjoyable.

I did finish the show feeling the need for a meatball sub for some reason though. No idea where that came from.

There was the "see-thru" shot of Britta's purse showing the lipstick/microphone. Not a big deal, but I did notice it because I remembered people complaining about the use of graphics the last couple of weeks.

Maybe they're banking on the majority of their viewers not being all old.

I got sick from a subway meatball sub a long time ago, and have had subway maybe twice since then, it's mediocre stuff imo.

Everything from Subway is mediocre but every once in a while when you are on the run and hungry... It does the job.

In my head I was just thinking it was an homage to Chuck, which made me like that plot that much more

"Did you just DRINK ink?"

Brita Unfiltered.

Good to see Travis Schuldt getting work.

I'm glad you pointed that out because I was looking at the title, trying to figure out how 'digital' played into the episode.

Great episode. Pierce drinking all the ink was cracking me up.

Loved all the Subway stuff. "Eat Fresh!"

So they seem to be very specifically pointing out that Pierce is losing his mind.

Also, the Subway guy not being able to get up from the table bit, and how long it went on, had me rolling.

I feel like it's been like that all season. The Foosball, Documentary and Chaos Theory episodes were classics. The rest have been just ok. The ones that feature Chang heavily have actually been pretty dull.

The first two episodes since the hiatus were pretty meh. I thought this one was really good. All 3 story lines were hitting for me. The Game of Thrones ending was a great set up for next week. The idea that John Goodman is pitting Troy vs Abed is great. The Jeff stuff was pretty predictable but I did enjoy him completely forgetting who Kim was at the end again.

I thought it was funny. Britta Unfiltered cracked me up. And the dean googling record lengths of things. They definitely seem to be pointing Pierce in a specific direction. Looking forward to next week's conclusion!

I thought it was hilarious. Also laughed out loud at Annie showing the group how she had to scream hysterically every few hours in the sleep lab.
