Chang's future crimes unit was pretty great.

Sometimes it seems like they go out of their way to be inaccessible to a casual viewer and many episodes' stories are totally bonkers. For a network show with poor ratings I'd say they're definitely taking risks.

I mean they could have toned things down a little without alienating the fan base but if anything they've been ramping it up.

Regarding this episode, I wouldn't quite call it a Community classic but I enjoyed it. Clip show formats, even with original material can often be tedious but almost all the clips here were entertaining.

A major part of the reason I love this show so much is that they swing for the fences so much and end up hitting way more home runs than any show should be able to.

They had me sold on the idea. I was pretty sure that this was going to be some serialized ending to the show.

Letting them find out that they were all in an insane asylum the whole time would've been a perfect way to end the series.

Another classic episode. However, I was slightly bummed that the asylum plot wasn't the truth. What kind of show makes you root for the "it was all a dream" ending?

$60?! Hello, rich people? It's me, Troy. Yes, I'll hold.

That's what kills me about this show being on its last legs. They could go in so many different directions at once with the timeline stuff but they just don't have enough time or episodes left

Count me as another disappointed that they didn't save the asylum for the series finale. That would have been freakin awesome.

Three of my favorite parts of this one all belonged to Shirley. 1. Calling Brett Ratner the next Speilberg. 2. finding the book with the hollowed out pages in the shape of a gun. Her line ("I'm gonna pretend I didn't see that") delivery was excellent. 3. Her just rocking back and forth in the corner of the asylum.

I forgot, I also loved Garett's "normal" voice when they were in the asylum.

OMG, that would be awesome if they got her to do a cameo.
