Great episode, except for Britta’s Pizza dance. That just didn’t work for me. Troy’s timeline was the best, by far.

If you’re a sophisticated home owner, you can still get them.

This was my take, as well.

I love Economy Candy!

Also loved this episode. I’m glad such a unique show can survive on network television.

I liked the fact it stayed away from sensitive topics like the Negro Problem.

Nobody does a terrified petrified gaze like Donald Glover, and I literally did a spit take later when he answered them with his electronic larynx. I also loved Abed stopping to reposition Indiana Jones before calling 911.

In that timeline, she didn’t have to go to the bathroom, as she was outside getting the pizza. Possibly smoking with the pizza guy. Probably already high upon arrival to the party.

Or maybe not. Who knows with 6 different timelines and all.

I liked how, in the one timeline where airplane bathrooms really came up naturally in conversation, Pierce didn’t mention Eartha Kitt.

And yeah, the moment when Troy gets back to his apartment may be the best thing ever.

The only way it could have worked better would have been if there had been an explosion and Pierce had walked out seemingly unharmed but then was revealed to have half his head blown to bits. (That’s a reference to another TV show episode that if you don’t recognize it I won’t spoil it.)

Did anybody else not miss Chang in the least? I think he worked as a recurring character (like the dean and Starburns and [the really old guy]) but not as a regular.

Plus in the final scene, Troy and Abed are clearly watching _Inspector Spacetime_.

She lives in a very bad neighborhood. I take it as a callback to that episode about the conspiracy theories and Professor Professorson.

Abed, was of course wrong, first there were two timelines, one where he catches the die and one where he doesn’t. Then the die throwing timeline splits into six timelines.

Cue, “Of course it does, Gangster Octopus”.

Oh yeh, Britta was stoned retarted from the get-go. The bathroom thing was just a bump for her blaze. It’s also why she was so uninhibited, like wanting to belt out Roxanne, the pizza-dance, deciding to marry the ugly pizza dude, her insatiable hunger (like eating Shirley’s pies) etc.

Now knowing episodes 03 and 04 were switched, it makes sense in the previous episode, when Britta was burning Abed’s popularity list, Shirley exclaims “Oh no! She’s using her marijuana lighter!!”

I got the impression they’d just come back from Pierce’s funeral.

I didn’t miss Chang much, but I was kind of hoping the dean would come in at the end and offer to give one-armed Jeff a hand.

Now I’m thinking about buying some mahogany bunk beds and an olive dish for my toilet.
