Abed also doesn’t always grasp basic interpersonal interaction. Such as: You don’t invite people to your house, and expect them to pay for pizza.

Right, as explained upthread: (even though Shirley never caught Brita smoking weed in the real timeline… at least not from what we saw)

Another thing I caught was just a simple mistake of Pierce in the back holding his gift AFTER he threw it out, (on the last timeline).

He got it out of the trash can, and tossed it out the window.

Which is why he wasn’t dancing to Roxanne with the other four.

So if Jeff has to hook up with one or the other do you think he’d be more compatible with Britta (again) or Annie('s boobs)?

He could randomly hook up with Britta just fine, but I can’t see Jeff having a successful real relationship with either of them.

BTW, is Shirley still pregnant with Chang’s baby, or did they drop that story line?

No, they dropped the baby (on the classroom floor) last season.

I either missed that or completely forgot about it.

And it wasn’t Chang’s baby.

It was another bottle episode - took place entirely in the anthropology classroom.

I’m going to look that up. I honestly don’t know if I just forgot all about it or didn’t see it at all. I could have sworn I’ve seen every episode last season, but none of this rings a bell.

It was the third-to-last episode of the second season, just before the two-part western/outer-space paintball epic.

And it’s not too surprising that anyone would forget - references to the baby have (thank god) been extremely rare and Shirley is the character I already tend to dislike, so baby stuff would just make it worse. Overall, it’s practically as though the character was never pregnant at all.

It didn’t have a tail, so it wasn’t Chang’s baby after all.

It was also right after the “clip show” episode. So they sandwiched a mediocre episode between two amazing episodes.

Nice, thanks. It’s interesting to see that the dark timeline was the shortest–seemed like it had the most stuff packed into it, but it all happened so quickly.
