I’ll leave a little space for mouseover.

One of the best episodes yet. When the tiny car blew up – from three angles, naturally – I just lost it. Also loved everything going on in the massive blanket fort.

I didn’t know it was possible for me to love a tv show so much.

I loved it. So many great quotes. “Enjoy eating fiber and watching The Mentalist.”

I didn’t like the main plot with Jeff, but the B plot…it shows how geeky I am that I was thinking how cool it would be to be in fort like that. I’d love it.

Loved the blanket fort! Especially the chase through the Turkish section.

The resolution to the Jeff/Annie plot was not as good as the lead-up, but still kinda funny.

I think I’m in love with Alison Brie.

😃 Alas, it made me laugh because it hit too close to home…

The A-plot did fall a little flat at the end, but I loved the blanket fort.

The cop coming in at the end reminded me of **Arrested Development** (“This is why we don’t teach lessons!”). Would have been nice if he only had one arm.

I would have thought somebody would have started this thread, but I guess everybody got stuck in the Turkish district by that Latvian parade. I know, I know, but they had the proper permits.  
Anybody wanna build a cardboard submarine? And how can I get Professor Professorson’s ringtone? Dun, dun, duuuuuunnnn!

Really? I looked! Damn. Well, you spend too much time in the pillow fort and see what happens? Plus I was really tired after studying for Principles of Intermediate.

I definitely want that. It’s the same ringtone Sally Sparrow (from Doctor Who) has.\*

\*Mentioned in the original script, but left out of the episode, alas.

I’m with some of you.

The main story line was just weird, and didn’t make any sense, (at least to me). I guess they were just trying to spoof another type of movie/TV trope where there are multiple surprises at the end, but I think the writers have proven they’re capable of doing a better job.

Loved the forts though.

Where’s Chang?!

</div>

The write-up of the episode on The Onion A.V. Blog suggested that Chang (i.e., Ken Jeong) might have been off filming The Hangover 2. Although I think it’s a good thing for an ensemble show to sometimes leave out various characters.

What about Pierce? Kind of weird how mute he was in this episode.

I enjoyed the main plot a lot more that the blanket fort subplot. The Troy-Abed dynamic was sadly lacking.

Annie flopping on the ground while Jeff steps over her and walks away had me laughing out loud.

Then you, and any other red blooded American male, should enjoy [this pic I just found](http://######[media.egotastic.com/media/pictures/](http://media.egotastic.com/media/pictures/) 1009/alison-brie-mens-health-oct-2010-01.jpg).

Image should be safe for work, but maybe pushing that envelope a bit… no nudity, but definitely hot stuff. I broke the link just in case.

(my broken link didn’t work on first try, this time should do thet rick. Just take out the pound signs.)

I want a pillow fort with a turkish room too. Kind of disappointed that they didn’t do anything with Troy’s birthday, but I guess we can’t have everything.

Are they starting up the Annie-Jeff shipper thing again? It seems a tad ill-advised, since it’ll seem like a repeat of previous storylines, but watching Alison Brie and Joel McHale interact is always welcome.

On _Dangerous Dean_: “That is going to be the worst book I ever read cover to cover.”

I feel embarrassed to ask, but what’s the all the love for the Turkish district about? I feel like I’m missing something.

It looked like that was where the stoners (and Britta) were hanging out.
