I admit it’s _possible_ they’re going to get all “unreliable narrator” on us and the red card was not actually Annie’s, but I’d be disappointed if they did. I mean, amuse me, but don’t _fuck around_ with me. ---

The red card is Annie’s. The point was that she was the only left who still felt sympathetic to Pierce and that his dickishness during the paint ball game had finally killed that off. Pierce had finally managed to alienate the last person in the study group that liked him. ---

Epic episode… I was just wondering if anyone knows what the theme song was? It sounded really familiar but I can’t put a finger on it, as I’m not a big Western fan typically. ---

I loved how the Dean had both the bee suit & the dalmation suit inside his closet. Was anyone else a little disappointed that they Jeff didn’t reuse his cowboy outfit from the first season (the ep where Annie has the Day of the Dead party)? Can’t wait til next week! ---

I almost hate to do this, but there’s a fatal flaw in these episodes. With the stakes so high, why does no one… See if you can guess what I’m thinking. (In spoilers, please, as I will) ---

why doesn’t anyone bring extra changes of clothes so they can pretend they didn’t get shot? ---

(Like the Black Rider, or even their own friends) First idea does not work unless you have some way of getting intelligence on what is happening with the other teams, otherwise you don’t know when to make your move. Question: how popular are these characters outside the study group? It seems odd that in both paintball games the group has been divided. This time, even Abed and Troy were working seperately with Abed going solo and Troy working at Fort Hawthorne. Also, was Troy wearing a copy of Clevon Little’s costume from Blazing Saddles? ---

I couldn’t figure out who it was.

In real life, you’d have an awful lot of people getting shot, then shooting the person who “killed” them just for spite as well. I thought of all you pervs when Annie ran down the hall. I wonder how many individual instances of rewind-replay that had on the DVRs across the land.
