Also, was that Appomattox University I saw on Pelton’s degree (when he set it on fire)? If so, that was another nice little allusion to him losing his personal war. ---

> [@joebuck20](#): > > Yep, many awesome moments in last night’s episode. Loved Jeff in the Pelton skullcap and watching him channel Big Gay Al on the first day of shooting (and Pelton thinking it was spot on). “I’m such a silly goose. Honk! Honk!” “This is my sister’s outfit!” ---

I liked it. I think the show needs to stick to its premise a little more, so I like when the episodes actually rely on the fact that the characters are in a Community College, as this one did. ---

I’m really going to miss this show when they take it off the schedule to bring frickin 30 Rock back. Joel McHale doing Jim Rush, holy crap, he was awesome. Even that time he was just walking away from someone and raised his hand up dismissively. WHOA. ---

Sometimes the shows are so broad that the cast seems to be “acting” acting. You can watch them. This one was broader, but they were having so much fun kicking every director they’ve ever hated that they felt more real than usual. ---

My favorite moment came at the very end, when Abed lifts his eye from the camera he’s holding to give a quizzical look to the camera filming the actor. It was a great break-the-fourth-wall moment, and makes me want to rewatch the episode to isten to Abeds commentary as commentary on the show itself. ---

> [@h.sapiens](#): > > What was the caption under Jeff’s name at the beginning? My local station chose that exact moment to slap its logo on the bottom of the screen, so I couldn’t read it. It said “Former Lawyer”. Man, that episode was brilliant. ---

Thought it was a great episode. I didn’t buy that everyone would willingly go along with the dean’s crazy ideas for so long, but maybe they were obsessed with being in a commercial that would air for 20 years. ---

Even that time he was just walking away from someone and raised his hand up dismissively. WHOA. And it felt like Pelton was also turning into Winger in the middle, when his beard was growing in, and his voice got gruff. It was like they were channeling each other. Amazing. ---
