The Apollo 13 episode — where we kind of go to space, so to speak — that’s going to be one of the more ambitious episodes that we’re all sort of hoping will have a similar if not better feel to the paintball episode. And the Halloween episode, which we just finished, is scaled up. It’s definitely a full-on horror-movie episode and really well done.

@danharmon okay, guys! Not asking you to do anything for me, because you're already fans, I'm just informing: if ratings drop tonight, I kill myself!
@danharmon It's not an appeal, it's just information. I have a gun in my mouth. If I get a 2, I put it in a drawer. 1.9, on the desk. 1.8, BANG.

Just got the season 1 DVD; the outtakes are as funny as the funniest moments of the episodes...funnier, in some cases.

tonight's episode was so bad I walked out (of my own living room)

It wasn't very good, but it was hardly that bad. Troy was good, I liked the Betty White Inception coda, and Oliver's delivery of the 'play along' line was excellent.

agreed, also the little segment of Oliver force pushing Chang away from the food line, then immediately sliding back to his conversation with Jeff was great

I liked the episode just fine.
― funky house skeptic (polyphonic), Friday, 8 October 2010 06:01 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah, I thought it was just as funny as the other two this season.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 8 October 2010 06:11 (thirteen years ago) link
Okay Patton Oswalt as the doctor was funny. "These paps aren't going to smear themselves!" There wasn't anything wrong with this ep at all. Or the season so far.
― VegemiteGrrrl, Friday, 8 October 2010 06:16 (thirteen years ago) link
Patton made the same cameo in S1 iirc.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 8 October 2010 06:24 (thirteen years ago) link
apparently abed had an episode-long plotline involving a pregnant woman that went on in the background of a lot of different scenes -- my dad noticed something was going on mid-episode, but we didn't catch everything.
― it sucks and you all love something that sucks (reddening), Friday, 8 October 2010 06:25 (thirteen years ago) link
in the first scene, there's the pregnant woman in the background. In the cafeteria, she goes into labor. Later, she's giving birth in the back of a van.
― kate78, Friday, 8 October 2010 10:58 (thirteen years ago) link
yes because while everyone obsesses about death life goes on etc etc etc

honestly, i completely missed the abed thing, and was baffled when he popped up at the end
― Nhex, Friday, 8 October 2010 21:33 (thirteen years ago) link
I liked this episode as much as the last oneTeacher: "You in the boobs"
the oil fight was sexy

great episode... saw the pregnant lady in the opening and wondered if she was why jeff was getting the blood test. after abed reappeared at the end, my gf and i watched the whole episode over again to follow his sub-plot. genius!

community over 30 rock this week. both excellent though. senor chang saying YOU ARE DRUNK AND STUPID pushed community over the line first.

A dis"ass"ter of global "proportions" hit the quad wednesday when two do-"good looking"ers wrestled with an unknown issue involving oil. Looks eco-"friendly" to us, ladies!

ahh what was I thinking, ILX losing its hyperbolic nature?
This episode was hilarious. It started slow, but John Oliver was hot fire. There were a few forced jokes in there (mostly in the first five mins), and the oil wrestling thing was cliche, but I still laughed a lot.

I like that they have lessons. Cynicism is so cheap and easy, and being able to pull off some sort of emotion without resorting to Scrubs or Modern Family tactics is an achievement in this day and age.
― No Good, Scrunty-Looking, Narf Herder (Gukbe), Sunday, 10 October 2010 16:39 (thirteen years ago) link
Plus I'm more invested in these characters, so even if an episode (like this week's) isn't firing on all cylinders comedy wise, I still enjoy it.

I had a feeling that the scenes I was seeing were "busier" than normal, but I didn't realize what had happened until someone on here mentioned it when the show was over.
― Johnny Fever, Sunday, 10 October 2010 17:00 (thirteen years ago) link
Also, did you notice that the oil drum back there says "Wilde" on it?
