This episode was written by Jim Rash and was surprisingly decent, as in it didn’t feel like a completely different show for once. Also, I forgot to mention it altogether, but Donald Glover’s Abed impression throughout this episode was really rather impressive.

Arrested Community: “Why Community is Pretty Much Already Doomed”

Excerpt:

“What I’m seeing from fans who continue attempting to justify Season 4 is that it’s certainly not the best stuff Community has done, but there’s worse stuff on TV. So it’s just fine.

But that’s precisely the problem. What is the point of a “fine” Community? That’s not what Community IS. Even at its worst moments, Community was a show taking risks and trying odd things, reinventing or evolving its format and characters from episode to episode. Now, the ambition is gone.”

Here’s an excerpt:

“The discussion of whether video games are art or not is one no longer worth having. Games are a form of creative expression and those of us who continue to play them must be getting worthwhile experiences – emotional, mental, or otherwise – out of doing so. The more valid question is whether games are good art or not because, well, not a lot of modern games particularly overextend themselves when it comes to trying to take the medium in unique directions and mostly we’ve got boring, samey games.”
