Shenanigans ensue in the latest episode of Community.

Here is our review!

Im starting to believe in Dan Harmon again, at least a little bit anyway.

He claimed at one point that Season 6 would feel like Season 1.

In fact, it isnt attempting to be anything except a good sitcom episode.

But does it feel like a Season 1 episode?

Well, come on now, lets be reasonable.

The core premises here are more over the top than anything Season 1 wouldve pulled.

Like a lot of post-Season 2Community, the storylines are rushed into rather than reached through a clear progression.

On the one hand, this makes perfect sense.

We know everyone has come to love Greendale more over the course of five years.

On the other hand, it still feels artificial and sitcommy.

The plot also unavoidably highlights how the show is often treading water lately.

The gang already spent a whole season saving Greendale.

At this point it has to introduce ridiculous new problems to keep that objective relevant.

All said and done, its a reasonably entertaining save the school episode.

There are some nice little heart-to-hearts, but we dont learn much of anything new about the characters.

We also knew Annie was idealistic and honest to a fault.

But nothing too exceptional happened here character-wise.
