I would like to make the Christmas Pterodactyl part of our family's Christmas tradition.

No love for the amazing D&D episode of Community last night? Great that they could make a literal game of D&D so dramatic!

I was really excited for the D&D episode and thought it was pretty good. It is really hard for them to beat the goodfellas, paintball and zombie episodes though. Those three were some of the most well produced half hour sitcoms ever.
It is by far the best network sitcom in a long time. It is a gem of a show if you are a alternative comedy nerd.
It still suffers from very weak acting sometimes, but the show has only gotten better and exceeded a great first season. I will never understand how American Neilson family's minds work. How Parks and Rec and Community can do so poorly in the ratings week after week while Two and a Half Men and Dancing with the stars are juggernauts.
Anyone else find a real dark tone to last nights episode? I loved the episode myself, and would put it up there as quite possibly 2nd favourite ever, but it really had a dark, comedy vibe going that Community really hasn't visited before.
I thought the D&D episode was one of the worst (Claymation one takes the crown on that).
Maybe because I have no interest in D&D. I actually had no idea what it was, and now do. Do nerds still play it? I thought it was for nerds in the 80s?

I loved the D&D episode, even though I really have no idea what D&D is about.
The weak link in this otherwise great show is Chevy Chase though. He's a distraction rather than an asset.

The average American is a moron, they enjoy watching other morons act like morons.
Try piloting a shopping cart through the average grocery store in Mid-America, there's a similar heft and intelligence as a holding pen at a packing plant.
(Btw, before any Americans/American residents get upset, this applies to Canada too, but the joke isn't as funny when you add that part, assuming it's funny at all)
I guess my view on the show this year is a bit different than the majority. I haven't found it as entertaining or as well-written as the first season (notwithstanding the great zombie/Abba Halloween episode this year), but I've found Pierce better written this year than last.
That noted, let's get down to what's important and certainly of consensus vis-a-vis awesomeness:

An interesting and unexpected interview today in the Globe &Mail with Allison Brie, otherwise known as Annie on Community, a character player on Mad Men and, of course, the ex-star of Hot Sluts.
the D&D episode was fantastic, right up there with the paintball episode for me, and i don't even like D&D. Pierce did an awesome job as the villian and the Abed/Annie exchange was brilliant
I loved the D&D episode, even though I really have no idea what D&D is about.

I agree 100%. Chase does not move the story along at all. It could be part of the writing (just making him the creepy old guy that wants to sleep with everyone). An individual like his character is not likable in person, and definitely not likable stacked up to the rest of the characters on the show. The writer who is assigned to his Chase needs to re-evaluate his direction.
I highly recommend Bored to Death. It's a noire themed show and I think you'll like it a lot. That is, if you have not been blessed by viewing an episode yet. Ted Danson steals the show; which is quite the complement when his fellow actors are Jason Schwartzman, Zach Galifianakis.
I understand where the Chevy criticism comes from, but I think he's a effective character and I don't think the show would work as well if he had a role as Fletch.

Speaking of which...I loved the cameo of Malcolm-Jamal Warner a couple of weeks ago as Shirley's ex, especially the sweater he was wearing that was gift from his father. I'm a sucker those types of throw-away meta-jokes.
