Britta’s knock-knock joke is next level. FLOOR!

The Nathan Fillion throw away joke (Chang’s same sex celebrity crush) followed by the Nathan Fillion cameo in the next episode is one of my favorite call backs of the entire series.

Amazing, yet heartbreaking episode

The Troy's goodbye stuff is awesome in this episode, but I think the homage to post-apocalyptic movies is a little weak. I know they had absolutely no budget at this point on NBC, so I probably shouldn't be very critical of that aspect. It just doesn't feel as committed as Modern Warfare, Epidemiology, Basic Lupine, etc to me.

I fully agree with this one. The low budget can really be felt. ACB hid it well with its "smaller" scope, but in this one it's really apparent.

Overall I seem to like this episode a lot less than most. It's not written as tightly as I would like.

What, that episode is awesome I love the thing about community needing very little budget.

Who doesn't get nostalgic for hot lava besides reincarnated Pompeiians? It was about Abed being able to let go of Troy. While him leaving sucked he got a great send off. Hot lava and LeVar Burton. Can u imagine giving Geordi orders as Captain? Like how cool is that for a Trekkie?

Is there any follow-up to Troy and Lavar being captured by pirates?

I take Levar hosting Jeopardy this week to mean they got back somehow

Oh thank God.

I like the concept of this episode, not the execution. That's best way to describe this one.

Im kind of with you. I feel like they needed to put too much focus on saying goodbye to Troy which resulted in the game and gimmick lacking a bit.

Noooo! For some reason, I’ve been missing all of the weekly rewatches lately - and I really like this episode and the previous one.

But now that I’m here, one of my favorite characters in this (and every episode he’s in) is Duncan. Same goes for Levar Burton!

Duncan’s return to the show is one of the best things to happen through it’s run.

Just finished watching this episode (first-time binge) I. Am. Heartbroken 💔

Why do I feel like this? Does the sadness ever go away? What happened to 'six seasons and a movie' ??! This must be the darkest Time-Line, it has to be...
