The excuse for the puppet motif (puppet therapy) had potential, but the story itself and the songs (oh the horrible songs!) were just bad. Bad, bad, bad. <br /><br />I did love seeing Sara Bareilles though. I just wish they'd given her something more interesting to do. And why in the world didn't she get to sing more?Scott Rigganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01711526444461565186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-7036544880921552352013-08-06T07:48:31.692-04:002013-08-06T07:48:31.692-04:00I didn't hate this episode.

I agree completely that it is trying too hard and that the songs don't work, but I did like the character interactions.<br /><br />Great review, Juliette. I can't imagine how difficult this one must have been to write!ChrisBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10843864158239536750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-31490227870692245882013-07-26T16:53:12.286-04:002013-07-26T16:53:12.286-04:00The songs felt like they were thrown in just to ki...The songs felt like they were thrown in just to kill time. They were repetitive and rather useless. It was like they got sick of writing this episode after coming up with the initial concept and just decided to go the easy route instead.<br /><br />The whole 'we each had a secret but when we talked about them, we felt better' thing is straight out of a children's show and it's stupid and simplistic.<br /><br />Like many people, this episode is the one that made me truly despair over season 4.

My thought, though, was that <i>Community</i> had always been a satirical take on a sitcom. In season four, it started to feel like it was the sitcom it was previously satirizing. Maybe that's part of it.Billie Douxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141769005175631213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-53838110192188740142013-07-26T12:25:25.969-04:002013-07-26T12:25:25.969-04:00Thanks! :) It was hard to review, cause it's k...Thanks! :) It was hard to review, cause it's kind of hard to say exactly what's wrong with it, it's just... off.Juliettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00203399623895589924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-35425712945108508792013-07-26T11:48:34.826-04:002013-07-26T11:48:34.826-04:00Maybe it wasn't terrible, but I just couldn...Maybe it wasn't terrible, but I just couldn't handle this one. It was when I pretty much accepted that I'd had enough. And it could have been great. As you say, Juliette, it was weird. But not in a cool-<i>Community</i> way. <br /><br />Terrific review, though. :)Billie Douxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141769005175631213noreply@blogger.com
