Closest i can come up with are Sherlock and maybe Jonathan Creek. <br /><br />Other than that, i liked the episode. enlerphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04592588631554942133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-72138473724765163082014-01-11T06:52:51.274-05:002014-01-11T06:52:51.274-05:00I agree with just about everything you said, Julie...I agree with just about everything you said, Juliette... although I think I laughed more than you did. However, my feeling is one of overwhelming relief that Community is back. I "recognized" it, if you know what I mean.

I would say it's a <i>Hannibal</i> parody, too. (<i>Hannibal</i> features a detective with magical TV autism, and is very gray.) <br /><br />Regardless, I think this was more about creating a mood than poking fun at one particular thing. And it was the right mood in which to experience the news of Pierce's death.

Absolutely hilarious. I actually had to pause it at one point and just lean over because I was laughing so much. This is one of the best episodes in my opinion,<br /><br />The parody of all of those thriller type movies with serial killers and the like was spot on. The scene with Garrett overlayed with creepy young boy voices singing, Jeff and Annie knocking over every single shelf in sight, the Dean doing the "trace the call" snap throughout the entire phone call, the dramatic "reveal" of the Bandit, only for it to spiral out of control with more and more possible characters. They had the false reveal with Duncan, only to have him "die", the scene where Jeff putts on the radio and it plays stereotypical serial killer tracking music only for it to end quickly, the music that just sounds like the music you'd hear in one of these movies but it all having to do with butts. And of course, the scene that cemented the fact that I'm gonna miss Troy, when he shakily stood up, slapped Starburns, and sat back down.<br /><br />The gag with Abed just walking out of the room after talking about all of the autistic detectives was great. So far I've been liking Abed this season. I suppose it's because they've brought him back down to earth a bit.

I loved it so, so much. Dan Harmon isn't afraid to call shit out, even if calling that shit out implicates his parent company more than a bit (I'm thinking of Hannibal).<br /><br />Always impressed when a show goes the extra mile and makes a new credit sequence for a particular episode - that can be really expensive.<br /><br />Now that Pierce is dead, I'm fully expecting Chevy Chase to show up. Maybe they'll be at his funeral and Pierce will be there in a fake beard, he'll have faked his death. I don't know, I'm just not buying the fact that he's dead. Where they put it was weird and the Dean even mentioned Pierce's storied history of heart attack faking in his death announcement.sunbunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08553429350476841139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-45300646939721084602014-01-10T13:43:25.521-05:002014-01-10T13:43:25.521-05:00I've noticed a couple of reviews saying it'...I've noticed a couple of reviews saying it's parodying David Fincher - it's weird, cause I actually HAVE seen Se7en and The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (and did he randomly also do the Social Network?).

I wasn't sure what it was they were meant to be parodying. At first, I thought it was <i>CSI</i>, but then it got a bit dark and dramatic. I, too, landed on <i>Homeland,</i>, but it wasn't quite dark and dramatic enough.<br /><br />While I love the idea of Jeff and Annie, this flirtation thing the writers occasionally bring out has run its course. The teacher/student thing vs. the age thing is a really good point. The writers need to keep that in mind...ChrisBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10843864158239536750noreply@blogger.com
