How amazing was that? I wasn’t sure Community could top the epic paintball war of last season, but after watching the old Western style paintball episode on Thursday night, I’m pretty sure they did it.
I whine a lot about how Annie hasn’t gotten enough material or screen time lately, so it was nice to see her take the lead in the episode. Alison Brie is such a diverse actress, pulling off roles on Community and Mad Men and it was awesome to see her show off more skills. Who would have thought she could make such a great Lara Croft type? I want her to win the whole thing.
The half hour flew by, because it was packed with lots of action, jokes, and great interactions within the gang. I loved that within the paintball game the writers managed to address Pierce’s unlikable nature this season.

Somewhere in the middle — and that's okay.
For the second part, next week, the genre switches gears from Western to alien invasion. I can’t wait to see where they go with this. Now, check out these highlights – there were so many!
- “That was a game. This is paintball.” – Annie
- The credits!
- The nicknames!
- “Yeah? And I want pants. A lot of people want a lot of things.” – Annie
- “He’s really good looking. Like, network TV good looking.” – Abed
- Jeff: “My forehead’s not that big right?”
Troy: “It’s not small.” - “Actually, Jeff, he’s been pretty decent in this game, so far. He’s created a safe zone where people can rest, eat, and in some cases, pump their breast milk.” – Shirley
- “It began with a dream Annie. A dream and an impulse to hide in the men’s room. I found that people were willing to roll bullets under the door just for the right to take a dump. By the way, for you guys, taking a dump is on the house.” – Pierce, on his saloon-like fort.
- “You’ve kind of acted like a villain this year.” – Abed to Pierce, getting all meta
- Cheerleader: “Not cool, bitch.”
Annie: “Yeah, so you told me at last year’s try-outs.” - “Stop trying to fluster me with your handsomeness. You’re creepy.” – Annie
- “I get paid to shoot paintballs, honey. Not the breeze.” – The Black Rider
- “You think you’re good looking, but you’re not. You’re average. You’re just an average looking guy with a big chin.” – Jeff
- “Last week he did it to get out of letting me have a stick of gum.” – Abed, on Pierce faking a heart attack
- “I wouldn’t go to this toilet with my sister’s big toe.” – The Black Rider
- Chang getting creamed!
- “Resistance is as useless as your degrees.”
