Remedial Chaos Theory

It makes sense that an episode of Community where many of the laugh out loud moments are set up in one timeline and only reach their true payoff in another timeline is the episode which pops up throughout the rest of the season as a reference point for the study group.

This episode was about a lot of things. It certainly pushed the limits of what a twenty-two minute television show on NBC can do. It did something deeper with an exploration of the group dynamic within the study group. This episode delves into what place each character has in the group and where their strengths lie for the group as a whole. It does so in a supremely clever way, by subtlety removing a person from the group in seven separate timelines and allowing us to see how the group reacts without that person. The only difference from timeline to timeline is that a different person is removed in each timeline. There's your episode.

Brilliant writing. Fantastic concept. A solid 10 and a must-see episode of Community.

Smarter than even the smartest of sci-fi movies. So interesting while also being funny and touching. My all time favorite TV episode.

#1/10

Best. Community. Episode. Ever. Absolutely brilliant. Extremely dark while still hilarious. All of the characters are used well in this episode. All of the characters have story lines together that work so well. It's just brilliant go watch it and you'll know why.

What an episode! Mindblowing! The 20 minutes of this episode gives a tough competition to even the best sci-fi movies. This episode not only kept me involved till the end, but also making me laugh a lot. Probably one among the best episodes of this show, or of any show for that matter. Glad that this show isn't degrading after extremely positive reviews of the first 2 seasons. The show just keeps getting better and better. The writing certainly hasn't dried up and even the acting is spot-on! Troy & Abed FTW !

Comedy wise - As usual what you expect from a Community episode. Plot and entertainment wise - AMAZING !!!

Rating - 10/10 !

The absolute best episode of the show. May be the best bottle episode of a sitcom ever made.
