    Good concept, poor execution

    I like the series and loved the paintball episodes. This time, they have a good concept, but it just fall short - just not funny. Troy and Abed for some reason evolved into characters who were goofy best friends and then somehow are not able to navigate a dispute and turn into enemies. Subplots about Jeff and Annie and Britta's bad photography are the only saving grace of this episode. Overall it was something that I wish the writers would have read and then gone back to the drawing board to refine. I thought this episode was just a big swing and a miss. Based on the overall score this episode has been given, it appears my sentiment is in the minority. So be it, it just was not for me.

    Community at It's best

    Community deals with concepts which are well designed which creates unique story lines. In this documentary style episode it gives the writers to make a funny yet adds complexity to Troy and Abed's relationship.

    Masterful writing, editing, and directing.

    This episode's hilarious use of a documentary format really stands out in a season that is chalk full of memorable episodes. This episode was made at a time when Community was way over budget and yet very creatively ambitious. It uses these budgetary restrictions to its advantage, giving it almost a bottle episode feel.

    I give this episode a 10/10. Not because I think it is objectively perfect, that's just how much I love it personally. Go watch it! That's all I can say.

    • Trivia
      According to a behind the scenes featurette, Community season 3 was over budget. This episode was conceived as a way to save money, as they could reuse all the props from the previous episode, and a lot of the episode would feature narration and stills, cutting down on shooting time and production costs.

      Narrator: The North Cafeteria, named after Admiral William North, is located in the western portion of East Hall, gateway to the western half of North Hall, which is named not after William North, but for its position above the south wall. It is the most contested and confusing battlefield on Greendale's campus, next to the English Memorial Spanish Center, named after English Memorial, a Portuguese sailor that discovered Greendale while looking for a fountain that cured syphilis.
