Banks. I never saw that coming.

The fourth season was not bad at all.

@1 - Ha ha ha ha ha. Well played.

@2 - it was by far the worst of the series, but you are right in that it was still not bad if you're counting all of TV.

It just didn't have the charm that is so VERY clearly present in these first two episodes of season 5. When they take Jeff's scotch away from him, that was the moment where it hit me: Community is back.

Also when Abed referred to Jean Claude Van Damme as the good kind of bad and Johnny Depp as the bad kind of good, I fucking died.

@2 - I didn't think it was as bad as everyone else seemed to either. But then I watched the first 2 episodes of 5 and they really did feel like a bit of a breath of fresh air. They inspired me enough to go download the first few seasons - I'm near the end of the 1st season now and god damn, it's a dramatic difference in quality between seasons 1 and 4.

I'm surprised they got Chevy to even do his super short cameo in the opener. It's sad - he's so good in season 1.

Best part so far, Troy, on Zach Braff only appearing in the first 6 episodes of the Scrubs reboot: "Damn him, after every thing Scrubs did for him!" - I'm so going to miss Troy!
