At one point, a survivor approaches another in the open and appeals for sanctuary. The other person turns around, points at the first and gives out an alien scream used by the pod people in the movie.<br /><br />Which fits in the slow conversion going from one other another where each becomes gleeful and a pod person.<br /><br />-bGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6678481478994191244.post-42813351742246649482011-12-19T11:08:14.430-05:002011-12-19T11:08:14.430-05:00@John - You know, I hadn't really thought abou...@John - You know, I hadn't really thought about the idea of the study group accumulating enemies before, but you're seriously right about that. I really like the idea that each study group member has an adversary that is outside of the study group. And I love that storytelling method that Harmon has constructed.<br /><br />@Greg - Thank you so much for reading! One of my good friends is in law school currently so I know how stressed she is about exams. I'm honored that you took time out of your schedule to read. :)<br /><br />@Avecia - The Troy and Abed rap had me dying of laughter. Still probably my favorite musical moment from the episode (save for the ending). I do really love everything about the methods by which the group was enticed. I definitely think it speaks to their individual characters. Thank you for reading!<br /><br />@Ben - Seriously honored that you put me in the same category as Sepinwall! Thank you for reading and I hope that you enjoy. :)Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11696902354009598893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6678481478994191244.post-40862221111875640962011-12-17T21:40:50.186-05:002011-12-17T21:40:50.186-05:00Your episode reviews are fantastic.

I'm going to make them either my 1st or 2nd stop in reading about this brilliant series, depending on how quickly Alan Sepinwall posts to HitFix.com.Bennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6678481478994191244.post-2630544192625829612011-12-12T15:38:09.311-05:002011-12-12T15:38:09.311-05:00I adore this recap, mostly because it's making...I adore this recap, mostly because it's making me want to watch this episode again.<br /><br />I fully agree that Shirley's luring was absolutely perfect and I am still stunned at what a wonderful singer Yvette is. And the way Chevy played that scene as Pierce was so understated and really quite wonderfully genuine. I want me a Pierce to keep!<br /><br />As for how Jeff was enticed I honestly think it was something entirely non-sexual in the end that did it - but I can't wait to see if we'll find out.<br /><br />I think my favourite part of the episode was the Abed/Troy rap - I didn't catch any of the spoiler tid-bits that came out before the show aired so that was such a great surprise. Troy is my absolute favourite.<br /><br />Thank you for taking the time to recap this for us all :)Aveciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13481052909216322161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6678481478994191244.post-522076552211994552011-12-11T21:10:10.502-05:002011-12-11T21:10:10.502-05:00My first law school exam is on Wednesday.

Thanks for such detailed and insightful recaps of my favorite show (and, more importantly, for a wonderful way to procrastinate)!

The study group has been accumulating enemies throughout the season: Annie Kim, Todd, Vice-Dean Laybourne, Professor Kane, and of course their evil counterpart's from Troy's timeline. :-) I think we'll see many of these new characters (well, not the evil counterparts) return to make life hard for the study group.<br /><br />Also, I mentioned this on Twitter last night, but the clock really reminds me a lot of Harmon's storytelling embryoes (as discussed in <a href="http://www.wired.com/magazine/2011/09/mf_harmon/all/1" rel="nofollow">this Wired article</a>. If you look at that clock as an embryo describing one overarching story spanning four seasons, then we're precisely at the sixth step: "pay a heavy price for it." That fits nicely with Jeff's observation that it's been a dark semester, the accumulation of enemies, and the recurring motif of alternative, evil versions of themselves. Not to mention the hiatus. In fact, it almost makes me wonder if the hiatus is in fact a weird storytelling gimmick.Johnhttp://jheaton.livejournal.com/noreply@blogger.com
