Pretty good episode.. One of the more successful high-concept episodes they've done recently.

Agreed. Four out of five meows from me. 

Could've done without the Zardoz outfit on Starburns, but I suppose someone had to wear it and it makes an uncomfortable amount of sense for it to have been him...

For all that I adore Community, I couldn't help thinking that this episode was a bit "been there, done that." The jokes in the episode were hilarious, but it seemed pretty well-worn territory, even if they haven't made this specific homage before.

This episode was good IMI. It was entertaining, I enjoyed it. Not up there with the best or community but I did enjoy it.

I wouldn't put it with "Modern Warfare" or "Advanced Dungeons & Dragons" either, but I agree, it's definitely one of the best of the season.  I'd probably put it second behind "Cooperative Polygraphy".

Boom! http://uproxx.com/webculture/2015/09/yelp-for-people-app/

 

Two women, Nicole McCullough and Julia Cordray, are developing an app called "Peeple," which purports to be "Yelp for people," or "Yelp meets LinkedIn." The app, which will supposedly be launching in late November, ostensibly lets users rate anyone from an ex to a neighbor based on a five star review system.
