S06.E10: Basic RV Repair and Palmistry

[formerlyfreedom]

While on a road trip to get rid of a Greendale artifact, Abed turns a situation into a feature film.

This was a return to Britta being nothing but the butt of jokes. But to be fair, Gillian Jacobs is good at it.

 

Otherwise it was a good solid character-based episode. It won't be one of my favorites, but there were lots of interactions and most of the characters felt right. And yes, it doesn't really make sense that all of them would go on the trip (even just for labor you'd pick other people). But that's why I said it's a character episode, not a plot one.

This was a bit weird, but the flashback from the future was a nice payoff for all the flashback meta stuff.

This one was funny. It would have been hilarious with a little more tightening up, but as I rant after every single episode, this new slightly longer time frame is doing nobody any favors. In general it did feel like a decent pre-Yahoo episode. Could have used a little more physical slapstick to pad out some of the "sitting in an RV waiting for the plot to move" banter, though. They should have brought Chang with them.

Oh, the humanity.

 

I realize that things are different now, but the difference is too great, not enough of a lead in time.  It's too jarring.

The tag took a very dark turn.  It went quickly for me.  I always like the Jeff/Abed push and pull of reality v. TV.

I loved the tag a lot.

 

Other than that, it was an enjoyable episode, reasonably strong, but the AV Club review was definitely on the money about how the sensibilities of the sixth season are largely only Jeff's and Abed's.

I felt like it was another "Abed doesn't have a good grasp on reality" episode.. I was flashing back to the claymation christmas episode and feeling pretty meh. I actually liked the Abed parts the most but disliked Jeff's ranting about it. I just imagine what it could have been if Troy were in it.

 

Which pretty much sums up Season 6.. how would Troy have made this better? Answer: In all the ways.

This was a return to Britta being nothing but the butt of jokes. But to be fair, Gillian Jacobs is good at it.

I keep wondering if they are going to pay off the running plot thread about Britta being a mess this season (broke, frequently drunk or high) but nothing so far.

I do like Frankie and Elroy more and more in these episodes. Elroy's annoyance of the group in his RV and wasting it's battery and the way Frankie handled Abed.

Future Britta stepping into the frame at the end and doing that ridiculous "we did it!" Fist pump was all i needed.
