After a strong season one, Community came back last night with a solid performance, although there are a couple plot lines I didn't like. Lets run through the episode a little bit.
The episode covers the first day of classes at Greendale. The group needs to take a new class because Senor Chang is no longer teaching. The choice is anthropology, taught by the queen of geriatrics Betty White. This brings me to dislike number one. Aren't all the classroom scenes going to be awful in comparison to the Spanish classes of last season? Chang used to run a tight ship. He ruled with absolute power. Betty used a blow dart and drank her own urine. Old people are weird.
The rest of the episode centered around Britta becoming popular after getting shut down by Jeff in the season one finale. And here lies problem number two. I actually love Britta's character, but only when she's a buzz kill and gets made fun of. She was none of that this week, which means she was just another terrible female. Don't be smug Britta, be a nauseous killjoy.
Even with these two issues, there were plenty of laughs. Senor Chang killed in the classroom while Jeff was being serious, and Troy and Pierce also had some great moments (hit me on twittaaa). The best part of every episode remains the Troy and Abed short. Betty White joined this week, they sang a classic (Toto - Africa), and it was downright enjoyable.
