As a big-time Office fan, it's been painful to watch the show decline after the Jim & Pam wedding and baby. The one thing that has helped replace that need for comedy is Community, and I wasn't disappointed with the season finale.
"Modern Warfare" (aka The Paintball Episode) was maybe one of the 10 best sitcom episodes of all time, so it's a high bar to set for the last two episodes.
On its own merit, this was a funny episode with moments that made me laugh out loud (the Dean shortening the name of the Transfer Dance to the Tranny Dance, two Dalmatian furries pulling Chang off of a drunken John Oliver, Troy and Pierce at the end, Troy realizing his friendship with Abed is like a 5-foot wide cookie) and the required love triangle that took an unexpected turn, but not without foundation (see Debate 109 and more hints throughout the season).
I give it a 9 out of 10, but I'd give Modern Warfare a 15 out of 10. This show gives me something to love about NBC Thursdays now that my beloved Dunder Mifflin gang is on the decline. Hopefully Season 2 can improve on what was a remarkable first season compared to other Season 1s of past sitcoms.
