BoJack Horseman: Fish Out of Water (2016)
Unique
This is such a unique episode. After watching the whole series I had to go back to this episode, which still stands as my favorite (as much as I love Free Churro, Time's Arrow, The View From Halfway Down, Ruthie, etc). I've never seen such a real representation of how it feels to not be heard, to try your best to communicate, to scream for help and forgiveness without anyone noticing. It's the perfect representation of what Bojack Horseman is: a series that contains incredible humor (especially the ending of this episode) while also facing really deep and difficult matters. This series never fails to impress me with its realistic portrait of the human condition and the struggles that people have to face to be loved, heard and accepted. From a technical side this episode uses a very peculiar narrative style: episodes and films with few to none spoken words have to challenge the fact that they have to still communicate emotions and keep the public entertained. Well, this episode does this perfectly with its pace and subplot, with the colorful animation but especially with Jesse Novak's incredible score. Plus the note that Bojack unsuccessfully gives to Kelsey contains one of my favorite quotes from the whole series. Great shows always have to take risks and I think this episodes proves how amazing Bojack Horseman is.
Community: Remedial Chaos Theory (2011)
Just wow
I'm so happy I'm living in the timeline where this episode exists. This is one of the most inventive, creative and fun episodes of television out there and I'm not talking about comedies only. Remedial Chaos Theory takes a classic sci-fi theme, the multiverse, and transforms it into an original piece of comedy. The great thing about this is that it's an episode that not only plays as a concept one but also makes us understand more about the group dynamics and their personalities and it does that by repeating the same 2 minutes in alternate realities. Taking out one person of the group can make things a lot different and can make us see the impact that everyone has on it, for better or worse. I loved how "the darkest timeline" is the one where Troy isn't there, not only is a good play on the fact that this may all be in Abed's mind but it also show how important he is to the group.
I also loved the fact that they used Roxanne to mark the beginning of each timeline, it's a great homage (I think) to Groundhog Day.
Nice job Community!
Community: Modern Warfare (2010)
Community at its best
When I first started watching Community, I wasn't sure wheter or not I wanted to continue. I liked the humor, the characters and settings were interesting and I could see that it wasn't your typical sit com but I still thought that the show hadn't found its voice yet. I know that this is the case for lot of brilliant series, especially comedies where you have to get used to the humor (it was the same with the first season of The Office and I ended up loving it), so I kept watching. The second half of the season started to get better until this episode. THIS is where Community becomes Community (and by it I mean amazing) and finds its true identity, this is the game changer. If you are not 100% sure on wheter or not to keep watching then this episode will make up your mind.
Modern Warfare contains the classical meta-humor and it's a wonderfully realized parody of post apocalyctic and action movies. It starts with a normal cold open where it's announced that Greendale will have a paintball fight with some huge prize that is still unknow. As Jeff wakes up from a nap, he founds the school empty and wrecked a la 28 Days Later and then there are some interesting (and fun) twists and turns.
I'm not giving this episode a 10 just because I know there will be some more good stuff coming up.
