Donald Glover is done with the show and so am I. With no Troy and no Pierce (yes I know Chevy Chase was a HUGE dikk-head) the show really loses the luster that made it great in the first place, and that's ALL of the group together. I'll probably marathon the entire season 5 after it's finished the season at some point but I'm not in any hurry
You're already losing. These two eps were like the show never fell off in the first place, and Chevy wasn't missed AT ALL.

DG is in it for 5/12 eps, too.

Yeah, I was really impressed with how they were able to reset everything and get the group back together.

Abed doing his Nicolas Cage impression was hilarious.

Troy giving Shirley the :yeshrug:when she said she lost all those Bones episodes.

I watched like 4 eps from season 4 which were all terrible. Thankfully it doesn't look like it matters for this season.
Def did not miss pierce what so ever. After a while I felt they were forcing his story line a bit
The big test of this season is when Troy bounces. He's one of my favorite characters and I'm not sure how the show could survive without him and abed's chemistry

man Pierce was my favorite on the show. im still mad he aint on there...i'd love to get another scene with his dad and the elephant tusk hairline

Troy is useless anyway..look at the Nick Cage episode...Abed was still Abed while Troy was seated with the rest of the class...i just wonder how they write him out

had to love the Scrubs/Braff/Glover/Community parallel joke even tho they showed it in the previews

I think one way they might go is to have Troy decide to find himself on his own away from Abed. When Jeff was talking about each of the members being worse off from when they started, and mentioned how Troy was basically the sidekick of Abed.

"Do you guys feel weird doing this without.... Magnitude.":deadrose:

and Troy banging on the table calling dude from scrubs a son of a bytch for leaving after the first few episodes was hilarious. I'm pissed Gambino's leaving. He became the funniest character after season 3.

"Can I be a surprise witness? Wait, don't tell me.":ohhh::russ:classic

The Troy and abed pairing did more harm than good for the Troy character overall. Losing the arrogant jock aspect of himself left him as simply Abed's dumb sidekick. I would've like to see him interact more with the other characters than just relying on the crutch on Troy and Abed most of the time. They dropped the ball on his story with Britta in season 4. The relationship had been teased since season 1 then they just ignored it and dropped it. I feel he was the most underused character in a way.

tbh i wont really miss troy. hes become too dependent on abed and doesnt really bring anything to the show

abed, annie and jeff are the people who cant leave. If any of them do then the show would flop

Good episodes. I completely forgot about Pierce until they mentioned it. I hate that Donald Glover is leaving, but I'm starting to think it wont really make that much of a difference. Troy's role is pretty minor outside of the Abed relationship like others have said. His character has been very under utilized.

I thought they did a really good in the homage to serial killer flicks like Seven and Zodiac. The dark mood, it constantly raining, multiple suspects, and a bunch of stuff I'm sure I didn't notice.

Funniest moment to me were Troy reacting to the ass-crack bandit with Abed getting with a blanket and something to drink because that's what they do in the movies.

When he rolled in the wheelchair and confronted Starburns slapping him :dead:

Goodbye pierce.
Funny ep though. The best lines. I have heartburn. That does not help me solve crime.
If you want to make trouble you should work for parker bros.
