Community – It’s about time study group just devolved into a big orgy

I love Allison Brie. As much as I adore her on Mad Men, it’s so nice to see her in a bigger role on Community. Her role as hopelessly naive Annie is so perfect, that it makes me want to lock myself in my room and write love letters in my diary. While having her fall for Vaughn (aka “Micro Nipples”) came a little bit out of left field, it paved the way for some truly important revelations: everyone in study group wants to do it to each other. Except for Pierce. Nobody wants to do it to Pierce.

As wonderful as Annie’s crush on Vaughn was to watch, I’m Team Troy, so watching him mack on her, only to be cruelly rejected, hurt. Luckily for Troy, even though Annie may have brushed him aside (for now), he still has Abed, his other half.

Abed, as it turns out, is not exclusive to Troy. He waggled his eyebrows at just about everyone at the study group table when they were all contemplating each other as sexual partners. The funniest pairings? Annie and Britta’s longing looks at each other, and Troy’s “yeah, I could see it” at Shirley.

Here’s what worried me though: was it just me, or did Jeff and Annie’s looks at each other linger just a little bit too long? Sure, they kissed during the debate, and as a dude, Jeff understands that Annie is hot, but I really liked the fact that he realized that she’s 18, and anything happening between them would be completely inappropriate. It was nice that as big of a sleazeball as Jeff is, he drew the line there. If they back off from that, I’m going to be very sad– unless it happens in season 4 or something.

It’s great that the writers have worked on making Britta more relatable lately, instead of just the stand-offish bitch she was at the beginning of the season. For the first time, I’m actually rooting for her and Jeff to get together, although their friendship is working quite well right now.

At this point, we’ve had a love interest for everyone on the show other than Shirley and Abed. While I doubt they’d end up together, I’d love to see these two get a little more action on the show. Shirley needs someone to make her feel young and alive again, and Abed, well, Abed needs Troy in a wig. Which I’m sure could be arranged.
