I’m such a huge fan of the show that I was incredibly grateful to have it back and enjoyed the episode tremendously, even on the third viewing. I love the setting, the jokes, and the characters, and everyone’s progression seems to follow a natural arc (even if the Dean is pretty over-the-top at this point, you can still trace that back to the end of the first season or so and it still makes me laugh every time).

This must be what Big Bang Theory fans talk about when they still love the show because they liked the way it was at the beginning. If there’s a change in quality going on, it’s subtle enough that I haven’t noticed it. The show is still very much Community, and I love it for that.

I thought this was a pretty horrible episode, but I’ve run into a handful of episodes that bad from the previous season (and I say this as someone who owns the S1 and S2 DVDs and couldn’t find a single episode that bad in those two seasons).

Specifically on the dean, I agree that amusing flirtation has turned into creepy stalking. Also, besides being obsessed with Jeff, the Dean’s only remaining character trait is dressing up like women. Oh yeah, and he was kidnapped (?!) for part of last season. And using the word “dean” a lot. Why can’t he be wacky, or incompetent, in some other way? He’s dangerously close to being a human cartoon like Chang became.

I haven’t given up yet, but I have a feeling this may be the season that “Community” fans stuff down the memory hole when talking about the show in future years.

The age difference (I’d guess she’s 10 years older than him) doesn’t really matter; it’s just that Troy acts like a little boy, which makes her seem like a predator. I did like them when the attraction between them was implicit; that felt natural. Same issue with the Dean, actually – his obsession with Jeff used to be funny back when he was dropping the occasional hint; now it’s so on-the-nose that it has ceased to be anything but creepy and predatory (seriously, why is he pursuing a guy that he knows is straight? The flirting makes sense; the blatant stalking doesn’t).
