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!
