Re-pilot: Somewhat tedious, felt slow and a bit directionless until the end, basically just a series of one-liners and quick back-and-forths, some were good, others were okay, one or two were bad. Still better than most sitcoms on TV, but if the whole show was like this I never would have watched it all. Also 'You found my Clive Owen Tumblr' was hilarious. 6/10
Introduction to Teaching: An improvement, certainly. Felt closer to season 1 than anything, which is good although the lack of Pierce to me means they'll never quite have that again. Jonathan Banks was good, although I'm not sure his character ws written all that well, although from the cartooning onward I was completely on board with his character. Some jokes did fall flat for me, like the Annie Jeff Teacher Student role-reversal, it just seemed a bit obvious and old, and the Dean learning Excel wasn't really funny enough for them to keep bringing it up. All in all, this episode was a VAST improvement on most of what Season 3 AND Season 4 had to offer. It was good to see Troy and Abed were still treated more seriously like they were in Season 4, and straying away from the bizarre ivory wig dreamatorium Inspector Spacetime weirdos that they were in Season 3. Better than the last episode 7.5/10
