Studies in modern movement

Studies in modern movement is probably one of the best episodes of #Community

After watching it a few times over the last couple of years, I came to the realization that Jeff wasn't being selfish, he was going through something big and needed to be alone. Remember this episode comes after Pierce's dad dies following an argument with Jeff and this seems to have an effect on him. For example, the girl at the shop was throwing herself at him and he didn't follow through (so not like him). At the end he's crying over the death of a make believe horse. Jeff was going through serious crap. When he has the argument with the dean after the karaoke song, it's because the dean read the email he wrote to his therapist about being alone. They do it as such a throwaway line but it's pretty big. If you haven't noticed it, watch it again. It's deep and shows you how broken some people are and they pretend not to be. One really never knows what someone is going through, so let's try to be kind all the time. Hats off to the writers.
