Community Clash Season 1 Episode 3

Reviewed by Jason Meckes

In Community Clash: Episode 3 by Sammy Sagitarius, the gang meet up with longtime community big shot Jon Sapone. This installment is one of my favorites through the entire series. While questionably pointless, it does it's job in explaining what was happening at the end of Episode 2, and how the gang are going to get to Episode 4. What more do you really need?

The direction in this movie is of much better quality than the last installment, and, in my opinion, the first as well. While the angles might be boring, moving cameras nonexistent, and cinematography bland, this episode definitely has.... well, nothing in terms of direction going for it. But that's not to say that it's poorly constructed or thought out… not at all! The nonmoving scenes tell all that they need to, and everything else falls neatly into place. I honestly had no major complaints in this department, but it still has a whole lot of room for improvement.

The jokes abound in this episode. In fact, I found myself laughing out loud at a number of spots. The Andres-soup bowl bit is probably the highlight of the entire series for me; it was just so golden and delicious. The advent of Jon Sapone was handled so slickly that it was actually kind of humorous itself. Little stabs and community jokes abound, but the Pikios dinner scene is probably the greatest of the elbow-nudges in this episode. And great it was, great it was.

The voice acting for this episode was also a highlight. Most every line was spot-on. In fact, I went looking for who played Jon Sapone, but I couldn't find the name in the credits or attached texts. Either way, voices were of much better quality than the last episode. The voices, however, only compliment the incredible writing. Each character's lines were either hilarious, suiting to the character, or good for story purposes. Most of the lines, however, grab two or three of those qualities and run like mad. Again, I was rather impressed.

Overall, Episode 3 is the best yet, and a personal favorite of mine. The jokes were far from predictable, and the interaction trumped the last two installments for sheer viewer interest. I think I actually cared about what was going to, and did, happen in this episode, which hints very strongly that the series is developing extremely well.

8.5/10
Many great jabs and laughs to be had, possibly the best of the series
