While I love this show and always enjoy it, I have to be honest by saying that this episode didn’t do it for me. It very much felt like the show trying too hard to capture the magic of the first three seasons and in my opinion it didn’t really work. I appreciate them bringing back Dungeons and Dragons and the Dean hugging Jeff while being fake stabbed is one of the funniest scenes from the season, but I just couldn’t get into it. There was one key aspect missing from this episode, and that was Pierce. Now I know Chevy Chase had left the show already and Pierce was killed off, but to me what worked so well about the first Dungeons and Dragons episode was Pierce taking the role of the villain by antagonizing Neil and the Study Group for deliberately leaving him out. There really isn’t an antagonist in this episode. Both Hickey and his son are so obnoxious that it’s honestly kind of hard to root for either of them. The original episode had a clear cut goal for our characters and that was to make a lonely and depressed kid feel welcomed. Hickey and his son are both openly antagonistic to our characters as well as each other so I honestly didn’t really care how the outcome was resolved. I won’t take anything away from the people who love this episode, but without Pierce and a story that made me want to see these characters succeed, it just felt pretty hollow.

2021-10-29 10:25:36 This episode's a frustratingly underrated gem for me. It gets lost in the discussion because, yes, of course, it's not as good as the first D&D episode - what is? But just like the paintball episodes, this embraces the story mechanics of the original while telling a completely new story, and I disagree with the sentiment that this is somehow a weakness of the episode. No one would ever be a better Big Bad than Pierce, so having the players fight amongst themselves was a smart new direction. I just don't know how a human being can see the scene of Hickey interrogating Abed and Abed, and still dismiss this episode as bad or unoriginal. But anyway, since you all do seem to enjoy the D&D premise, I was wondering if you would ever consider, be it by poll win or by EP sponsor, reacting to a proper D&D series? Something like Dimension20 or HarmonQuest are pretty accessible gateways.
