The absurdity continues. I thought all the scenes with Winston and Schmidt was damn funny. The scenes with Nick and Jess felt a bit forced and I think that was the intent because they are trying to force themselves to be in love with each other because they don't really want to try with anyone else. From a writing standpoint, they are going to fail. It's better if they are apart because the dynamic is a bit weird with them as a "couple". I'm 'puzzling'. Haha.

I hope that they end the story-line involving Schmidt juggle both chicks, trying to keep them from finding out about one another. It could get old really fast. Winston trying to find a way to kill his "girlfriends" cat was somewhat humorous. I did like the punchline though when he breaks up with her and ends up keeping the cat. Curious to see if Dreama Walker and Angela Kinsey will have recurring roles. Eva Amurri Martino ftw! Have her on EVERY episode and I will be happy.

Funniest episode EVER! Where to begin? Was it Winston's ability to get and hold a table for 5 at a posh restaurant? Was it Schmidt "turning the car around" at the slowest possible speed? Was it Cece punching Nick's junk....not once, but twice? Or was it when Nick and Jess were over-sharing their secrets about the moon landing, horses from space, etc....? I laughed out loud quite a few times during this episode. Must watch again! Even though it prodivded a lot of laughs for this one, I am glad that they ended Schmidt's arc of dating both Cece and Elizabeth once and for all.

So. 'The Captain' refers to some sort of depraved sex act that Schmidt convinces Jess that it's the only thing that will get Nick off. His goal is to break them up and he figures that getting them to do something (use your imagination) will be just the trick to do that. Since we never hear exactly what it is...and of course this being TV, we never see it either, all we have left is our imagination. The only clues we get are a Pirate, racial slurs and a Spyglass. It's all meant to be a joke to force the viewer to come up with their own ideas. I couldn't. I was too busy laughing at Winston for being so oblivious to the fact that the hot blond with the cat wanted him and he still couldn't see it. Overall a very funny episode.

Marginally funny. A few chuckles throughout the episode, but I found Schmidt to be really annoying in this one, more so than in previous. He just wouldn't let up with trying to get people to confirm that he was a "good guy". Ack! Jon Lovitz has a cameo, which was okay. Marty Ingels also had a cameo and it really took me by surprised in how much he has aged over the years. Does not look good at all. Yikes!

Keaton loved this episode, but Clooney, Kilmer and Bale hated it. No word yet on what Affleck thought about this though. West didn't know about this as he doesn't have a TV anymore. Schmidt throwing that broom into the wall was a one in a million shot, unless it was a Special FX, but FOX is cheap and wouldn't pay for that. So, one in a million it is.

What an unusual bit of turn around. With the news that Damon Wayans Jr. was back for this episode, I thought it was a bit of stunt casting to have the original 3rd roommate make an appearance on the show he ends up bailing on for another show (Happy Endings). Little did I know prior to watching Coach, that this is actually a "long-term" addition to the show, now that the show he original left for is now cancelled. Did you follow all that? Yeah, neither did I. Anyway, I thought this episode was entertaining and Taye Diggs was funny as well. As for the rooming situation, it looks like Coach will be rooming with Schmidt since he moved out on his own in the previous episode.
