A quick review of this week's "Community" — which you can watch on Yahoo Screen — coming up just as soon as I'm here for the Such... A lot of this season has involved Dan Harmon, Chris McKenna and company — here represented by writers assistant Briggs Hatton, who not only wrote the episode but was the subject of the incest-obsessed tag — slapping new coats of paint on very familiar "Community" episode types.
