This timeline is kinda sad because everything starts out great for everyone and then it all falls apart and everyone is bitter towards each other. All because Abed left. LOL
Point of this timeline: Abed's detachment from "reality" prevents people from reaching each other's TRUE colors. In the end they learn more about each other, both good and bad. Without Abed, their relationships cannot continue as they are because they learn TOO MUCH about one another.
@ScrappySuper91 I think that comment was slightly over exaggerating the posters desire to see something substantial happen between Jeff and Annie. Sex is a little too far for their relationship on screen because of the nature of their relationship, but I do agree that I am excited for something substantial to happen.
Much like Troy's timeline being symbolic of disaster, I think Abed's timeline is symbolic of misery. The group would be miserable and bitter without Abed in it. And he's the only one happy in this scene. Heehee.
This is not the real timeline. The main timeline is the prime reality one where Abed catches the dice. Even Dan Harmon has stated this. The episode switch is what has caused all these timeline speculations. While it would have been awesome had this been a clever twist at the end of the season, I'm more than happy enough to enjoy the concept and laugh at the consequences of each timeline than to speculate endlessly.
@SGuyQST That still doesn't solve the problem of how 303 references the Eartha Kitt thing AND Shirley knowing Britta is a stoner. Those two things didn't happen in the prime timeline.
What aired as episode 3, is actually the 4th episode of the 3rd season that they produced. They 3rd episode they had planned was the timeline episode which wasn't finalised. So while the show aired it 4th, it is actually chronologically happens before the Todd episode. People are overthinking the deepness of this episode switch.
The link I posted doesn't seem to work now, so just go to danharmon.tumblr.com and read the article,
Sorry just realised what you meant. Shirley found out about Britta's drug thing in Abed's timeline and Pierce mentioned Eartha Kitt in all timelines except the main one. Well, I think it's just a goof in continuity. Or it still could have been revealed later on in the party but not actually shown and we are to assume the case.
@SGuyQST I know, I read Dan Harmon's tumblr. I just don't think he really addressed the issue at hand. It is a goof. And there's really no reason to complain, except that it's just the one flaw in a really, absolutely phenomenal episode. Probably the best thing I've ever seen on Community
@anyicitag its kinda hinted it is, with the nickel finding and Shirley knowing about her "dope lighter" and its suggested this happens before episode 3, but I think that's just for fans to notice tbh
YOU GODLESS, HIPPIE-SKANK!!

This can't be the real timeline. The episode switch is causing all the confusion. The prime timeline has to be the one where Abed catches the die.

I have to find a way to say that in real life somehow.
