Troy hasn't been a jock since episode 4 or 5. They jettisoned that part of his character awfully fast, to take advantage of Daniel Glover's nerdiness. And Britta's development has been great -- from a strong lead "heroine" counterpoint to Jeff, she's become a person who is pretty much always stridently wrong. You Britta'd that review.
I'm not saying they're all bad. I'm just saying that it's like they took one aspect of the character and just made them that one thing.
My point on Troy was that he used to say silly things here and there, but now they have him basically believing childlike things and borderline retarded at times.
Just like Pierce who was always kind of the crotchety old man with racial/sexist undertones, and he blew up into a full on racist a-hole. Now, that could be partly Chevy's fault IRL, but his character is now solely what used to be only a part of Pierce.
I do agree with Abed/Troy being the lynchpin to the show though. That relationship seems to make/break a lot of the group's actions and reactions. That kind of exploded last year with episodes like the Pillow Fight and whatnot.
As for the writers/new show-head, I'll give them more than one episode before I say that things are too different or that they don't get Abed. I am hopeful that they'll do well.

Yeah. First episodes were never Harmon's strong suit either. I think there were good and bad signs about the future of the show. But even Zombie Community is better than most things on TV. The one thing the show does have going for it is that it still has one of the strongest ensemble casts on TV.
Though I would like to see them use their supporting characters a bit more. Fat Neal made an appearance, but had no dialog. Leonard had a line that fell flat. Less Chang, more Leonard.

I felt this premier fell a little flat as well. But I'm chalking it up to my homerism towards Dan Harmon coring my experience. I hope they don't leave Abed in this coma-like personality the entire season, he's best when he's commenting on the others actions/motivations.
I'm glad most of us have taken the position of "wait it out, see what happens, we'll always love this thing we're invested so much of ourselves in." Reminds me of the west wing arguments, ie seasons 1-4 and 5-7. Still great, but different.
