Trivia / Community S3 E03: Competitive Ecology

• Out of Order: Shirley recognizing Britta's marijuana lighter and Pierce revealing he had sex with Eartha Kitt both refer to events in alternative timelines of the next episode to air, "Remedial Chaos Theory". This introduces a little Fridge Logic when you remember that the events that allowed both of these things to happen never happened in the 'real' timeline of the previous episode, but both can be easily explained as having happened differently at some point between episodes anyway. Or, if you prefer more of a Mind Screw, the Word of God-debunked but still popular theory that what we think is the 'real' timeline isn't the real timeline...
  • To be fair, everyone likely knows or has assumed by now that Britta smokes marijuana, so Shirley could have just been making an assumption. Similarly, given Pierce's eagerness to latch on to any flimsy excuse to bring up his Eartha Kitt story, it's not hard to imagine that he just told everyone at a different opportunity.
  • The DVD release changed the episode order back to the originally planned one.
