Community: Ranking Every Season Finale Worst To Best

1. For A Few Paintballs More (Season Two)

You can never go wrong with a good old fashioned paintball episode, and this is one of the most exciting. Seeing Greendale get wrecked by paintballs in season one was an utter highlight, so the next time the school met paint, it needed to be bigger and better. Thankfully, this two-parter pulled out all the stops to be fun, bombastic and oddly touching.

In this second part of the second paintball tournament, the orchestrator of the competition is revealed to be Dean Spreck of City College, hell-bent on tearing Greendale apart. To save the school from utter destruction, the gang take on the role of the Rebel Alliance and fight back to get the prize money and fix Greendale.

Seeing Community finally take on a Star Wars parody was destined for success, as in the words of Abed, "I wish it happened sooner". Abed taking on the role of Han was hilarious, the conflict between Troy and Jeff was clever, and it took every opportunity to give supporting characters the spotlight.

But, the highlight of the outing was the final redemption of Pierce and the climax, which saw him swear off the study group. Of course, this wouldn't last long, but it was still very poignant.
