Solid episode, holds up just fine with previous seasons

Decent but feels like a missed opportunity

Don't worry. If there is one thing Germans don't do, it's hold a grudge.

&quot;Alternative History of the German Invasion&quot; is for the most part a pretty good episode but it&apos;s not all I -and probably many other people- were hoping for.

For one, I personally found myself having a hard time laughing at the German puns and the Germans themselves hardly have any funny moments. The &quot;twist&quot; at the end was actually very cool, well done and made up for some things i wasn&apos;t comfortable with during the episode. My favorite parts of the episode were probably the scenes with the dean and Chang and it&apos;ll be interesting to see how that continues. Finally, i think it&apos;s quite disappointing that Malcolm McDowell has so little screen time and hardly any funny lines. Teachers have often been a highlight of the show and it feels like they hardly tried with his character.

While it has several good moments, particularly during the &quot;war&quot; montage, the episode just isn&apos;t everything it could have been. I&apos;ll let other people discuss the reasons for this, though.
