Having drained so much hilarity from the community through five previous episodes, it's incredible to think that Sammy Sagitarius' Community Clash: Episode 6 could keep from coming up dry. Call it an oasis, because the river flows on with this latest movie. While some might argue that the series' canon characters are all washed up this far into the game, Sammy proves them wrong, and still manages to tastefully throw in some new blood in one well-aimed splash.

Comparing the direction of this episode to those of the series' past would be like comparing a trickling stream to the majestic Niagara (Or, as a good portion of the cast would call it, Horseshoe) Falls. There is an amazing amount of depth in each scene, for this series at least, and we really don't realize how far things have come along unless we take another peek at the earlier installments. While we don't really drown in intense cinematography, there is enough there, and of good quality, to put this episode a head and shoulders over similar comedies.

The comedy of this episode is intense, floating in a sea full of both visual and character-based cracks. In fact, the camera movement of this episode adds a few jokes of it's own, which is a good breather for those of us who have been stretching our lungs for a while now. Sammy seems to be more hyper with his jokes and pacing than he was in earlier episodes. This was a little overwhelming, though, because, unlike most of the other episodes, #6 is clearly very story-oriented. Although the waters are a bit choppy at first, once we gain sense enough to match up the two main storylines, it's completely smooth sailing through this episode's end.

The greatest aspect of Community Clash: Episode 6 has got to be the fabulous voice acting. While Jaymond proves to be a masterful Greg Aronov, and the original cast all hit higher than average, Dick Harris' performance as Tony Teulan is nothing less than Titanic. This is to say that it's breathtaking and unbeatable, not that it's destined to sink. I was simply flabbergasted at how well Tony's lines were written, and even more so at how incredibly they were performed. I was seriously hoping for more Tonez, because even an entire episode devoted to him barely seemed to quench.

To finish, this episode is simply drenched with quality. From the writing to the performance, it seems that Sammy and his cast truly spared no expense. Gags are as plentiful as sand at the seashore and comedic timing is as dependable as the tide. While Episode 3 trumps this in sheer hilarity, quality as a whole has reached new levels in this latest flick. As another standalone story in this series, I would have no trouble believing that a newcomer to the series could enjoy this just as much as a fan faithful. On another note, I don't know if Sammy actually borrowed any of the 'Teulan footage' at the end or not, but the cinematography and animation was truly top notch for a few scenes there. Unfortunately, I'm afraid that Tony's covered that story a few too many times as it is. Perhaps his newfound lunacy will find him returning in the finale, or even the next season. This, of course, is on the condition that Dick Harris will again be the man behind the puppet show.

8.5/10
This series' level of quality reaches new bounds, and might just please those both new and old to the show
