Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe ugly and public outburst of long-running tensions between Dan Harmon and Chevy Chase peaked over the filming of "Digital Estate Planning", which was the final episode filmed for Season 3 due to the time needed to complete the extensive "1980 video game" special effects (although it was never intended to be the season finale and ended up airing as the 3rd-to-last show of the season). Dan Harmon said that he wrote a scene after the story's resolution where Abed handed Pierce Hawthorne a floppy disk to use, and Pierce was left in tears when he saw it was a computer simulation of Pierce's late, horrible father having a game of catch with his son. But Chevy Chase was tired of the delays in the shooting schedule and left the set after his final scripted scene was done, even as Harmon tried to explain this extra scene and begged him to stay and film it. Harmon later said he was so angry over Chase's actions that he over-reacted and this led to their problems becoming embarrassingly public.
- GoofsIn the last scene Troy and Abed are at Greendale. But they were expelled from Greendale at this point in the story, so they weren't allowed at Greendale.

Featured review
One of favorites of the season
What hasnt community be presented in yet? A video game m and an old on featuring my favorite villain from breaking bad, Gus!
This episode was like season 2 with its creative experimental risk taking. I love every second of it! I could have watched a season of it! It made me realvalaute some of the best cartoons and watching them.
It shows in epsufoes around here that some joke are inside jokes, like when the dean is found the one of two men in the suit who is heavy repeats that he let the school run into the ground and chang doing what he did because he was an alcoholic. I believe that was meant to be harmon as we all know he spoke to his audience through the dialogue. For e.g. pierce always getting the joke a minute later was him showing how Chevy chase is off the set and how they all laugh because he doesnt get the jokes and doesnt think they're funny.
Watching it now after learning of everything that transpired. I was able to see more into it behind the scenes. You can tell when Chevy is really not engaged or improvising. That he means it when he says hes left out or when he ran out of the trailer saying he was a star. That was really chase. But I'm not speaking poorly on his part. I dont know what really happened.
All I do know is this episode was for me one of the best! It was so comedic and the timing was just right.
I guess the rumors that Harmon was a control freak could have been true but because of that he created the most special TV I've ever seen in my life! Maybe you do have to be on top of it all because it can all go wrong in a second. I dont know one person that can look me in the eyes and rekk me season 2 wasnt fine TV,!!!
The episode was divine and reminded me out the special days filmed! Hey, I'm now going to check out Rick and Morty now afterwards because of the legend of Haroms mind!
