“Side note, I might legit be into Tahani!”

It’s pitch-perfect. Motherfucker has the BEST reactions. 

She switches to being hyper-competent, if absurdly well-meaning. She can be overwhelming but it’s with love, not selfishness and cringe. It’s a complete shift. 

They all had great arcs

It’s interesting comparing Ben to Mark, who was intended as the romantic lead originally. Mark was intended to be the straight man, but they overdid it and made him boring.

What makes Ben an improvement is that he has his own quirks, even if he’s not as obvious about them as Leslie is. Fans can even name them without

I though Eleanor & Chidi were fine but I preferred Chidi with Simone and Eleanor with Tahani 

Parks & Rec ABSOLUTELY becomes Mike Schur’s baby and early on, that’s not up for debate. Daniels largely moved onto other things. Season 1 was almost functionally an Office clone; Schur is what led to the sweetness rather than cynicism.

Jake and Amy also started to take a little bit of each other into themselves; like Amy would get a little more loose and Jake would actually read books.

Ann, that noble, poetic land-mermaid 

And, sure enough, the show’s quality starts to decline exactly when Jim & Pam got together. 

The episode with the skating rink is the one I keep coming back to. Both the A plot and the B plot - with Ben getting depressed and making a claymation - are perfect. “Together we can defeat obese children” might be the best line in the series.

He’s an actor, not a political analyst. He doesn’t have to endorse candidates and people really shouldn’t care if he does. But he also doesn’t have to loudly announce that he is staying out of it if that’s what he wants to do. If you don’t want to say anything, then just don’t say anything. Don’t announce that you

remaster now Paramount! make it a paramount plus exclusive at first, release the eps weekly and when it’s done box set blu ray. PEOPLE WILL PAY FOR IT.

For me, it’s also the movie where Nat emerged as a person. Up till then, it was a very prototypical “Badass woman can’t be bothered with human emotions” characterization. Her friendship and work relationship with Steve here gave her much more dimension and humanity than she had in her prior appearances as “hot gun

Winter Soldier is SO good and watching it in-time with Agents of SHIELD was a truly wild ride. That shift was also incredible.

I agree but stan for Endgame as well. But Endgame was only so good because it was a payoff for the long story before it. WS is the best because it stands mostly on it’s own. As much as any MCU project can be considered on it’s own...

The best of all the marvel movies.
