No, that was a different park. I think it was actually in Eagleton before the show decided Eagleton was terrible. At the end of that episode, Leslie filled in the pit, but it was still an empty lot. I don't think a park was ever built.

I can't tell how much I really loved these episodes, and how much was just the intense, almost meth-like high that comes from watching new Parks and Rec. But I thoroughly enjoyed A LOT.

Breaking news interrupted the last 10 or so minutes of this episode, so I'm surprised to see that this episode isn't the end of Castleroy. Even if things aren't exactly looking great for him.

Yeah, that's a good point. The cocky manchild who gets away with it because he's still so great at his job is one of my least favorite tropes. But they've really done a great job fleshing out Jake, and although he's still not one of my favorites, that says more about how amazing some of the other characters are than…

I liked both Jim/Pam and Ben/Leslie a lot. With Jim/Pam, a lot of the "magic" was lost once they actually got together, but my love for Ben/Leslie is still going strong. However, I have to agree on Jake/Amy. It's not that I don't like them, but I just don't care. And I kind of resent the idea that we have to have…

I think she was very briefly present when Francis returned with Lola, cooing over the baby. I missed her a bit, but it makes sense that she didn't get more to do. I'm not sure where else she'd have fit in.

Catherine and Nostradamus' odd friendship is one of my favorite little relationships on the show, so the betrayal both of them (but especially Catherine) felt in this episode really came through. Nostradamus as an individual, however, still feels a little iffy, so I'm not overly upset that he's leaving for a bit.

My roommate sat down and watched this episode with me, and asked me several times if it was "the actress from Game of Thrones". She was insistent.

Yeah, I'm hoping (probably against hope) that they won't use the daughter's death to somehow transition back to Leith/Greer and make Lord Castleroy look awful. Leith started off really sweet, but the way he acted in the finale really soured me on him. And I'm a sucker for the unpleasant-seeming marriage of convenience…

I marathoned season 1 over the hiatus, and was more excited for this premiere than almost everything else. It didn't disappoint, although as always there were elements I'm already sick of (I just wanted to fast-forward through most of the Lola and Francis sideplot).

I think she said something like "Are you sure about this?" before he started, suggesting it was almost entirely or entirely his idea. Which pretty much fits how I see the characters.
