Having John Kruk show up would probably be one of the only ways to get me to watch The Office next season.

Leslie and Ben's future
What worries me more than the wan smile at the end of "Li'l Sebastian" is how the two of them managed to so royally fuck up the memorial ceremony. I mean, this is Leslie Knope we're talking about, who basically single-handedly organized an event attended by 80,000 people, and who P&R has

Even though it's still in pre-production
I submit for early consideration Isla Fisher, who's been cast in Baz Luhrmann's Gatsby as Myrtle Wilson, a woman whose face Nick Carraway describes as having "no facet or gleam of beauty." Um, right.

The comment from Chris about Ben being into tall brunettes was interesting because it reminded me that we really know very little about Ben aside from his past as Boy Mayor/Ice Clown. It was a subtle way of getting in a tidbit about a personal life that we otherwise have heard nothing about. I hope they do more

Jim O'Heir said this line perfectly - you could hear a hint of eager giddiness, like Jerry had been practicing and waiting to say this line for a long time.

Ahh…that's basically the only reason I still watch The Office. For the very slight chance that there will be another Jack Coleman guest spot.

I think the beauty of this episode was that there were a ton of these "seeds" planted, which in any other sitcom would have led up to someone being left at the altar. We've been conditioned to think that TV weddings rarely happen, so we were looking for the clues - and they were there, but in the end, they all

The wedding was revealed during The Office (the promo showed the scene with Leslie in the kitchen with Andy and April), and I was PISSED. They completely ruined the surprise for me. I wish I had just watched Parks and Rec before The Office, but I wanted to get it out of the way.

I don't know if it was intentional or it had just been a long day for Amy Poehler, but I loved this little touch of realism - it sounded like she'd truly been out in the cold, fresh air (and talking very loudly) for hours, maybe inhaling too much campfire smoke. Whether it was in the script or not, it put a smile on

I want to want Leslie and Ben to get together
but it just seems forced to me. I can't buy it, as hard as I try because I love both actors and their characters. Maybe it's because Amy Poehler was so very pregnant for the first part of the season and it was too weird to try and picture her as a single gal love
