Ben in general makes me happy. Couldn't let the show end without setting the standard for all men and husbands finally, once and for all, impossibly high.

That's true - and, actually, I don't think they even had any confessionals in the last episode. I like how they just committed to their universe.

Also for fucks sake NBC, you had 17 hours of The Voice last night, you couldn't give Parks and Rec a slightly extended finale?

That made it okay that Rob Lowe was really only back for one scene, because he managed to distill everything about his character in that single line anyway.

Hang on so this is an actual Kickstarter? That just went from pretty cool to flat out amazing.

I even liked it better when he at least had it in a ponytail in the flashbacks.

Hey now, that's at least one more commercial they could have aired promoting The Slap without explaining what that show is about, who's on it, or why I should watch.

I didn't dream the Cones of Dunshire commercial smack in the middle of the real commercials, right? Either way, props to NBC on that one, because I was watching the rest of the commercial breaks like a hawk.

When the credits started I realized I'd been holding my breath the entire time.

I did love how Betty White didn't even bother doing a silly accent.

Or…less clips. They could show an anniversary clip show anytime, but with that group of people in the same room, the tease of the live sketches they could have done was almost cruel.

Sorry…it's just I realized that it could, in fact, get worse.

…or they'll just be forced to double down on "Watch Jimmy Fallon and a random celebrity remind you that this thing from the 90s exists!" headlines.

Just think about the fact that his last year is the one before the election year.

I loved Speed Racer until I realized that every single shot was a close-up, and I haven't been able to get through it since without feeling claustrophobic.

She's basically the first woman on this show to actively come out with a stance against being fridged.

Laurel actually works weirdly well with anyone the show doesn't want to put her with. Felicity/Laurel? Hilarious. Roy/Laurel? Bizarrely poignant. Diggle/Laurel? A ship I didn't know I needed. But stick Laurel with Oliver or Lance or even Sarah and she immediately becomes the worst thing about the show.

True, but they did hit a tipping point where they realized they had too many strong, compelling female characters and started killing them off, so I wouldn't mind balancing that out with Sin instead of, say, DJ League of Assassins.

And Danielle Panabaker came out of the Disney stable, there's no way she's actually as bad as her drunk singing.

Leslie being a thousand percent supportive of Ben was one of the best things this show has ever done. It's not that this reaction was surprising, per se, but she has been self-centered and kind of awful often enough that jealousy would have been a reasonable reaction for the character. I know people give Parks and Rec…
