Yeah, Corwallis even alluded to the sexual favors things, calling Annie Lolita in his description of her. That struck me as sorta scummy. But yeah overall, I enjoyed enough of this episode, though it didn't hold together that well. I gave it a B.

I'm nervous too, cos I think I heard they are gonna bring back the darkest timeline stuff for the finale. But Ganz wouldn't let us down, would she?

Why the hell not? It's the best burger in LA!

"Not just my grandson's pee, any little kid's pee."

Yeah, it was damn satisfying to hear an extensive interview with classic-era writers. You just never see them interviewed really.

You aren't wrong!

The series finale is that Pam goes to Greendale to study art, and then NBC just implodes.

@avclub-fa64a7296e0906d3df820748c281ecb8:disqus I think it was that she hated that Jim bought the house without telling her.

Plus, I sorta remember something about Jim being friends with Toby before the events of the show, when they both worked in the annex. (Might have been a deleted scene, thinking about it now, but that's the way I rationalized it, other than the HR thing and Toby having gone through his divorce.)

Something something "That's what Dean said."

I read "Jim's rash decision-making" as "Jim Rash's decision-making." I'm okay with this.

They were introduced in the episode where they have to catch the opossum on the golf course, and then they attended April and Andy's wedding, and then Harris appeared as a potential suitor for Ann in the Season 4's Valentine's episode. And then yeah, the emergency one. I think that might be it. Anything I'm forgetting?

He can still really make me laugh, so he doesn't bother me too much yet. But it's felt like that the writers don't want to go through the trouble of creating a complex, feasible villain for the protagonists, so they just keep going with an easy antagonist. Of course, the result is that he doesn't feel like a threat…

Yeah, yeesh, I was not expecting that.

God, I get the giggles every time I see that screencap, and I KNOW it's coming too.

I've read Ebert since I was a kid, watched his show, heard his voice, disagreed with him about video games. He mentioned something I wrote to him in a blog entry of his once—mostly just a passing reference, but that was good enough for me. As a critic, he profoundly affected my writing and worldview, and I continued…

Some wonky issues aside, this episode made me laugh more than any other one this season. It was the first to feel like it wasn't a wannabe Harmon episode, to me, at least.

The premise sounds like the prequel to Community.

Even though he was a thin character, I actually thought Willy Jr. was one of the best parts of the episode, mostly because Adam DeVine's performance made me laugh a lot. On the other hand, the stuff at Shirley's house barely got more than a few chuckles out of me, and the movie homage felt shoehorned in there, sort of…
