That's possibly true. I still feel that they wouldn't be able to have those silly/positive talking heads from her afterwards, though, and that the show would need to have some serious positive momentum from other characters to outweigh her disappointment. The scenario of 'one episode and she's over it' is exactly what…

Yeah, he was the guy who was having I-can't-remember-how-many-affairs on the side and Leslie somehow gets reported as being the next one. It was… *has to google*… s2 episode 12, 'Christmas Scandal.'

Which scandal stuff? I can't remember any in season 3. Dexhart was season 2, and Leslie/Ben was the start of this season. Both good, yes, but…?

…yeah, because the Harvest Festival arc was the WORST run of episodes. What?

I don't get the generalised hatred of the election plot line that has been in a lot of AV Club reporting of Parks & Rec lately. It's not been perfect throughout, but I think it's generated a lot of good storylines and has been a good driving force for various characters - Leslie having to deal with a rather more…

I want her to win because I think the show will have better impetus and creative energy if she does. Partly because they can tell new stories in a wider arena, but mostly because - what does Leslie do if she loses? She goes back to being Deputy Director of Parks & Rec. She has no other immediate career progression…

It is quite a mild show, but the humour also deepens the more you get to know and love the characters. It's a perfect 'hang out with the characters and just enjoy things' show for me, and when it does occasionally make me laugh until I can't breathe I take that as an added bonus.

I think Cougar Who would be a better merger with a British show. Drinking wine across space!

I would almost have respected this comment if not for failed firsties. But you also lost me with the unnecessary 'just,' which I do not think is a necessary addition to Myles' sentence structure. (Otherwise, though: yes.)

Hah, yeah. More Mac would have been great, though. Sigh.

Hmm, I think he can appreciate a good dad conceptually. I don't think he'd ever believe in one for himself - like if Keith started trying to be father-figurey to him or anything - but I think he recognises what Veronica has and is even a bit jealous of it. Doesn't stop him antagonising the hell out of Keith though,…

Oh god. Vale of Arryn. Aaron Echolls. Tell me they weren't that good…

Oh man, the TWoP board. It wasn't just the shipping - hell, I was a shipper (still am) and could probably have dealt with that - but they hated season 3. Like, an unreasonable amount. I get that Piz as 'alternative boyfriend' is annoying if you see him as nothing more than a distraction from TWU LUV 4EVA, but to…

I can't quite remember the details, but basically ASoIaF bastards' surnames are all inanimate things, but different depending on where they come from (or which noble house they're related to, I guess). There's definitely a Stone and a Flowers as well as the Snow, and I've a feeling there's lots of others I'm…

I know their budget meant they could only have a number of their regular actors every episode, and I think Keith and Logan are pretty much the only characters who didn't suffer for that by being suddenly absent in such a way that you wondered where they were.

Yup. To all of that. The concept of them is just so much better than the execution.

I love the Logan/Veronica/Keith dinner. Makes a lot of sense that Keith and Logan are both trying to play nice but both kind of wanting to attack each other too - and that every time they almost manage to get onto serious topics (and therefore antagonistic, but possibly in a way that could have helped things),…

There is a brilliant little section in the tie-in Pawnee book that runs through all of Perd Hapley's other show titles. Wait, I'm going to have to go find it now and share…

Well, now I know what a roundelay is. So there's that.

I find it interesting that I had no doubt in the moment that Peter was telling Neal to run, but retrospectively it seems odd that Neal took that small head-shake as such clear-cut advice. Not just to turn around and get away from this building, not just to lay low for a few days while I keep you safe from Kramer, but:…
