Yep…weird.

Who am I, Sonia Saraiya?

Don't mess with the best.

YEAH WELL YOUR FACE

True, but it never really progressed until "KaBoom". It was pretty much part of the premise then.

I know I've heard it before!

It was like she was animated by Studio Pierrot! Am I right guys?

You're right, it's "dumb as a bag of hair". Close enough.

It was a great character moment. She mentioned in the pilot how much she wanted Holt to be her mentor, but the writers never really did anything with that until now.

The high school version of Hair was hilarious. It was the only laugh out loud worthy gag in the episode, but it might be the funniest joke in the whole show.

I loved that moment. It was a completely unnecessary tangent, but it was perfectly in character.

You can start from halfway into season one I feel. After that, the payoffs to the character arcs will begin to have diminishing returns because you've spent too little time with them.

It's also nice that they didn't make him an over the top homophobic to the point where it might stretch realism. He was just insensitive and bigoted, so he didn't come off as a strawman. That made the punch feel even more earned IMO.

It took Parks and Rec about ten episodes, separated by a season break, to really start serialization, so I wouldn't be making any declarations like that yet.

I second 70s era Holt, if only for more chances to see Andre Braugher deapan while wearing that ridiculous afro and mustache.

That sounds more like Diaz

seriously, hair bags? What does that even mean?

Or in season 2! *knock on wood*

She had the perfect level of condescension in every time she said "pineapples"

"I suffered three heart attacks that year. Hitchcock turned out alright though."
