Ooh, this is Sarandon's last ep?  There I go.  She was quite possibly THE ONLY rewarding thing about this season, and that's saying something granted how terribly her character was written.

She obviously ate Henny Youngman's flesh.  It's the new hot thing these days; Madeleine Stowe lives by it!

Brenda Vaccaro looks TERRIBLE.

Wings.

They've been doing that since Season 5.  I don't even think Cerie was in more than 10 of last season's episodes.

If there's anything this episode proved, it's that Jane Krakowski is probably the finest comedic actress on TV right now. 

Let's not go that far, okay.  But it would be fun to see on Up All Night, don't you think?  Maybe as Ava's talk show rival?

I keep being staggered at how wonderful this show has been for the last three seasons.  Probably the most consistent streak of comedic excellence since mid-period Seinfeld.  The relationship between Ben and Leslie is one of those things that you don't really realize you're emotionally invested in until you yell at

Continued proof that The Office is deader than dead:  You have Maura 'Lisa FREAKIN' Miller' Tierney and you waste her.   I wish she had done a much better show, like everything else on network TV.

Granted everything she's been through the past year and a half, she looked damn good tonight.
