I'm so glad she's dead.

Awww, that is very flattering. She is imperious and I'm imperious, so it totally fits.

It is actually just butter, milk, peanut butter and a shitton of sugar. It's great.

A few nights ago, just because I could, I made peanut butter fudge at 2am. It is delicious and truly diabetic.

Please do not put the possibility of a Jesus Christ Superstar remake out into the universe. Ryan Murphy might get ideas.

This is always what I wanted The Newsroom to be like in a world where it didn't suck. I am pleased.

Probably the same episodes where they showed affection to each other in any way.

And the episode itself has thoroughly assuaged my concerns in that way, thankfully!

Great film though!

And if it doesn't pan out here, they'll be fusing it with The Biggest Loser in which every contestant will be losing their baby weight!

It does, but it's more than it's such well-trod territory that it might be funny, but narratively it could be very dull if they focus on it too much.

Oh yeah, I'm fretting over it only because I want it to remain the show I love to the bitter, 0.8-in-the-demo-NBC-series-finale end.

Yes. I can handle young Knope children, but anything toddler or younger is just zzzzz.

If the show gets another season, can they reboot it to centre on Dalia instead? Whatever it is now looks nothing like any kind of sitcom I recognise, and not in a particularly good way.

It's funny how "Bart vs. Australia" made the exoticisation of Australia totally irrelevant, and yet this shitty show dove into it head first and committed every sin The Simpsons were satirising.

Perhaps, but I think 30 Rock introduced the idea much more elegantly and realistically and it had minimal impact on the show (and obviously it's possible that'll happen with Parks too). But it was also a much more key element to the central thesis of the Liz Lemon character, where it isn't for Leslie Knope. I don't…

I agree with everything Libby has written here, I think motherhood is still an incredibly over-prioritised arc for female characters in general. It's not that women don't have kids, it's just that there's so very little left to say about that process. I've stuck by the show and continued to praise it where others have…

I'm just worried about it turning into Up All Night for more than even a second, because I just don't care. Yes! Babies are a lot of work! Literally everyone knows that!

The problem is that based on that I think the show could end without actively introducing the storyline and the audience would know that she and Ben ended up starting a family anyway. Like, of all the things I want to watch Leslie Knope do, have kids is way, way down the list.
