I really appreciate the fact that this show (and, despite the budget cuts, this season) gives us enough to enjoy that @intangible_fancy:disqus, @avclub-de584085097dbcc290d237ea48ccd97c:disqus and @avclub-07f2d8dbef3b2aeca9cb258091bc3dba:disqus  can have three different opinions on this question without any controversy.

I thought the Rory/Amy stuff was GREAT—some of the best work the show has ever done presenting something that will make kids jump behind the sofa while unsettling adults on a much deeper level. And I'd put up with watching the Rebel Flesh two-parter again just to hear the "Fear me: I've killed hundreds of Time…

I really don't understand why "The Doctor's Wife" gets the amount of love it does. It was a pretty average episode for season six: Not the funniest, not the most emotional, and not the most exciting, but also not the least. Yes, it has Neil Gaiman's name on it, but if we didn't know he was the writer, would anyone…

@avclub-bca3531762af8a993c4f60c48fd5e33b:disqus, I wasn't trying to say that a five- or six-party system would be sustainable, only that when people from across the entire possible spectrum of opinion need to clump together into one of only two groups in order to be politically relevant, making an accurate judgement…

I'm pretty sure that by the end of the season, we'll see that Leslie, after getting the compass from Ron in 2012, actually goes on to give it to Ron in the first place back in the 1950's.

@avclub-bca3531762af8a993c4f60c48fd5e33b:disqus, were you offering that as an interesting aside, or as a refutation?

@avclub-6d0cbc987f0ee695ca4e8d07ecde8d7a:disqus , that was great for the few episodes where that was what they were going for, but he slid past that into just using the cadence of a newscaster to narrate what was going on around him, and began to often misunderstand basic conversational cues. For example, the Perd who…

@paraclete_pizza:disqus , I disagree: In a two-party system, party affiliation tells you next to nothing about a person's values or worldview. If we had a five- or six-party system, you'd be right, though.

@avclub-1d5f36370c7ddcd55c96c2fb6bd11ead:disqus , April was charmed by Andy's guilelessness. Andy was impressed by how severe April was: After being made by Ann to see that he's rather childish, he saw the fact that April comports herself in almost the exact opposite fashion to be an intriguing sign of maturity or…

I get that, when he was first introduced, Perd didn't have much in the way of a comic voice, but the evolution of his character is one of the very few things on this show that has felt like a mis-step to me as a viewer. Most Pawneeans—even small-scale recurring characters—end up having some degree of depth the more we…
