    Yeah, I think part of the charm of Review is that it's an ordinary-ish man gladly and willingly encountering totally unbelievable circumstances without backing down

    Review was never particularly believable. I mean, the third episode is "Pancakes; Divorce; Pancakes"

    And it's a stone cold classic

    Yeah, once again, it's probably because the couple episodes of the Australian one I had seen felt really plausible, so I was hoping for the same from the U.S. version (and the Australian episodes I saw may have just been somewhat more realistic than normal).

    I will definitely keep watching when the new season hits though; I just hope they tone down both Forest and the scenarios a tiny bit. I like the pancakes episode a lot because it made sense that people on twitter would ask for really inane stuff, and that he would commit to it. It was stuff like going to space, running from the law, and there is all aching that I felt stretched just a little too far and resulted in some gags that didn't really land for me.

    I usually don't like shows that end in nicely wrapped up perfect little bows... I find it cheesy boring and super unrealistic but for some reason Parks finale didn't bother me at all.

    Maybe because I hate open ended finales and they gave me everything I could ever want to know about how these characters will end up and I loved that.

    Parks finale
    I'm not a big fan of flash forward endings, to be honest. I think my favourite sitcom finale would be the Scrubs one from the 8th season (after Blackadder, of course). It ended on such an amazing note of hope and optimism without being sappy. The future is completely open and any ending you can imagine for these people is possible.

    To me, this will always be infinitely more powerful than telling you exactly where everyone ended up. Especially after, as Pooro said, we just had an entire season that was basically a flash foward ending.

    Also, I'm not sure what Jim O'Heir meant when he said this has never been done before in a sitcom. Literally less than a year ago, How I Met Your Mother went for the same kind of ending, though much less successfully.

    I'm not saying I didn't like the finale. It would have been impossible for all these characters' final goodbyes to not be touching. I just think I liked all the other finales they did more.

    QUIET YOU!

    All that totally happens to JD and Turk and the rest of the gang!

    well one thing about the parks finale that's getting overlooked are the little hints that shit gets kinda fucked, society wise
    like, the state of Washington apparently abolishes math as a subject, and we "run out of beef" and america is now the "corporate states of america" (though that last one might be a throwaway joke more than anything)

    Couple easter eggs from the parks finale
    One of the trick or treaters Andy gives candy to is dressed as Star Lord, and the champagne given to Craig and Typhoon in the future has "Jean-Ralphio" on the label

    Also
    Apparently the guy who wanted the swing fixed was the Drunk stuck in the slide in episode 1

    Pancakes; Divorce; Pancakes is a literally perfect episode of television.

    It was probably my favorite singular thing I watched all of last year.

    It probably says a lot about Jon Daly that I look at those two pictures and the one on the right I immediately think "yup thats Jon Daly" and it's the one on the left that I have to squint and think "is that Jon Daly?"

    so I'm getting into this show The 100 that I was hearing about

    it's pretty alright

    in the second season Arlo Givens shows up as the mayor of a Fallout vault, and that's pretty great

    Watched the Parks and Recreation finale finally.

    It was a good wrap up to the show. Last episodes can be hard to do but I like the way they tied up everything and didn't leave us wondering.

    That being said, it was EXCESSIVELY positive but that's alright.

    You should watch the finale (I'm pretty sure there was only one episode left after that one), it ends on a somewhat good note.

    This is already being discussed in the show threads in D&D, but just to throw it in here:

    Apparently an Arrow/Flash spinoff is being developed featuring
    Brandon Routh
    Wentworth Miller
    Victor Garber (and one would think Robbie Amell but he isn't mentioned)
    and Caity Lotz.

    So I'm catching up on Tumblr and I came across Ben Schwartz's Parks farewell post

    He tags it with almost all the actors' and characters' names, but also with "#guardians of the galaxy #indiana jones #lego movie"

    And I realize he is a comedian and might be making a joke, but he also personally knows Chris Pratt and would probably know if there's any truth to the rumors

    And if I were writing a really sentimental post I'd probably tag it as such so that someday when someone's browsing superstar Chris Pratt, most known for his role as Indiana Jones, they'd find this heartfelt post I made about a low-rated sitcom we were both on and see how much it meant to everyone involved

    Or he doesn't know anything and he digs the rumor, but that's just where my mind went
