I watched both episodes right before bed last night while I was half-asleep and I lost my poo poo at that and "judge hammer" and "tap tap tap, case ended".

Also every mention of "Jonathan Karate".

William Hung's appearance on American Idol was an elaborate long con by Fox perpetrated for the sole purpose of readying him for the joke of being William Hung and the Hung Jury. That joke justifies the man's entire existence.

"Ninjas! Scatter!" was my favourite line of the night, though.

She'll be a nurse. She likes telling people what to do, she's not afraid of dealing with gross stuff, she gets to be brusque to people, and her being a nurse and Leslie's friend makes her Ann 2.0, which would be hilarious considering her history with Ann.

Or a mom. But I doubt they'd go that route.

Ron is literally every stereotype of an anti-govt pro-privacy kook but has reigned it in to accomplished his job, but his child being targeted by an extensive data mining operation carried about by a billion dollar MNC woke up the tiger and he will not stop until said enemy is destroyed.

The future jokes are all very funny. I like how they're doing this.

There was a bit of a swerve in attitudes between the two episodes though. It went from "Let's Take These Mothers Down" to "We Found A Prime Real Estate Opportunity For You And Did All The Work To Ensure It's Possible" pretty quickly.

If it wasn't for that then it would never have worked. They had a huge hit to their PR and got reminded that giving the land to the park service would help them. This might not be the end of the storyline, and they could still go to war.

I kinda wonder if they're gonna follow that up with an episode of the blowback of gentrification or something, they wrapped that up ridiculously quickly and the solution basically led straight in to another divisive land use issue

Leslie resorts to compromises as much or more than she just wins and gets her way. She gets really into the fight, but the fight is only to get what she wants; if she can get it without going to war with a company, she will. Unlike the show's antagonists, she doesn't need to see her opponents crushed, as long as her goals are met. It's pretty admirable. Pulling a compromise out of her rear end that pleases everyone is kind of her signature move at this point.

I'm pretty sure this was the resolution of almost every Leslie vs. Someone Else conflict during the Bobby Newport and Town Council seasons.

When's Bobby Newport coming back, anyway?

She managed the Animal Control department after they had to fire the two guys working there, but then presumably stopped that when she went to work for Leslie on the national parks job.
