I really want the final episode to be another time skip, and it's an hour long adventure where President Knope has to solve a murder on a train.

And Joe Biden is there because he just loves trains.

Tom acting as Andy's agent got Andy the intellectual rights to Johnny Karate so I guess he can start doing the show again in DC but I don't really think they'll show us that. I think this season actually has been pretty fun but instead of nitpicking that it takes a restaurant three years on average to start turning a profit, my question would be if we really needed to see two characters get married to people we don't really know

It's actually more realistic that these people would marry outside of The Crew, but I guess we have to be mad because it was shoehorned in?

Lucy has been in and out for a while now. She first appeared in season 2, was in season 3, showed up at the massive party where it was shown they still cared for each other, and finally reconnect in season 7.

Jump cut to 20 years later, Leslie and Ben's triplets must fight each other to the death in the Gryzzldome because there is only enough food to sustain one of them.

Leslie and Ben cook up a plot to save them... and cook up a few Pawnee raiders in the process.

Nobody's mad, stop being childish. It's actually okay and allowed to think a TV show you like isn't perfect, and to discuss ways you wish it were better.

And it was the most Bill Murray thing he could do. A pre-recorded message, then a smiling corpse while an elderly woman talks about how they hosed every single day for decades.

Wittels really hurts, because I respect the poo poo out of anyone that tries that hard to fight addiction and can be that honest about it. And it's something that never goes away, there will always be relapses. He was awesome.

Same, I assumed it would leak if he was to be on the show and was minorly bummed about it earlier in the season. Great moment.

Harris Wittels dying the week before the finale is just a gutpunch. Sucks.

Mike Schur realized the ending wasn't going to be dark enough. Since he figured it was too late to go back and re-tape the finale, he had Harris Wittels killed as an alternative.

I'm reading this in Aziz's voice, and it's just so weird hearing him in a serious tone. It's pretty clear how close they were as friends, and how hilarious Wittels was. I'm sure most of the jokes I laughed hardest at in P&R were written by him. He really had a skill for writing unique jokes that not many people could think of, but most would find funny. It makes me sad to think of all the comedy there was in his head that won't ever be shared with the world.

Have you seen his standup? It's basically the same except instead of fantasizing about hanging out with famous people he actually does get to hang out with them and tell ridiculous stories about it.

Yeah, his standup made me question why some comics draw large crowd and some don't.

Also, his movie script stories amused me. He basically tries to make his version of the White Castle movie.

I don't like it, and I'm sorry I ever had anything to do with it.
There has been an odd dislocation in the tone of the show this season. It's a fanservice victory lap, and at times it comes across as a self-parody with the characters playing caricatures of themselves.

But you know what? It's still fun to watch, it's well-written, and a nice send-off for a gem of a show.

Aziz is pretty funny, although he suffers from doing that thing that a lot of comedians do where when they are interviewed, instead of just... doing an interview they just do their stand up routine.

Based on his Comedy Bang Bang appearances, he's more of a writer/standup/actor rather than an improv guy. I still find his delivery hilarious though

There's obviously a difference between joking around and doing your pre written material. If he wants to do his stand up routine then do a set before or after the interview. Comedians do proper stand up on talk shows all the time why do it from the chair and disguise it as honest conversation?
