Discontinued: Parks and Recreation
I’m committing Parks and Rec suicide.
This is the end.
Hold your breath and count to the Skyfall reference.
So what I’m trying to say is that I’m discontinuing my reviews for Parks and Recreation. But you probably should have worked that out from the title already. Keep up.

Bitch be literal as hell.
Well, now that all that wedding bullshit is out of the way, I guess it’s time for some filler?
Yep.
At least it’s good filler, though.

And not as adorable as Liz Lemon’s wedding.
I am here to spread dissatisfaction.
What? Somebody has to dampen all this love and sincere emotion.
It’s the only thing that keeps my filthy humanity at bay. Fuck empathy.

Chris, that is. Not Rob Lowe. I still want a living Rob Lowe.
Sometimes filler is utterly pointless.
Sometimes filler is tolerable and semi-appropriate, but bizarre.
And sometimes (especially with an impending wedding and the fruition of 5 seasons’ worth of arc) it manages to be funny, serious, plot relevant and throwaway. Together.
Which is what Parks and Recreation does at its best.

That lipstick ain’t lipstick.
…
It’s menstrual blood. The joke is that it’s menstrual blood.
So with 30 Rock dead and buried (embalmed in my tears!), it’s up to Parks and Rec to pick up the NBC sitcom slack.
Yeah, good luck with that.

Leslie then hocked a loogie on the ground and fucked 3 sluts. Because equality.
Last week we had progress on both the Lot 48 sitch and Leslie and Ben’s marriage.
So I guess it’s time for some pointless filler, then?
Why do I always have to be right?

How does Amy Poehler know what my wake-up face looks like?
I think I should just start off by saying that the above image is not capturing a hangover. Because nobody gets sufficiently drunk this episode, which seems like a real missed opportunity. Because the Parks and Recreation characters are perfection when they’re binge drinking.
Nevertheless, we still get a good combo of penis hats, pretentious hipster bars, another political guest star (Newt Gingrich. Because somebody at NBC thought that’d be cute?) and some more progress on Lot 48.
Oh, and penis gummies.

I hear this in Karen’s voice. And it’s even hotter.
Ah yes, the triumphant return of Tammy 2.
And she’s as sex-crazed and violent as ever.
I finally feel represented on this show.

You best not be steppin’ to mah Pawnee, son.
Parks and Recreation is back to what it does best: plot lines about Leslie trying to get a park built.
We are home.

Girl Power isn’t all Spice Girls and lesbian fantasies.
Yes, it’s more filler.
But it’s character-relevant filler, dammit.
And that’s what a sitcom should be.
