I liked the landmine gag. "Do you mean that I had a toy on my desk for five years?"

I was hoping that Ron's revelation would have something, anything to do with his wife (Lucy Lawless) and three children that he has, three of whom (wife and daughters) seem to have been completely ignored for a long time. Yeah, I get that Lawless can't commit to the show, but damn, this is a glaring omission to not even mention them.

all the kids are always missing. I guess its better than dealing with "kid plots". It would be funny if they never show the kids at all this season and just mention how they're at the baby sitters every few episodes

I wonder if they'll actually get Johnny Depp for the last episode of Game of Thrones.

Kevin James also took over that role in the Pirates reboot, so doubtful.

Agreed. I hated him when he first appeared on the show, but loved him by the end of last season. We need more Craig before this is over.

If you aren't watching it already, you must check out Billy On The Street.

That was all the Craig I needed. Billy Eichman is not funny.

How in the world can this show be coming to an end?

I am loving all the jokes this little time shift brings to the table. It's too bad that they're going to be obsolete in a few years. I feel for the people who come to this show late and end up seeing this season in 2017 or later.

This season is brilliant so far.

So Tom and Donna took a limo ride from Indiana to Beverly Hills?

I keep forgetting they're in the future, until they make a reference to something in their past--like the Star Wars Episode 7 opening.

...or when they whip out their transparent phones.

In 2016, Beverly Hills moves to Muncie. Or they took a limo ride to the airport.

Yep. That was the perfect dose for the entire season.

Enjoyed seeing Ron and Leslie team up again.

Ron's little happy smile during that group meeting when Leslie said only good things happen when she and Ron team up made me happy too.

Re: Parks and Recreation (NBC) - The 7th & Final Season Thread - premiering 1/13/15

I always love when Tom pulls through for his friends, especially when it involves him crying like a baby and begging people for things. I love the reveal that Andy was doing all that work and only getting $100 per week.

I loved Ron appearing in the middle of a rainy night with a robot in one hand and his gun in another. Something about him "killing" a robot was so satisfying. The stuff with Perd near the end though, every bit of it slayed me.

The stuff with Perd and his courtroom show KILLED me though. Every bit of it was gold. "I've misplaced my judge hammer" and "Tap, tap, tap" were hilarious. But what made me laugh the most was when Leslie gave her long convoluted explanation of why she was there and Perd replied with "Well said."

Also loved "It's Ice Town all over again!" and "Is Star Wars the one with the little wizard?"

Andy: "Was it Putin? Voldemort Putin from Russia? I'd love to take that guy down."

Josh Groban ordering his own sushi

I really like how they're featuring a lot of the recurring characters in the final season. Cool to see Andy's Mouse Rat band mate making an appearance on the Johnny Karate TV Show; DJ Blunts ushering in Treat Yo Self 2017 and chauffeuring to Beverly Hills; JJ and the Diner; Dennis Feinstein still being a jerk; and the creepy tattoo/pawn shop guy coming out of the floor hole.

Great to see Craig getting more screen time. Loved his line "While I'm disappointed my reign didn't last longer, I'm satisfied with the decisions I've made and people I've fired."

Andy as Jonathan Karate and his team of child ninjas TP'ing Feinstein's office was great. I really liked the compromise of rebuilding the old neighborhood and donating the land to National Parks. Felt like a pretty realistic compromise actually.

I'm staunchly in the boat of "Less Craig is more and more Craig is too much".

The Craig-o-meter is starting to creep up again.
