offspring515 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I hope my wife goes to bed early because if she sees how much this show will make me cry tonight there is no chance she will ever sleep with me again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterien Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 *Non finale related comment* Ive started watching this over the last few weeks and it is so so great. Season 1 was awful but I stuck with it cos everyone said it really picks up for the 2nd season and..... I thought it was ok but it dragged. Then season 3 came along and now im hooked. Long story short- I now love the show and may need to rewatch season 2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Web Conn Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Any chance Mark Brendanawicz makes an appearance in the finale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I think someone asked Sepinwall about that on Twitter, and his response was a curt "Don't count on it." And he's tight with Mike Schur, so I think he would know if Paul Schneider wasn't welcome back, for whatever reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offspring515 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 So my fucking, cocksucker of a dvr didnt record the first ten minutes. My recording kicks in with April, Andy and Leslie getting a form frm Ethel Beavers. Can anyone fill me in on what I missed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 That was an emotional series finale. It was perfect. Goddamn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 "Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing." Boy, that really sums up the show perfectly. What a great ending. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trocar Slush Weasel Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I was hoping that Ron's Ranger team would have been the grown up versions of the Pawnee Rangers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 It was a phenomenal final season, and the finale was good, but probably the least of the series finales that they did over the course of the show. I expected them to aim more for sentimentality than laughs, and that's what I got, so no complaints. The only time I really laughed hard was when April was in labor and the camera whipped around to show her in the Halloween makeup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 It was a great episode, you should watch it. Really touching. At the end, Pratt sings them off with an infamous Parks & Rec song, Aubrey and Jim do something... weird, and a special cameo from a certain City Council member. Oh, and Aubrey clearly mouths "Fuck You" in a tight reaction shot in response to something they do before the end of the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zimbra Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 "Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing." Boy, that really sums up the show perfectly. What a great ending. I also like that they really emphasized that all of these people are better for having known and worked with each other. That was pretty much the perfect finale. The show was so tightly focused on Pawnee that it only makes sense to see what these characters could do in the wider world. My only real regret is that we don't see what Andy is doing besides being married to April and still being a goon. I did pretty well up until Garry's 100th birthday and then Ron canoeing. Things got really dusty in my house after that. One nice touch: the guy that asks them to repair the swing is played by Jon Daly, who was also the drunk that Leslie tries to get out of the slide in the pilot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Man, the finale wrecked me. Maybe I have more of an affinity for this show since I live in Indiana and some of this stuff cracks me up more than others, but I really identified with some of the themes in the finale. For sure one of my all-time favorite TV shows. I will greatly, greatly miss the Parks and Rec gang. I'm really happy they made it this far, especially when there was talk of not bringing it back after that first season, which is way better than people remember. Except for Mark Brandonowicz. Fuck that guy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Lucia Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Something I noticed during Garry's funeral that they never touched on any further - Ben and Leslie being flanked by the Secret Service before one of them mentions its time to leave.

Craig H Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 That's what I was assuming. Either Ben or Leslie eventually became president. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
