is saying a new p&r episode is good spoiling it?
its not exactly like i say **** does this and ****** does that etc.

I think Gukbe was laying down a preemptive NO SPOILERS decree. You're in the clear with saying it was good.
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 26 April 2012 01:18 (1 year ago) Permalink
Yeah, no issues with an evaluation.
― GoT SPOILER ALERT (Gukbe), Thursday, 26 April 2012 01:35 (1 year ago) Permalink
yeah, very good episode, i will just say that what this show does well it does very well here, and that what it has had some trouble doing it has some trouble doing again in this episode but luckily that part is not nearly as much the focus as what it does well. also: tour de force chris pratt performance.

the early snippets of him felt like disconnected Pratt adlibs that had made the crew laugh so they got spliced in, despite not really supporting the scene. but his ...extended performances later in the ep were certainly worthy of their audience's reaction.

rudd killed it but god the whole aziz/rashida thing is so garbage

yeah, i can't imagine anyone out there watching is really rooting for those two to make it happen, feels like something a show would do in it's ninth season when they just start pairing ppl up to see what happens. when this show makes fun of politics, or govt, or esp the media or ESP the citizenry let's say it's really fantastic. the workplace humor stuff is also strong. but the aziz/rashida stuff makes the ed helms/ellie kemper stuff on the office look like sam malone and diane chambers.
― balls, Friday, 27 April 2012 04:28 (1 year ago) Permalink
yeah, they're not even trying that hard with it. it sadly reeks of "well, we have no storylines for these two, so..." but i'd rather see them in a crappy storyline than not at all, i suppose

I like the Ann/Tom pesudo-pairing for how deliciously wrong it is.
― Simon H., Friday, 27 April 2012 04:46 (1 year ago) Permalink
The Parks & Rec writers know how stupid the Ann/Tom relationship is, judging by their comments at the most recent PaleyFest (yes I am a nerd). They seem to mainly want to mine good character moments before the whole thing is over (OMG TOM HAS THE BEST GIRLFRIEND APT!)
tour de force chris pratt performance
Andy would prob say tour de France. Chris Pratt has been MVP of this season.

I like Rashida Jones, so it's disappointing that they can't seem to come up with many stories for Ann aside from getting her together with different guys on the show.
If this show turned into a half hour of Chris Pratt/Andy Dwyer acting out the plot of different movies, I wouldn't complain.

i think that's what they're going for but it isn't really very delicious.
rashida/rob lowe was an actually entertaining pairing, although it'd be kinda lame if they just sent her back to him like clockwork.

I thought this was... okay
The emotional bits worked really well (including Ann negging Chris and Tom) but I wanted Andy's "tour de force" to be more than just acting out movies. I like that character more when he's interjecting or bouncing off of others, I guess.
I will say that Rob Lowe is killing it this season, though.

I love how fantastic of a physical actor Pratt is. Like the gag of him kicking over the TV was so obvious, but it was still p hilarious.

yeah i wasn't gonna say anything but i idg the bfd about chris pratt in this episode. enthusiastically summarizing movies seems a little stale as a gag, and the execution didn't really do much for me.
― ✧✧✧✧✧✧@are.forever (some dude), Friday, 27 April 2012 13:57 (1 year ago) Permalink
the TV kick and his attempt to schmooze donors with April were way funnier than the movie summaries IMO; actually I thought Donna's enraptured response to them was funnier than the summaries.

Andy's retelling of the fourth Rambo film was about as spot-on a critique as I've read about it.

i haven't seen it yet, but there's a director's cut of last night's episode with 6 additional minutes. so much bonus comedy between this and the two versions of 30 rock!

The extended version doesn't add much, sadly, it's just more time lolling with your favorite people on TV
