Jonathon I couldn’t agree with you more. Of course by now we know Parks will be back with a full episode-order next fall, but when the finale aired I was watching it with half an eye on this episode being the last episode for the show, ever. We joined these people abruptly and in the middle of their lives, and it seemed fitting we should leave in the same way, especially after that moment of personal triumph for the main character. Having some perspective and knowing it’ll be back allowed me to go back and watch it for what it was though; a stellar season finale. My PrimeTime Anytime recorded it Thursday while I watched it live, and then I re-watched it again last night. I learned over the weekend through my job at Dish about Auto Hop which, when I re-watched the show, gave me the option to have the commercials automatically skipped over. It was nice to watch it all at once, with no interruptions, and just be with these characters I love so much. Great review, and see you next year.
