I should never, ever trust spoilers. Ever.
30 Rock. DO NOT TRUST THE SPOILER PICS! NOT AT ALL! Seriously, if anything, this ep was detrimental to our plight that Jack and Liz are in love, but the episode was excellent nonetheless. I laughed pretty damn hard through the entire thing. LUTZ!!! He is so my hero. I love that dude like crazy. Also, I loved the callback to the whole McFlurry product placement kerfluffle when Liz was like, "This isn't product placement, I just really like it!" Salma Heyak = BLERG. I still do not get why they all loved her so much. I gotta say though, she was actually somewhat funny during the scene in Liz's office, so yay! That was more Liz than her though... But anyway, I never once understood why Jack loved her so much, and I still don't. With Phoebe, I totally understood his reasoning (and that relationship was ridiculously hilarious). CC was awesome so of course he'd love her. But Elisa? I just... don't get it. Nor do I get why Liz liked her, especially since Elisa was kind of a bitch to her. But whatever. SHE'S GONE! SHE'S FINALLY GONE! WOOHOO!!!!!! I'm celebrating almost as hard as I did when her character arc ended on Ugly Betty. Seriously, that woman can suck the fun out of all my shows. ANYWAY, she is gone. She wasn't horrible, she was just way too mediocre for a 6 episode stint. Did Floyd even get that many episodes? Anywho, this ep rocked despite the serious lack of Jack/Liz subtext.
The Office was wonderful. Oooooh, how I love seeing Michael being a capable human being! I knew he had it in him. &hearts Also, my heart broke over the fact that Dwight looked bitter about Michael coming back to the office. HOW DARE HE DO THIS TO ME? HOW DARE HE NOT BE HAPPY THAT HIS BEST FRIEND IS COMING BACK? HOW? Oh Dwight. I don't know how he manages to do this, but I am both angry and feeling sorry for him that things didn't go his way. He was finally getting some validation for his dedicated work ethic, and he totally screwed it up, and now Michael's coming back and things just won't be the same between them. Love has been lost there, and it's SO DAMN SAD! Dwight will go back to being abused by Michael and taunted by Jim and he will never be taken seriously like he was with Charles, and he is too angry with Michael to be happy for his success. Oooooh, the bitterness. And you know Michael will have a hard time trusting him again. Gah, I can't wait to see what happens between those two. Also, I'm kind of sad that the Michael Scott Paper Company is now dissolved. I'll admit it, I was hoping for a sort of ongoing David vs Goliath story wherein The Michael Scott Paper Company ended up buying out Dunder Mifflin, but alas, the show didn't dare to take this beautiful plotline further than a few eps. I wish they had though, because it really gave the show some new energy, and now it's just going back to the same old stuff. Meh. I know they had to bring the characters back together, but I thought they were doing a great job of intertwining the stories, unlike the Stamford vs Scranton days. Oh well. It's over. SO SAD! But anyway, this ep was great.
Parks and Recreation! Oh, you guys, this show has officially won me over. I was laughing quite a bit through this ep. ANDY! He is so my favorite character (aside from Leslie). I love him. He gets the best lines. Also, the cold open was fantastic. I think that's what really got me. Oh, Leslie. I so want to be her best friend. Also, Mustache Guy! He's awesome. And I still ship him with Leslie. They belong together, plain and simple. Polish Guy? Still a douche. I really wish they weren't making him and Leslie the canon ship, because UGH! I hate him. One minute he's defending Leslie, and the next crushing her hopes and dreams. I just don't get him at all. Uuuuuuugh. And yet I am shipping her with Mustache Guy, who is probably 10 times jerkier than Polish Guy. Sometimes my shipping preferences baffle me. But Mustache Guy... he's so adorably curmudgeonly and Leslie's unending enthusiasm always flusters him and THEY WOULD BE SO PERFECT FOR EACH OTHER! Okay, I need to stop this. But anyway, I thought this ep was hilarious and the haters can just... go hate on something else, because I'm pretty sure I'm in love with the show now, which is apparently (according to certain places) uncool for an Office fan, but I DON'T CARE. I'm loving it, and I will be disappointed if it gets canceled. Heartbroken? Probably not, because we're only getting 6 eps and that's not enough to garner heartbreak from me, but I will put up a fuss, dammit!
