- Pawnee Rangers is by far my favorite episode this season. I love seeing young girls played in such a positive, youthful light, where their main concern is having fun and having intellect, and including but not obsessing over the boys next door. It was really refreshing when all the shows actually for girls that age seem to be about being boy-crazy and how you look. Also it was just a really, really hilarious episode. I couldn't love Tom/Donna/Ben more if I tried

I couldn't love Tom/Donna/Ben more if I tried.
I KNOW!!!!

I feel like, so far, my favorite aspect is Ben being integrated into other characters' lives.
Oooh, yes, I should have said that! Ben starting to form relationships with other characters has been so much fun!

*fav. episode of season four? The first. Best tv breakup ever.
*Leslie and Ben: both. I like the interactions so far, I definitely want more.
*I don't know if she's grown, but I'm happy Donna has gotten some screen-time. I love Donna.
*Tammy One is just terrifying, because Ron doesn't seem to see the gold-digger aspects. At least he can recognize that Tammy Two is bad for him, as long as he isn't in her thrall.
*treat myself? new leather boots that I totally don't need in my warm state.
*favorite aspect of the season? Leslie Knope.
*hopes: er... more about the election, I guess.

Alas, I do not own a copy of Pawnee: The Greatest Town in America.

- Born and Raised. The sentiment was lovely and it is always great to see the entire ensemble working together. The scenes with Tom, Joan, and Ben were amazing. My second favorite is Pawnee Rangers - I would have loved to have Leslie as my troop leader. Ben, Tom, and Donna's antics were hysterical

Awww thanks :)

Favorite episode of the season? Pawnee Rangers for sure.
Leslie and Ben haven't had a lot of screen time so far; are you content with what they've had, trusting the writers to give us a pay-off later this year, or is the wait killing you? I'm surprisingly okay with waiting and trust the writer's. I'm kind of enjoying seeing Ben learn to fit in.
Which character do you think has grown most so far/favorite character of the season? I think Ben and maybe Tom have grown the most. Tom's maturing and Ben is letting loose a bit. They have been my favs.
Scariest Tammy? Tammy Zero obviously.
How would you Treat Yo Self? Manicure and shopping.
Do you feel like Leslie's campaign has gotten enough attention? Considering we are four episodes in and two have dealt with it... yup.
Overall, what had been your favorite aspect of the season? Tom and Ben becoming friends.
What are your hopes for the rest of the season? Ben and Leslie make it official. Ben at least partially joins in with E720 and even though this will make many people

I like that you mentioned Tom as a character who's grown-- I was thinking about this during the part in "Pawnee Rangers" where Ben/Batman has that little meltdown while they're shopping. I think Tom circa season 2 or even last year might have been a little harsher or not known how to handle that situation, but season 4 Tom was oddly supportive, and I really liked that.

[hauntes]

Me too. I think Tom really likes Ben but it goes against his "old" self so he covers it up.
