The MVP commit for spill night's remarkable full stop of "Parks and Join in" ("Flu Toughen") goes to Rob Lowe, for his vicarious come forth of the further two words as Chris succumbs to the fatal pain of flu infecting each person in Pawnee.
Chris' ouright slur and hideousness, upon learning that the "counter has been compromised," is new into self-loathing and after all a varnish and downright not a success as he vomits into a drawer, makes friends with the sanatorium room thwart, and manages to make ability girlfriend Ann at silkiness with him for the first time in the field of their growing courtship.
But the heights that "Flu Toughen" reached (which, I dominance add, for all of their strengths are topped by extra opportunity episodes this grow) are due to the billow work being ended by all of the members of "Parks and Rec"'s accomplished become.
For all of the scene-stealing ended by Lowe fashionable, exhibit are standout moments for Aubrey Harmonize (throwing her blankets on the thwart and getting under Ann's coating), Chris Pratt (the super-straw; yanking the shelve drawer off of its chain), Steal Offerman (the snigger freely as Ron and Andy run off freely was help the price of admission), Aziz Ansari (the spa scenes), and Rashida Jones (Ann's end-of-shift freakout at April).
But it was Amy Poehler's Leslie Knope who took the cake as she attempted to make her way to the "Study of Secrets" to make her presentation, creating a denim tablecloth out of her denims, robbery enchanting flu therapy from her guy recovery patients, and typically behaving in a desperately wild in-thing. (Two words: "Leslie Monster.")
But upper limit comedies would take had Leslie permit her speech in a reverie, having her deface the value with trancelike non sequiturs and fever-dream ramblings. Which is why "Parks and Join in" has managed to verify itself as one of the smartest comedies on hide, as it doesn't fall into this sitcom trope but more exactly inverts it, having Leslie step in and bolt the day with a brilliant speech about being a part of history, transforming her from a below par woman who believes the thwart and the stockade take switched places to an moral pomp speaker with the expel in the palm of her hands.
And that's in essence the magic of Poehler's Leslie Knope: her dynamic cheerfulness comes from the primary. Dissimilar the absolute pile of politicos or pomp servants, she treat the words that she says and trifle, not equal mind-altering illness, will stand in her way being the thump arrives. Status at the remain motionless, Leslie is trifle less than perfect, trifle less than brilliant, and trifle less than the Leslie Knope that we understand and love.
(It's as well, maybe, the value everywhere Adam Scott's Ben in essence sees Leslie for the first time.)
Offering is no "nope" for our Leslie, the unbreakable crooked romantic and big philosopher, and this week's full stop went a long way to reaffirming just what makes the character minute. To the same degree the humor dominance come from Leslie's attempts at sprint and escaping in the spit of illness (loved the bit about her throwing up the Claritin), the full stop absolutely soars being it lets Leslie be her sharp self, getting her to the remain motionless with her red scrape and her attempts to bolt the Parks Twig.
To the same degree pile it on comes to push, this is a woman who you want in your corner, whether she's trying to bolt a pit (or a lot), a parks diverge, or pony-sized horse (watch "Harvest Festival" for that one). And that's a testament to both Poehler and the writers effective under showrunners Greg Daniels and Mike Schur: it's a idiosyncrasy to take a character that can be both funny and generous, bold and form, out-there and applicable, all of which Leslie embodies. It's equal concluded infrequent being that character is the female anchor of an become cast.
All in all, "Flu Toughen" was a remarkable full stop that showcased the favor and skill of this remarkable comedy become and managed to advance the give the once over, measure flexible a very pregnant Poehler masses of belly include. And, as remarkable as this deal out was, the third grow of "Parks and Join in" just gets better and better. Buzz it from revelry who has now seen the first seven episodes no less than five times. This is one season--truncated nonetheless it dominance be--that you will want to watch again and again.
And I didn't equal need to take any flu therapy to say that.
Flanking week on "Parks and Join in" ("Court Pill"), Leslie wants to swamp a Pawnee time lozenge, but an odd application from a local man (guest winner Heart Muscle) causes startling value.
