Math sucks.

So, how about Leslie getting a huge promotion and it's basically an afterthought?

And she and Madeline Albright are buddies!

I like the fact that leslie didn't even bat an eyelid at the thought of leaving Pawnee, was she just excited about the new job or is it that she finally thinks Pawnee will be ok without her

Yeah, I was a bit surprised initially, but I liked that as well. Although I'm also under the impression she'd still be partly based in Pawnee, based on something she said - I forget what now, but I'm sure she mentioned she'd be going back and forth at least a bit (perhaps a reversal of how she's occasionally called to DC). But I definitely do think she's outgrown the Parks Department once and for all.

I thought nothing could ever top Madeleine Albright's cameo appearance on Gilmore Girls, but I was wrong. This one tops it. Just imagining Madeleine attending Galentine's Day events with Leslie makes my heart swell.

I was basically mouthing "YES" to all the stuff in Pie-Mary. Amy Poehler gets it (because having read Yes, Please, I know this is a very personal thing for her - it was as much her spiel as Leslie's).
