Not to go all ~feministy or whatever, but one of the things I love about Leslie (and Leslie and Ann's relationship and, coincidentally, Liz Lemon) is that she is in no way defined by her relationship status. She's a lead female character on a TV show and it's about her quest career-wise for political power. It's great. I just love the idea of that SO. MUCH. We need more of that, I think.
And you're right, the character dynamics are fantastic! I totally love Andy and April. And April and Ron. And how they pretend to be all indifferent but THEY REALLY JUST LOVE EACH OTHER. Every little development this season has just made SO MUCH SENSE and the characters are CHANGING but in these little ways that is just SO. GREAT. I can't stop talking about how amazing this show is, honestly.
I think part of my problem with Avery is that Elizabeth Banks is just meh to me. As is Avery as a character. I haven't really seen enough of her to know why she's so invested in Jack as a boyfriend either.
And yeah, agreed. While I love Floyd and Dennis and Drew, I want kickass S1/S2 Liz back. I want to see her back in the writers' room bossing people around! It used to be so much lighter in terms of how ~sad Liz was, but they've really exchanged the chisel for the sledgehammer these past few seasons and I am not digging it.
