Whenever he expresses his love for the calzone, the Pawnee people regard him as strange/an outsider. We are all thinking ahead to our future after this and making plans but in the end we have no idea what we are doing or what life on the other side will look like.īen’s connection to the calzone is that its a reflection of him as standing out in the town of Pawnee. A lot of us are all doing a lot of cooking. During this strange quarantine, social distancing, and disrupted (or disappeared) work period, a lot of us are trying new hobbies-animation or coming back to blogging or whatever. This scene spoke to me because Ben is manifesting what we are all going through right now. Although I haven’t yet started teaching myself animation, I took my similarities to Ben’s situation as a sign to work on my own calzone recipe. In this episode Ben has just lost his job (sounds familiar), and he decides to use the new found time to “explore” (also familiar) he teaches himself animation, he also works on perfecting his calzone recipe. We are all going a little crazy and it reminded of “The Comeback Kid” episode where Ben is demonstrating all the things that I am feeling, and a lot of other people too. With the pandemic, the recent quarantine measures, things closing, very little information and everything moving online let’s be honest we are currently live in a crazy time and I know that things are serious all over. I highly recommend checking it out on Netflix or at the library. It is very rare that a sitcom can make me laugh out loud almost every episode even through its later seasons but this show has managed to do it. My recent interest in the show was piqued by a reunion show that the cast has recently aired, combined with all of my new found time to watch TV brought on by the pandemic. It is a heartwarming and very funny show. ![]() With a little help from her co-workers and friends Knope tries to make Pawnee a nicer place to live while living out her own political aspirations.
