The time travel element is delightful.
Kevin James as Jason Bourne?
#### YEAH!
It doesn't make sense to me that Leslie would bear a grudge for two years. The Leslie we know would have fumed at Ron for a few days then come to her senses.
Also surprised not to see some throwaway lines about getting texts from Ann.
I like it so far.
The scene where they are de-programming Jamm at the cabin had me laughing so hard my wife came in from the other room to see what I was going on about.

By the way while I realize the show is essentially a fantasy of how government could work, I find it interesting that all this land they're fighting over is supposedly in pawnee city limits. How big is this city?
To dork out for a moment, while the city limits are very different, the street map of Pawnee was based on Christchurch, New Zealand, so if you go by that, it's 551 square miles of territory
I always found it amusing on the show that the joke is supposed to be (or at least was for most of the show) that Pawnee is sort of a rundown, trashy city, but they always manage to have a rich music scene, cool festivals, huge parks, a variety of interesting businesses, and so forth, and the national park just seemed to be another extension of that. It just manifests whatever extension of the city is necessary to fit the needs of the story.
It's sort of like the phenomenon from Friends and other shows of characters living in the city who are identified as poor yet have attractive upper middle class homes.
I just watched the first episode of the season again, and it turns out they actually mention the size of the Newport property and potential Grizzle HQ/national park during the announcement. It's 25 square miles centering around Lake Pawnee, so it's fairly small.
