Image Credit: Danny Feld/NBCA moment of silence, please, for the power couple that was Chris and Ann. Sure, they weren’t the show’s best-loved union — that honor goes to April and Andy, though Ben and Leslie might take it when they finally hook up — but those crazy kids really did seem to make sense together.
Their split came as the result of Chris finally moving back to Indianapolis. Since Chris is no longer living in Pawnee — and since he’s no longer attached to Ann — this seems to imply that Rob Lowe’s stint on Parks and Rec has come to an end. (At the very least, it’s going to be difficult to integrate his character into the show after this point; he’s apparently not in “Harvest Festival,” P&R‘s next episode.) I’m not sure how to feel about this. Chris certainly isn’t an essential character, but he’s a lot of fun to have around. I think I’m going to end up missing his particular brand of crazy if he’s gone for awhile. [Update: Mea culpa: Lowe was added as a series regular after this episode was shot, so I guess he's not actually going anywhere. So how will his return be explained? Speculate below!] READ FULL STORY »
