I just finished this episode, and was disappointed to see it score lower than most episodes. Honestly, this one is in my top ten.

It takes place in the future (2017), which is a bold and unexpected move for the show. It was very surreal to see April with a holographic tablet, Andy with his own show, Leslie hating Ron, ext. But it was all very refreshing, and was unlike anything we've seen in the show. It was all very well executed, and keeps you guessing about what you'll see next.

My favorite part was Andy and April worrying that they've finally grown old and lost their youth, and question whether their spontaneous adventures are over. It's great to still see this kind of character development this late in the series.

The only problem is Leslie's hate for Ron being very out-of-nowhere. There is no build up to it so it sort of lacks believability at first, but it makes more sense as it's explained later on.

Overall great episode, I can see why it might be too different for some fans, but just keep an open mind and you just might love it.
