It's not only that, but it shows that while he's still particular about a lot of his ideals, he's not a complete libertarian caricature in his ideology anymore.

You have to love when you have just the right actor(s) and just the right writer(s), to be able to develop a character so well. Brooklyn 99 is another one with Captain Holts development over the series.

@xSah2 Money was not necessarily a measure of success that Ron or Leslie actually cared that much about. Leslie enjoyed doing work worth doing alongside people she loved, which was never about the money.
The fact that they came all the way to Scotland to film in front of the actual Lagavulin distillery is amazing dedication if you ask me; Most production companies would just throw up a mock set that looks like it
Notice how in the beginning, no one knew Ron's middle name because he was super secretive about everything. But throughout the years Leslie has taught Ron about opening up himself to others. In the end, although he said he wasn't looking for new friends, he gladly gave his middle name.
“I once made the mistake of not talking to you in such a moment.” Ron’s best attempt at asking Leslie for a job his second time around. And by god it worked.
Be a Leslie for yourself, and be a Leslie to those you meet. You can still be a Ron when you need to be, but give everyone the chance to show their Leslie side.
@@wnerko7484 He actually did. That very canoe in the scene is Nick Offerman's (the guy who played Ron Swanson). Offerman is a very good (I don't want to say master as I don't know his training) woodsman, and has built several canoes before.
After this episode aired and the series ended I truly started to contemplate my life and as surprising as it is. I’m actually going into an internship at a National Park near where I live because of it. This episode truly inspired me. I know she isn’t real and I know I may not ever get to meet the actor who portrayed her in real life, but thank you Leslie Knope. Thanks for inspiring me to chase my dreams. UPDATE: I wasn’t eaten by a bear! Don’t worry! But the internship went really well and I found that I actually fit quite well in working the landscape of the National Parks Service! I’m graduating this year and I’m going into college as a biology major!
@@funnynameforme4091 he like teddy roosevelt running for vp wouldn't want to run probably but his friends would run his campaign for him and somehow get him elected.

I hope they feel I’m a decent fellow even if they might compare my politics to those of the Dark Lord Vader himself. The important thing is to humanize them. Have a conversation. Not an argument :)
Ron's flash forward was the best part of the finale, and the most emotional one. It would have packed more of a punch in this clip if they included the end when Ron paddles in his canoe, smiling happily while "Buddy" played. His relationship with Leslie is the best part of the show and the ending reflects their absolute trust, devotion and understanding of each other. It was the perfect end for Ron, all because he reached out to his "workplace proximity acquaintance." The perfect moment to a perfect series finale.
I already love this scene for so many reasons that most people here have pointed out, but 3:09 Leslie's delivery of "you'd work outside, you'd talk to bears, next argument" is just so cute to my ears.
Gotta love how Ron went from running the Pawnee rangers, the almost Boy Scout-esque troop back in Season 4 to running the Pawnee National Park Rangers at the end here. Talk about an arc.
this little story line at the end of parks and rec is just the best... its the very fitting and peaceful, fullfilling ending to the character arc of such a unique guy. it somewhat makes me teary-eyed
Anyone notice how Leslie said "She convinced the current head to transfer" and "shuffled some things around" to get him the job. Dayum Leslie you came far.

Scene 2: john sits on his self made rocking chair staring intensely at the camera as he pours a himself a glass of orange juice without losing contact.

Well, crying IS acceptable at funerals in the Swanson way of life, and this episode is kind of a funeral for the series, so i guess it would have been ok. ;-)
Hard to imagine any two friends that love and respect each other more than these two. Both so fundamentally different but manage to only see the best in each other. To me, this is the heartbeat of the show.
This show absolutely rocks! The character arcs are perfect! It does something that few comedies ever do, it gets funnier and more heartfelt as it goes. This cast became a family, and you can feel that in every scene. Watch Parks and Recreation! You will not be disappointed!
I think this is the most human segment of anything I’ve watched. Make all the money you want,accomplish everything you want but at the end the only way to find true happiness is having peace
I just shed a tear because I realized something after all these years...the scene where he's introducing himself to his new Park Rangers circles back to when he used to be the troop leader for the Pawnee Rangers. God i love this show
Every episode of season 7 makes me cry. I can't help it. The friendships written in this show are so touching, and it's a beautiful journey seeing the way these characters have come to care for each other. This show makes me feel better about the world and more optimistic for the future.

It just hit me that in all the times I have binged watched this show (6 times and counting), I have subconsciously left the final episode unwatched. And to be honest, I believe I may forever leave it unwatched that way it continues on in my sleep-deprived mind.
I have done the same thing with scrubs. Rewatches the series multiple times but never watched the last episode of season 8. I just dont want it to end.

" though, hopefully not too fine as i'm not looking for any new friends " ahh love the detail. character development of saying his full name, having full trust in Leslie but still the same ol' Ron don't get chummy Swanson
"If you show up on time, speak honestly and treat everyone with fairness we will get along just fine". I say this to *ALL* of my new hires. Unfortunately it's lost on about half.
This scene and the scene where Leslie sends him on his journey to the Lagavulin distillery, and he reads that poem on the cliffs, are two of the most moving and loving scenes in TV history.
It's because of ron swanson (and by proxy, nick offerman) that i have begun ending any requests i make with "please and thank you" Also taking cues from the character on how to do a job is spectacular. It got me associate of the month 4 months after starting said job.
This is character development. Ron evolved from redacting his middle name from friends to saying his full name in front of strangers.
