It was really interesting to watch so much back-to-back to compare the pacing. Recreation felt so slow at one episode a week, but as a season as a whole it feels just about right. While I love Recon and think it's pretty much the most awesome thing ever, it feels way too fast when sandwiched between 5 and Recreation, and our newbie to the show said it was like a complete information overload. Which it sort of is, I remember thinking that to some degree as well the first time. But then I immediately went and watched the commentary, and re-watched the season again the next day, and only then did I really get everything out of it. I still prefer it to Recreation, but the sequel is excellent when taken as a whole, moreso than it did piece by piece.

omg can't wait for part three now though.
