We Just Got A Totally Unexpected 'Parks And Recreation' Cast Reunion — See The Adorable Video!

1. Kristine Frøseth as Feyre Archeron

Casting Kristine Frøseth as Feyre in ACOTAR makes sense because her execution of Nan St. George in Apple TV's The Buccaneers is nothing short of perfection. Her youthful face and steely determination are on par with Feyre's, not to mention she's got experience being caught in a love triangle as an actress.

2. Elle Fanning as Elain Archeron

Elain Archeron is depicted as weak and fragile when she's first introduced in A Court of Thorns and Roses, but being thrown into the cauldron by King Hyberth alters her beyond a molecular level. There are several theories about her final destiny in the popular series which makes Elle Fanning a phenomenal option for this role.

She has the disposition of someone who maintains their childlike wonder, but she's played several characters who've shown why they should never be underestimated.

3. Sophie Turner as Nesta Archeron

Nesta Archeron may not be as well-loved as Feyre or Elain, but I don't think she's ever cared about that. It's not to say she's completely heartless, but her ice cold demeanor often makes it seem that way. Given Sophie Turner's prior role as Sansa Stark in Game of Thrones, we agree that she should play the eldest Archeron sister.

4. Jason Segel as Mr. Archeron

If you've read ACOTAR then you're well-versed in how goofy Mr. Archeron is. He's supposed to be the patriarch of the Nesta, Elain and Feyre's household, but his bad decisions have left them in a destitute situation. The only person who could make this character real is Jason Segel (How I Met Your Mother).

5. Sam Reid as Tamlin

Sam Reid plays a convincible vampire named Lestat de Lioncourt in Interview with the Vampire which is why we can picture him as Tamlin. He has the complexion and blonde locks we picture the High Lord of the Spring Court to have, plus we're sure he could easily make viewers believe he's a troubled ruler of his part of Prythian.

6. Archie Renaux as Lucien Vanserra

We picture Lucien as having good looks that are sometimes overshadowed by his carefree nature and sense of humor. Who better to play him than Archie Renaux (The Other Zoey and Alien: Romulus)?

7. Sean Teale as Rhysand

If anyone's going to play the High Lord of the Night Court, it has to be Sean Teale (Mother of the Bride and Doctor Odyssey). He has the dark features that readers love, plus that smile could charm the pants off any fae or human. There, we said it.

8. Can Yaman as Cassian

Cassian's known for his attractiveness as well as his mischievous nature in ACOTAR, so we think casting Can Yaman (Viola) as him would be an excellent choice! Just look at that face! Does it now say, "Come on, Feyre. We don’t bite. Unless you ask us to."

9. Matthew Daddario as Azriel

Azriel's may be the moody righthand man of Rhysand, but it's for a good reason. His upbringing wasn't the best, but he learned how to hold his own in a fight and is known for being merciless when the moment calls for it. Does that not feel similar to characters Matthew Daddario (Shadowhunters) has played before?

We think so.

10. Isabel May as Morrigan

So far, Morrigan's proven to be a girls and guy's girl. She's the loyal and supportive friend everyone should have which is why we want Isabel May (1923) to play her.

11. Rina Sawayama as Amren

We don't have much to say about Amren because her character speaks for itself. However, no one else should play her unless its Rina Sawayama (John Wick: Chapter 4).

13. Dove Cameron as Ianthe

Last but not least, we finally come to the cunning Ianthe. She initially won us over in A Court of Mist and Fury, but her true intentions were revealed in A Court of Wings and Ruin. Sadly, her ambitions lead to a nasty fate but deserved fate. If someone's going to play her, it has to be Dove Cameron (Shameless). She looks exactly how we imagine the High Priestess would, right down to the slant of her eyes.

1. Ellie is dealing with some major trauma.

In The Last of Us season 1, episode 8 "When We Are in Need," we had the unpleasant experience of meeting a man named David, who says he's a pastor who found God. And over the course of the anxiety-inducing 51 minutes, David kidnaps Ellie, Joel attacks David's men to get her location, and, oh, Ellie realizes David has turned the group into cannibals without their knowledge.

At the end of the episode, David attempts to sexually assault Ellie while the lodge burns down around them. Ellie winds up killing him with a literal meat cleaver before stumbling outside covered in his blood. (I still think about this scene, I hate it so much).

Joel finds her, and from this moment until the end of episode 9, Ellie's a changed person (duh). She's still curious and fun, but she's definitely more closed off than she was before — and we'll have to see how much it affects her five years later.

2. ​Joel saves Ellie at the expense of the Firefly hospital.

Ellie's troubles are far from over after her run-in with David. In episode 9, "Look for the Light," Joel and Ellie arrive in Salt Lake City. After a very sweet conversation about how she helped Joel heal from his daughter Sarah's death that had me emotional, the Firefly rebels arrive and both knock Joel out and take Ellie.

Joel wakes up in a hospital room, where he learns that the Fireflies will operate on Ellie (who's immune, remember) to get the cure for the infection. The only problem? She won't make it out alive. And in a fit of pure paternal rage, he takes out the entire hospital, including both doctors and soldiers.

3. Ellie is immune thanks to her mom.

The show finally explains Ellie's immunity in the final episode during a flashback. Ellie's mom, Anna, gives birth to our leading lady right around the moment she's attacked by an immune. And since the umbilical cord still connects Ellie and Anna, the cordyceps infection enters Ellie's body, and immune system, differently than if she'd been bitten.

4. Joel and Ellie return to Jackson.

The beginning of The Last of Us saw Joel trying to find his brother Tommy, and they do reunite in episode 6, "Kin." After everything that happens at the hospital, Joel and Ellie head back to Tommy's home in Jackson to start their new lives alongside Tommy, his wife Maria, and the rest of the town (including Dina and Jesse, two new friends Ellie has in season 2).

5. Joel lies to Ellie about the cure.

Perhaps the most important thing to remember about The Last of Us ending is that not only does Joel kill a dozen Fireflies, but he tells Ellie that there were multiple immune people, and that raiders had attacked the hospital. Ellie doesn't know that the cure would cost her life, but she's obviously disappointed by the fact she couldn't help — especially since it's clear she feels like her purpose as an immune is to help develop a cure.

In the final moments of the episode, she tells Joel to swear he was telling the truth. And when he does, all she says is, "Okay."

From the jump, we finally found out why Dr. McKay has an ankle bracelet — she's in a custody battle and was deemed flight risk. This explains so much about the tension with the "Bonus Mom" girlfriend, Dr. McKay's ex-husband, and her son. We don't know why the split and custody battle are so contemptuous, but at least it explains why someone with an ankle monitor is able to work in the medical field. It was always obvious Dr. McKay was a good doctor, but this little detail definitely confused me for the whole season.

I'm glad the police decided to let her go after tampering with the monitor — ya know, so she could save lives after a literal mass shooting.

This Dr. Langdon situation continues to get murky. He chose to confide in Dana which wasn’t necessarily unexpected, but it was interesting. It's clear he was desperately searching for allies to confirm that he's not actually an addict...whether he's looking to confirm that to himself or to Dr. Robbie is another story.

It seems like Dr. Langdon really believes he was just "weening" himself off of the pain medication like a doctor would, but it doesn't seem like anyone else is really buying that. When Dana tells him that Dr. Robbie will do what's best, it really shows how much the entire staff trusts his leadership, but also how questionable Dr. Langdon's choices really may be.

While we already know David isn’t the shooter from the festival, it's clear that Dr. McKay still finds him a bigger threat than just a depressed high schooler. He may not have deserved the intensity from the police at first, but I think the subsequent persistence for preventative mental health treatment is brilliant. This all feels especially timely given the “manosphere” and the rise of toxic masculinity in young men right now.

Totally love how they approached this, and I hope season 2 gives us a glimpse into a follow-up here.

When Dr. Langdon and Dr. Robbie finally had their confrontation about the drug use, I was genuinely shocked by Langdon's behavior. Dr. Robbie offered an out that made sense — NA meetings, random drug testing, etc — without requiring Dr. Langon to lose his job (or medical license). Instead of taking that graciously, Dr. Langdon acted out and used Dr. Robbie's panic attack very obviously caused by PTSD against him. This low blow was incredibly addict behavior-coded, and he really only proved that he's not fit to practice.

After a pretty tumultuous season for her, Dr. Santos definitely proved her bedside manner is so much better by the end! Her cutthroat mentality, rash decision-making, and blunt demeanor clearly wasn't serving her — or her patients — at the beginning of her first shift. Not only did it upset everyone around her, but it lead to some patient complications that honestly could have been avoided.

Now, by the end of her first 15 hours of her Emergency Medicine rotation, it's clear that Santos embraced a thoroughness and thoughtfulness that ultimately lead her to save a man from future self-harm. So proud of her growth!

(And I can't wait to see what roommate Santos and Whittaker are like in season 2!)

Throughout the episode, the residual blood prints on the floor highlighted the ever-present tragedy the ER just faced in only a few hours. It's such a good, small, specific detail that shows how the doctors, nurses, and overall hospital staff have to continue on in the face of their own trauma, saving more and more lives as the clock ticks on.

These details make Dr. Robbie’s speech all the more poignant. He said, “None of us are gonna forget today — even if we really, really want to.” And while that's exemplary of how people experience trauma in real life, but it also clearly exhibits his character’s direct experience with the trauma of COVID and the loss of his friend and mentor.

With that in mind, it's fitting that Dr. Robbie and Dr. Abbott share an emotional moment the roof after meeting each other there in the first episode. The men discuss the hardship of this role, questioning why they keep coming back day after day to such a heavy job.

Meanwhile, the ER waiting room starts quickly filling up all over again, further highlighting the continuous fatigue and mental health hardships each doctor and medical professional faces throughout their shifts – and their entire careers.

At the end of the day, when all the doctors cheers to the work, the patients saved, and the patients lost, it felt like Nick Caraway's last quote from The Great Gatsby:

So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.

Remaining Takeaways:

• Dr. Whitaker not being able to afford a place to live or a car as a literal doctor shows how messed up it is that we can’t pay a livable wage to the people literally saving lives day in and day out — even when they’re students, interns, or otherwise.
• Poor Dr. King's caregiver fatigue. I hope she’s okay because she's definitely gonna burnout operating at the level she is — high metabolism or not.
• The rats coming back is honestly hilarious.
• Dr. Abbott worked so hard all day with that prosthetic and didn't let a single person or patient feel bad about it. A consummate caregiver.
• Dana won’t come back — she’ll be the medical professional to break the cycle of putting themselves in this day-in and day-out.
• We still don't know what's going on with Dr. Collins — I hope she's okay!
