this episode fkn ruled. so many little things are what make the office so great and this ep was full of them. andy straddling the desk talking to pam, the sound of the outhouse door keeping pam up, the telemarketer people actually liking michael, the whomever spot....so v v good. def the best of the 4 so far.

Weird ass episode. The scene where Andy talks to Pam was hilarious, as was Kelly and Daryl kissin.

I know we're here for open discussion, but this was the best episode of the season, it's not close to even being close.

The guy running by Jim's car was hilarious.

Rainn Wilson deserves major props for his acting in the stairs scene. My g/f cried.

All around, Michael wasn't as ridiculous as the first 3 EPs, which is a plus.

Don't understand why y'all are so crazy about this episode. I mean, it was funny here and there, but a lot of scenes were really bad and boring imho. Most of the farm stuff for example. It had potential but turned out to be totally sad and boring. Jim and Pam couldn't joke about it rightly because it was just pathetic.

The whole whomever whoever also seemed dumb. It was just not convincing to me at all that any of the actors did a good job of being convinced that they cared.

question: I didn't totally get the last line Jim said to Dwight. "So my solution was to move away. It was awful. I needed something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.. and that includes you." The "needed" part is what confuses me. Or am I hearing it wrong?

It is not really possible to make it out. And my option just seems more logical than your option. Still, not great though and we can probably just chalk it up to an acting misclick.

jesus christ JC! the office is really stepping up. These past 4 hour long eps have been the best of the series. It's unfortunate they aren't going to be all hour long (do we know how many more hour one's they're putting through?).

amazing show...

Glo 10-19-2007 06:32 AM

Re: The Office Season 4 Ep 4
 
I have a feeling it might coincide with the Scrubs Premier... I believe it's next week. So no more hour long episodes, me thinks.

this was the last of the hour-longs [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

now back to half-hour with some 40ers and hour-longs thrown in from time to time (xmas episode, etc)

It seems to be love/hate in OOT. I think love even has the majority. But he really grinds my gears for whatever reason. He's just so melodramatic and cartoonish. But I guess so is Michael, and I have no problem with him. shrug

Do not compare Michael to Kevin. Kevin is just kept on to entertain viewers under 14. He is beyond retarded.

Kevin and Michael are by far my two least favorite characters and have been from season 1. Kevin is worst though.

This really surprises me, I think Michael is my least favorite character of anyone on the show tbh.

wtf how can you hate Kevin? He is on or off in each episode, but when he is on its AMAZING. I mean [censored] casino night alone makes him the best supporting character not named Creed.

Yes, and Angela has one about the owner being a psycho.

Only other show related one is by Garreth Keenan. If you read it in the Garreth voice it's pretty funny, but I'm guessing that one is a normal fan just being clever.

Re: The Office Season 4 Ep 4
 
I'm not a huge Kevin fan. He's certainly not one of the better secondary characters on the show IMO. I agree with CrazyEyez that's he's too melodramatic. Last week's reading of "hot circle of garbage" is a good example. But other times, I think he's solid.

Anyways about the episode, I enjoyed it. It had a lot of great character scenes and some good laughs, but I'm shocked at how many people would call it one of the best of all-time.

Not only the line but he goes for the fist pound with Stanley and just gets the Stanley look. That made it that much better.

So many good Kelly moments last night, especially in Darryl's office when she got pissed and knocked his papers off and did the W(hatever)/L(oser)/whatever else on her way out.

I loved the whole creepy farm feel during the bed and breakfast scenes too. When they roll up with Dwight in the rocking chair, perfect. A line that cracked me up (and I wouldn't be surprised if I was the only one) was when Jim asked Dwight if Mose had nightmares often and Dwight ominously responds "Ever since the storm."

One thing that confused me was Michael's whole situation. In the beginning I was 100% under the impression that his financial difficulties were due to crazy Jan, not having a job and living off of him, getting the Porsche, etc. This started getting confusing later when Oscar is helping Michael and talks about the extranneous expenses like the bass fishing stuff. Then when Jan is put in a positive light at the end.. I was just completely confused. So Michael's whole problem stemmed from his OWN overspending and he hid it from Jan rather it being Jan's fault?

You should probably watch from the beginning, or at least some of the early episodes. Many of the jokes/lines today make little sense if you aren't familiar with the characters and their backstories.

Re: The Office Season 4 Ep 4
 
It certainly wasn't the funniest episode, but it made up for it with some good drama. I'm surprised to see so many people loving the whomever scene. I laughed, but it was nothing special.

kidcolin 10-19-2007 12:58 PM

Re: The Office Season 4 Ep 4
 
wezvidz,

What I made out of it was that Michael is just kind of a doofus with his money, but it didn't break him pre-Jan. He was a single bachelor making manager money (though there was that episode last season about how he had never gotten a raise because he never asked for one, but I think he got a fair raise after that). So he could afford to buy really dumb stuff. But with an unemployed Jan moving in with him, she pushed the finances way over the edge and he never adjusted and never told her to cool it.

Exactly. It's got to be really tough just to jump in. This show is all about the characters and if you don't know them well, the stuff isn't as funny.

BTW, I agree with many in this thread, one of the best episodes ever.

Jim: "It sounded like crying or ... moaning."

Dwight: "I'll have to look into that in the morning. Thank you for letting the staff know."

HAHAHAHA
