The Office: 10/04/07

[Sluss]

I agree the hour is too long. A good show should leave you wanting more.

Garbage the ferrel barn cat cracked me up.

The lake thing was very funny to me, but more because that was a perfect replica of that exact intersection. And I'm starting to become that dork that spots out all of the real Scranton stuff.

The Jim mugs were pretty good this week. The Kevin on Andy's heels was a bit anoying.

So funny. This episode was funny if you wanted it to be funny, and not funny if you wanted to not like it. Eye of the beholder, and so on.

The cut to Creed on the printer ink line was TREEEmendous, and the type of thing that makes this show so amazing. Meanwhile, there is still a lot of groundwork being laid, with the new dynamics in place (Dwight-Angela split, Jim-Pam relationship, Ryan-Michael reversing boss/subordinate roll, Michael-Jan living arrangement). Things like Ryan trying to act "too cool" in his new position, and trying to use it to get Pam, and him having trouble reigning in Michael are all necessary to make future plotlines work. So be patient!

solid episode imo, better than premiere. Last scene with michael/dwight in the lawyer office was just brutal though. Jim/pam couldn't be more cutesy if they wore bunny costumes to work but after 3 years of angst I guess they deserve it, though the "is the magic over" scene was lame as hell. Surprised to see them get outted already tbh, lots of comic potential they missed out on, i.e. the ryan hitting on pam scene would have been a lot more awesome if they were still hiding it. Well whatever.

agree with most of this. also, I missed about 30 seconds due to laughing when Dwight called "Garbage" "useful". that killed me for some reason. so perfect.

I really laughed hard at the Dwight riff about trying to visit Grandpa Mannheim in Brazil. Wow was that awesome.

Also, am I the only one who thinks Kelly is awesome and hilarious? "I've been dating a LOT of guys. Black guys, mostly."

Still can't wait for Andy to seduce Angela with acappella groovz yo.

I enjoyed this, but unlike most eps, I realized that it had been about 45 minutes and I had not laughed outwardly but once (Kelly's "no" headshake after she told Ryan she was pregnant). It was just kinda more low key and I think they missed on some of the big laugh moments.

The Pam/Jim stuff is [censored] adorable, I love how they're handling that.

Also another ep where Michael is just a little too over the top.

Ridiculous. I called WMCTV. Their crappy election coverage also prevented the entire episode from being in HD.

FWIW, it was Argentina DrewDevil. And yes, the I'm dating mostly black guys line was funny.

I feel this is the major problem now that and its just sort of b/c they spend too much time focusing on him

I really didnt get the end lawyer scene and ti seemed not the best to me, but somewhat surprised by everyone hating the lake scene. I had no problem with the lake scene, although its maybe because i know people who would do v similar stuff to that and would prob drive there car a little bit into the lake before stopping.

I loved how dwight was all excited when angela wanted to have dinner with him "somewhere in public."

Lake scene sucked. Still loved the episode.
