Agreed, it felt like they had enough for maybe 1.5 episodes, but they stretched it to 2. It might have been better if they had crammed all that into 1 episode.
They did set it up for future storylines with the Holly/Michael relationship still blooming and the Jim/Dwight/party planning committee, but I felt they ended the Karen/Pam conflict too soon and too cleanly. I'd love to see more inter-office competition, led by Karen and Michael's branches.
And I'm still wondering who got Ryan's corporate job, and when he or she will be introduced to add some wackiness.
Also I wonder why they didn't go with a Valentine's Day theme this episode.

Holy shit, who thought Michael Scott had it in him to be such a gangster? That dude, out of nowhere, told the CFO what it really do with the shareholders and then said if he wants to get all up in their bidness, Pam gets a sales job and Ryan gets a job too... with benefits and all that shit. Wow. So fucking awesome.
I was so scared he would mess everything up horribly.

Nicely played Michael Scott. Nicely played.

LMFAO YEAH I KNOW!Originally Posted by Sapphire
The best part was when Dwight was actually right and about to blow their whole cover up but Jim played it off like Dwight was a kooky douchebag so that nobody should believe him. It was just so good.
Next time David will answer each and every Michael Scott call personally. They might even give him his own direct line.
Michael Scott just made him his bitch, for life!
Last night's episode had a couple of good moments.
I especially liked the one with Meredith and the skank dress. I also liked the fake firing scene.
Other than that, it was a so-so episode.
That was awesome...
"Meredith! Where are your underwear?!"
"What? It is casual day!"

Season finale was aight...
Pam is preggo, Michael let Holly go (kind of), Meredith got drunk, Dwight defended Angela.

I didn't care much for the finale myself to tell you the truth, though I would've liked to see the conclusion of the volleyball game. Looking forward to what the new baby will bring to the show.
I just wonder how long it will take for Pam and Jim's relationship to have some trouble again. Seems like no one stays happy forever on TV, simply because it just isnt good TV.

Just a heads up, season 6 starts tomorrow. Here's a promo:

Just watched the first 2 episodes, and I really liked them. Really funny in my opinion, particularly the first episode with Michael spreading all those rumors and Andy questioning wether he was gay or not. Got start to the season as far as I'm concerned.
So Jim now is co-manager, I wonder how that will affect Michael who just got "promoted" to co-manager.
One thing I really miss, although I still love the show, is Jim and Pam playing pranks on Dwight. Jim is all seri0s now, perhaps because he's trying to get ahead and becoming a father, but it's kind of disappointing as that's where a lot of the humor came from; at least with his character.
I think the show is missing the romance angle. For most of the previous 5 seasons, there was a coupling or romantic connection between at least a few of the characters. Now the only one is the blissful Jim/Pam relationship, but bliss doesn't make for entertaining storylines.
Maybe it's time for someone to shack up with the new cute receptionist. Though who in the office would have the chemistry with Erin? Or they'll introduce another interesting female to the show. The intern chick was kind of hot.

I kind of detest the romance. Really, the only one I absolutely adored was Michael and Holly. I don't think I've seen a cuter more awkward and hilarious relationship. It was awesome and then they go and rip it away from us. D: Jim and Pam is just, ehhh...
You didn't enjoy the Dwight/Andy/Angela love triangle? And early Jim/Pam was great. Blissful Jim/Pam not so much.

Dwight/Andy/Angela was okay, but only as ha ha funny entertainment; not 'omg, that's so sweet, i'm in love!'
The only relationship I actually thought was interesting and done uniquely was Michael and Holly's. I really detest romance and all that disgusting BS, but this I was touched by, even if it was awkward and sad.
I'm fine with no real romance at the moment, we've had plenty of it during the previous seasons. We'll have something in time.
This weeks episode was kinda boring, not funny at all. At least we saw Jim in his new role and how the relationship between him and Michael will change. So, while probably a necessary episode to establish Jim as a boss, I didn't find it particularly funny.
A lot of the Office's charm is not it's comedy. In fact I think sometimes they ruin good character development scenes with ill-timed or self-defacing humor. That's why I like the romantic entanglements as much as the funny stuff.
I liked this week's episode. It was entirely relationship/character development, but helped you sympathize better with Michael, though it started out badly for him.
