i actually do like andy's character, but i guess i hadn't given much thought to the personality switch, crediting it to the anger management. that's why i was thrown by his reaction when he found out about angela and dwight. i was expecting him to fly off the handle and punch through a wall again or something.
the duel was hilarious, though. "i think my leg's falling asleep". angela's getting what she deserves.
I think what was more tragic was Dwight's change from socially awkward power-hungry corporate goon to socially awkward eh-i'll-just-do-whatever-the-fuck-I-want goon.Originally Posted by Animeniax
Also, I still wish Michael fired Creed back in season 1.

Creed is awesome.
Latest episode was pretty good. The Michael/Dwight excursion was great, showed us some more of Michael's good guy side. The office antics while the boss is away was funny too.

Where the dreamer and his dream?
I didn't think much of this episode, though the Michael/Dwight portions were good. I really could care less about the whole Swank debate... I really didn't find much funny in it.
Shrug, one man's meat is another man's murder. It may not have been that funny but it was a depiction of how much time is wasted in your typical working office on nonsense, kind of like the office olympics from season 1. I think they could have worked a better angle on it, but the Michael/Dwight parts were endearing and funny.
I wonder what office romance they'll add next to spice things up? And where has Ryan been since Pam came back as the receptionist?

I have no clue where Ryan is... probably scoring some drugs somewhere. As for the next romance, I don't know but probably they'll keep exploring the Pam/Jim relationship as they get closer to the wedding; maybe have some 'Meet the Parents' moments. They'll probably bring Holly back, if they can sign the actress up, for some episodes. And I don't think the Dwight/Angela thing is done yet.
Maybe they'll make Andy gay and explore something with Oscar, remember they bonded on their road trip with Michael.
I read somewhere that Ryan was taking time off of the show. He is one of their writers actually from what I remember.

He should go get a job at a small business office somewhere to get some more story ideas for the show. To be completely honest, without the office romances, as in real life, the show gets kind of boring.

I agree with that to an extent. Always cool to see pranks and random office ongoings every now and again.
About last weeks ep; I really didnt think that Michael was going to turn in that information...

I like the pranks when Dwight or Andy do something to deserve it, but sometimes Jim just seems like an assh*le who screws with people, especially when they start the show with a prank. Dwight's been more likable lately, so unless he does something obnoxious, he doesn't deserve the pranks.
I didn't think Michael would do it either, but I can see more storylines developing because of it than if he had made up some excuse and not turned in the info.

The pranks on Dwight are priceless, and really the last one was unwarranted, but if he would have just let it go it wouldnt have been that big of a deal. It is the fact that he takes it to the next level and has to look for the 500 ft of wire that makes it that much funnier!

So, who watched the Superbowl Special Episode last Sunday? I thought it was hilarious, Dwight is completely nuts. I really couldn't stop laughing through most of the episode, good stuff in my opinion.
I just saw it, excellent episode. Dwight is masterful and on top of his game and really makes this episode hilarious. You get everything you expect from him.
I didn't like how dumb they made Michael in the early going, mistaking simple things like "thirty-five hundred" for "five thousand three hundred" and other nonsense like that. They've always done a good job of making his misunderstandings plausible and funny, but in this episode it was just obnoxious at times, though some of it was funny.
They should have extended the Pam and Jim story over the next few episodes, and the payoff could have been that much more endearing after a couple episodes of tension and heartache between them.

Michael's gay jokes were particularly good in this episode... they cracked me up every one of them.
I was surprised at how offensive the jokes were. I thought the FCC would be all over funny jokes that aren't PC. I'm sure the show will get some flack from various anti-defamation groups.
Michael saying Jim is 6'11" and weighs 90lbs was gold.
edit: just watched it again, Dwight's "Silence of the Lambs" scene was hilarious. The fake movie was funny too. Gross but funny.

Anyone see last episode? Good episode, particularly the Michael/Pam/Karen part, and the Jim/Dwight/Kelly side story. Making Jim and Dwight the party planner committee is great and has a lot of potential for hilarity. Also the Karen/Pam stuff was sweet.
The part I didn't care for is Dwight with the client. There were some funny moments, but don't try to force me to believe a white yuppie from Cornell would be interested in a black chick, hot or not, and she wasn't hot. It's almost as bad as in the first episode of this one show "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" where the same thing happens.
Next episode should reintroduce Holly and Michael and continue the party planning committee fun.

Yep, last week's episode was golden. You pretty much said everything that needed to be said. Except for that racial crap you put in there.
I wonder how long this Holly arc will be, or if she's only making a 1 episode appearance.
I loved that Dwight line "What kind of cake, dumbass?" or something like that. For some reason that scene made me laugh quite a bit.
It wasn't meant to be racial, just real. I'm tired of Hollywood PC crap misrepresenting reality.
I also don't like where they've decided to take the Andy Bernard character. They need another schemer in the office so when Jim messes with him it's funny. Instead we get another dolt who you just feel sorry for.
Michael's relationship troubles have been a good laugh, so maybe they'll draw out the Holly story, though since it's a relatively healthy relationship, it might go the way of Pam and Jim, where it's no longer really a storyline.

This season is so much better than last season.
