D-Ray Kenobi Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I thought it was allright. The house scene at the end was sweet, and Dwight's description of the perfect crime was the funniest bit. Though one reason I connect with the show so much is that it always seems to start out with relatable experiences before things get completely outlandish. For instance, my boss is sometimes prone to putting '911' in things that don't merit it. That grounding in reality before it gets overly silly is one reason I'll keep watching.

Super Dragon Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I don't think they went too far with Michael and Toby, when you think about the depression that Michael is in because of Holly being gone, and then this guy that he hated so much comes back and takes her spot, it kinda doesn't seem too far.

Jedi Cool Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Was there a new episode last night? We watched "Elf" cause we thought it was a rerun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mara Jade Skywalker Posted December 5, 2008 Author Share Posted December 5, 2008 It was new. I didn't like it. I'm sick of the Andy/Angela/Dwight nonsense. Picking between the new chairs or new copier was boring. I'm sorry to say it, but Jim/Pam together is getting to be a snoozefest. What happened to all their chemistry? I refuse to believe that these writers aren't good enough to give them chemistry even when they're in a relationship. Oh, well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cashmere Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I liked Jim and Pam in this one. I thought it was the most chemistry they've had in a long time. I do agree with R.CAllen, though. More Mose, please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NumberSix Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Now that we've had a chance to watch it at nbc.com... I liked Jim and Pam in this one. I thought it was the most chemistry they've had in a long time. I do agree with R.CAllen, though. More Mose, please! I approve of all of these statements. It was also nice to see Michael have at least one episode this season where he could be an idiot from start to finish without a single moment of warm fuzzy redemption. I was starting to miss those episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Cool Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Too true. From not understanding the concept of a surplus to buying a fur coat on credit because of his anticipated bonus, he was in true form. Loved the interaction between Andy, Angela and Dwight even though it is getting stale, too. But as for Jim and Pam, it was nice to see the rosey-romantic relationship encounter a real conflict.

D-Ray Kenobi Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 There's an awesome rumor floating around recently. The show will have an hour long episode immediately following the Super Bowl in February. It supposedly will feature a roast of Michael and will include his brother, rumored to be played by... Spoiler! --Click here to view--Stephen Colbert A bunch of the commenters on OfficeTally.com have been saying this lately, saying NBC is doing their best to keep it quiet and make it a big surprise.

R.CAllen Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 That sounds good. But would he really do that? It seems like the kind of thing he actually wouldn't do these days because of his other TV show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Cool Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Re: last night's episode: Show of hands of anyone who knew Phyllis was going to spill the beans on Dwight and Angela right after she walked away. But kudos to her to pointing out that Angela wasn't very nice to her when she was in charge of the Party-Planning Committee. I also thought Dwight was in his full-arrogant form again. Kudos to him. Selling those stupid Unicorn Princess dolls was hilarious. And poor Toby, trying to buy little Sasha's love, ending up with a black-skinned doll (on the other hand, little girls tend not to care about the doll's skin color. My little niece chose a black Barbie once because the doll had the "prettiest eyes") It's just funny to see Toby's reaction. Michael was, once again, in his true idiotic form - insisting on rehabilitating Meredith against her will. Lots of good moments: Jim creating collapsible wrapping paper furniture, Creek smoking the Hooka, Andy and the mandolin. Pure gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tank Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 That was no mandolin, twas a Sitar! But yeah, this episode was one of the few season that I felt was up to par. I think it's because Jim and Pam just were and we weren't worried about their relationship. Also, this episode had two of the greatest monologues this show has ever had. Andy's stand-up about all his nicknames in college, which ended with him "acing" his classes with straight Bs. and Dwight's talk on his family's version of an intervention. It had such a great reversal. "In my family we deal with addiction in a simple way" and he holds up a fist. You expect him to say something violent, but then he launches into "tolerance, education, patience, understand..." but then you get to number five "punching." gold.

Copper Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 First episode of the season that I loved! Everything about it was great. Jim and Pam were super cute without being annoying ("I knew it!" "no you didn't" "yes i did" "no you didn't" "It's Christmas" "... she knew it") The cold open was one of my favorites yet. So glad Phyllis spilled the beans, and also glad that she feels bad about it. So much good stuff. It's about time, OFFICE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tank Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 The cold open was one of my favorites yet. NOT TO NITPICK, but a cold open is when the show starts it's first act with credits running and goes to the first commercial break. A Teaser is when we get one scene as a hook, then we get the show open, usually followed by a commercial. Technically, this is what Office does, but they seem cold open-ish since they don't break for a commercial after the open. [/tv snob nerd] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
