I thought last week's episode put an end to the mini-slump the show had been mini-enduring since Phyllis's Wedding. There were impressions and B-A-N-A-N-A-S and "Beer me the CD" and "It's my job to inspect the stock once a week and it's unfortunate this happened the year I took off". And the stories unfolded with pithy grace. And Creed's actions were a nice little hidden razor blade of a kicker.
I think that's the most absurd Michael's been, at least in a setting where I couldn't buy into the behavior, even coming from Michael.
The only time I haven't bought Michael's behaviour over an extended time was the second last episode with the threatening to jump from a four-storey building onto a trampoline. That was frightfully cartoonish.
And, as much as I want to hate Karen: I kinda like her.
She's my favourite of the three. Some of that is down to my contrariness but mostly, and this is very punk rock of me, it's because she's very together and, for me, there's no more attractive feature in a person.
Late because I only tiptoe in here every once in a while and lurk.
You may know her from such cancelled hits as
Popular
and
Life as We Know It
and of course
Profit.

I'll forgive the trampoline because that episode managed to ride the fine line of comedy dealing with depression without falling off.

Oh, she was the secretary on Profit! She's awesome.
Yeah, thought it was funny. But I'm a sick fucker.
And Michael totally thinks everything is about him.
But it's not really like "You're so Vain"...more like "You're So Needy,"
Lord beer me strength is my favorite. Oh, Halpert!
How I Met Your Mother--oh, Barney, bless. You thought Bob Barker was your dad! How awesome is that?
Oh, Barney.
And now I'm super excited for Marshmallow and Lily Pad's wedding. I'm crying already.
There were impressions and B-A-N-A-N-A-S
Oh, my god, B-A-N-A-N-A-S made me howl. And I've already stated my love for "Lord, beer me strength." The look on Jim's face...
The building/trampoline thing from mumble-ep was quite over-the-top, but I loved the moment when Jim and Pam realized what he was planning - they did such a fantastic job of changing tone in that split second of recognition. Awesome.

Yes! and also it showed how they still understand each other so well, even if they aren't really talking right now.
