This was a good episode, in that I only had to fast-forward through one part--the bit where Michael was trying to force others to walk along the coals but couldn't man up to do it himself.

SA, that was one part where I thought, "Hm, if this weren't a supersized episode, maybe this wouldn't be taking so long." Usually, I don't have a problem with the longer episodes; I don't notice the filler and just appreciate the extra funny.

Do we get another 40 minutes next week?

We get an HOUR. Which may be what we get all next season. I wonder if they double everyone's salaries if that happens.

Oh, you know, I think I could go for having an hour of The Office every week.

I don't know if I want the Office to be an hour-long show. I like the idea of MORE Office for sure but it works so well with that 1/2 hour (or 22 minute) constraint. I worry it will get too flabby.

Toby's big crime with Michael is thinking like an adult. Go, Pam!

Watch it again and again and again. It's perfect every time.

I read that NBC announced there would be 24 episodes next season, with four of those being an hour long. I might have read this early today. My brain is still pretty much all PAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! with a side of: Sunil, you have e-mail.

Not bad.

I did the coal walk! Just...I did it. Michael, you couldn't even do that. Maybe I should be your boss.

Wow I feel really good right now.

Why didn't any of you come to my art show? I invited all of you! That really sucked. It's like sometimes some of you act like I don't even exist.

Jim, I called off my wedding because of you. And now we're not even friends. And things are just -- like -- weird between us and that sucks. And I miss you. You were my best friend before you went to Stamford. I really miss you.

I shouldn't have been with Roy. And there were a lot of reasons to call off my wedding, but the truth is I didn't care about any of those reasons until I met you, and now you're with someone else, and that's fine, it's -- whatever -- that's not what I'm -- I'm not...

Okay, my feet really hurt.

The thing that I'm just trying to say to you Jim, and to everyone else in the circle I guess, is that I miss having fun with you. Just you, not everyone in the circle. Okay. I am gonna go walk in the water now. Yeah. It's a good day.

Pam! That was amazing! But I am still looking for someone with a sales background.

didn't it say there would be deleted scenes from last night's ep on the official site? they're slow!
