I was disappointed by The Office last night. Too much advancing the story lines, not enough funny. Almost soap opera.
Okay, the "let's hang around while Michael tells his mother he's engaged to Holly" part was pretty good.
It's possible that he's in the land of perpetual Wednesday, or the crazy melty land, or you know, the world without shrimp.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Really? I thought it was really funny. While advancing the storylines. Jim and Pam on Blueteeth was gold. "That's what she said! THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID! THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!"

Punishingly Intricate
Really? I thought it was really funny.
I did too! I miss Amy Ryan of course but it may have been my favorite episode so far this season. All the picture mugs!

I liked it, too. The love triangle is headed for tragedy, though. I don't want to feel bad for Andy!

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Hee, that was totally my favorite part too, P-C. I enjoyed the episode muchly. Anytime Kelly gets a decent amount of screentime makes me happy.

That was awesome.

Right?? It's so sad.
Hee, that was totally my favorite part too, P-C.
Why can't I marry her? Whyyyyy.
The episode was directed by Stephen Merchant, of the British version.

He is a very tall man.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I felt whiplash from Kelly's involvement. First she gets hosed over the bridesmaid dress (raising the sympathy level), then she turns into the villain of the Jim and Dwight storyline.

"That's what she said! THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID! THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!"
Oh, my god, that made me laugh so... much. She played that perfectly.
I loved Michael's empathy with Kelly about getting anyone to come over to his place, and it was also sad.
Jim realizing the conspiracy with the star face mugs was priceless.
I feel sorry for Andy, and Dwight and Angela's behavior is despicable. Needless to say.
I liked last night's ep a lot.
Oh! Oh! And Darryl offering to pay the out-of-pocket for Michael's therapy. Awesome.

Always Anti-fascist!
Haven't seen this one yet, but I love Darryl, in general.
