I really liked last night's Office even though the laughs were at a minimum. And though even I figured out what Dwight was doing with the "run-through" with Conrad.

I think the real genius was that Michael was so thoroughly Michael. And yet, nothing he did screamed out for a lawsuit.

That had to have been my favorite ep in a really long time. Everything was just awesome and I sat gape-mouthed when Jim took those copies to Pam at the end. LOVED IT. Way to put her own attemps at manipulation back at her!!!

Michael was such a punk...although completely in character.

I just wonder when Jim and Pam are going to explode. Not so much because of the way they manipulated each other last night. But add that Jim bought them a house without even letting her know beforehand, and I wonder if we're seeing the first little signs of trouble.

I was really surprised chairs won out in the end. I have never wanted to kill my chair, not even the slowly sinking one.

And Oscar's reasoning was priceless.

Me too. But I figured that there was always more comedy to be mined from a shitty copier.

And Oscar's reasoning was priceless.

Right? God, Oscar was great last night. "You know, don't you."

Oscar made the episode for me. I loved the whole thing, though. I loved Jim and Pam's interaction. Michael's story didn't make me want to bang my head on the endtable. The real marriage was over the top, but I'm looking at the whole triangle like a parody of Jim/Pam/Roy, and I think this episode was Dwight/Andy/Angela's "Casino Night."

I'm still mad at Oscar for the microwave thing.

I think The Office has really hit back on form this year. It's five seasons in but I think the episodes are getting back to the funny now.
