I tend to enjoy the half hours more than the full hours. don't know why...
Dawn: I think a date should be in a real fancy restaurant, then champagne at a night club with a floor show, then ballroom dancing. Joyce: Unfortunately, we're not dating in a movie from the thirties.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
Yeah, an hour felt long, although Creed's thing about his age was priceless.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I thought it dragged a bit too, like the scene with Michael coming up with all kinds of bizarre animals to sacrifice ("and the body of a... porcupine") should have been much shorter. But I loved it all the same! I'm sad that Karen is gone, but I loved all the Jim/Pam sweetness, and their easy way with each other again. I wondered how long they'd draw out the are they/aren't they question, but it was very cute how terrible they both were at lying about it.
I was kind of horrified that Dwight killed Sprinkles! All those clawed-up bags of frozen french fries! Poor Angela. I sure hope those crazy kids can make it work.
I think my favorite moment of the night was Kelly's response when Michael asked if she was sure that Hindus don't worship Buddha. Ooh, which reminds me, why do you think Ryan was calling Dunder-Mifflin Scranton? I thought he seemed a little wistful, but I could be making it up. His talking head was pretty funny -- he's such a DICK, in a sort of Michael Scott way!

Ugly Betty:
HENRYYYYYYYYY! Yay! I have more coherent thoughts, but they were pretty much all wiped away by HENRYYYYY! And, okay, I love him even more now that I've seen him speaking Spanish. *fans self*

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Jim and Pam = cute as a basket of puppies. The joined talking head when the camera people outed them made me smile THIIIIIS BIG.
How much do I love it when the camera people become characters? THIIIIIS MUCH.
I have to say, the rest of the episode felt kind of draggy. I can't help thinking that this would have been a better, tighter episode without sacrificing all the emotional highs if it were 30 minutes long.
The previous hourlong episodes, I haven't had that much of a problem with. This one I agree felt long.
His talking head was pretty funny -- he's such a DICK, in a sort of Michael Scott way!
I loved that when he was talking on the phone to Michael, he sounded just like Jan. I think it showed that despite his being a horrid salesman, he can still be very professional in a corporate position.
And speaking of Jan...I continue not to like what they've done to her.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
How angry is Aimee?
holds arms open wide
Thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisssssss angry.

I FELL ASLEEP. ASLEEP. Smack dab in the middle. My last recollection is of Jan telling Pam to step off her man.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Ay, dios mio!

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Aimee, the episode is online at nbc.com I think
I agree, it started to drag in the middle. However, that said, I'm not really complaining -- they're only doing certain episodes as hour longs, which is a pretty wise move.
My little shipper heart melted when Jim and Pam held hands. My poor heart. I'm just glad these characters aren't in a Joss Whedon show otherwise I'd be flinching ever time Pam goes near a window.

Punishingly Intricate

I was worried that when she told the camera crew that they were in fact dating Jim would suddenly get cold feet and dump her! or something horrible. I anticipate doom, I guess.
