I thought it was funny(kidnapped pizza boy) but kind of too bad at the same time, as most of what I like most about the show is the relatability thing. I liked Andy's serenade especially because I just watched the Rockin' Robin cellphone episode this week so it was a funny callback.

Michael has been too watch-from-the-hall for me this year--seriously, I hid my face during the worst moments of the delivery boy kidnapping and last week's breakdown in the former client's office as if it were Shelob up on the screen. It's over-the-top, and for me it kind of breaks the emotional realism of the show--the sense that what's going on onscreen is only a little weirder than life in my own workplace. But I'm enjoying all the other characters and threads.

OMG what about Darryl & Kelly?!!

That would be awesome! Sooo different from Ryan and sooo much better.

Somehow I picture the sentence "Woman, you're on my last nerve," coming up a lot.

Loved Andy's serenade. Loved it. Endearing. That's not something I ever thought I'd say about Andy. And his friends being all, "So, what'd she say?" Really, very sweet. As was Angela's smile despite herself.

I agree that they might want to pull back on Michael a bit. The breakdown in the client's office last week was too much for me. Though his, "Oh, my god we kidnapped a pizza boy what the hell are we gonna do???" realization made me laugh. I loved the last bit where the random work guy congratulated him on calling out Ryan. That was classic.

I also enjoyed the "I told you not to film these things in my office," to Ryan at corporate. Oh, the cracks are showing, dear boy.

Oh, yes! And all his throwing around of business lingo was very Michael Scott...or, actually, more David Brent. Nice! In a painful way.

What was Dwight's line about the computer contest? Something like "The computer said it was bested by me, but in reality, it was I who bested the computer"?

Oh, oh! And I loved Pam's compassion for Dwight, even as it waxed and wained (ETA: I mean waned).
