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"?
Giles: I'm sure we're all perfectly safe. Dawn: We're safe. Right. And Spike built a robot Buffy to play checkers with. Tara: It sounded convincing when I thought it.

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

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Yep, I'm with you Jen - 'you are the superior being'. Bless!

Ann, that's a ferret.
The "sentient computer" subplot just kind of fizzled out. I kept expecting an update, say, around 8 p.m. showing the Web site way ahead because it kept selling while Dwight was kidnapping pizza delivery guys.
I have to agree with those that thought the kidnapping was so far over the top that it was painful. It's like the writers are setting Michael up. But who takes over if he goes?
My instinct says Ryan is heading for a fall. A big, big fall.
Andy's serenade was cute. Whether or not Angela agrees to go out with him (and I vote no -- the cast shouldn't be pairing off with each other, though I'd like to see Angela go out with, say, someone from Pam's art class), he at least deserves to be acknowledged as someone who Means It.

I found Andy's serenade incredibly tackly and horrible. But that's Just Me I suspect.
I reckon Ryan will go and Jan will return. It probably doesn't make much sense, but I can't figure out why Jan is still in the show otherwise.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
really? i thought it was the best yet this season. there were a ton of laugh out loud moments for me.
I'm with tiggy. This is the first hourlong that felt pretty successful as an hourlong and not two half-hours stuck together. Of course, we only have one more.
The kidnapping was a little over-the-top-ish, I agree.
I loved that Pam, despite agreeing to prank Dwight against her better intentions, still pulled out the ol' Pam move of making Dwight feel better at the end of it all. Aww. I love the way she looks and the way she sounds and basically everything about her.

This is me. This is the first time in recent memory a TV program has made me fall in love with a fictional character -- and I think that's the intention of the writers. So well done, writer peeps.

The last time I remember really falling for a fictional character was Claire in Generation X.
