I suspect the surreality that Laga has trouble accepting was Brother Mose (Mo? Moe? Moes?) at the Schrute Farm, whom I personally expected was going to be Rainn Wilson dressed up in a beard.

However, my surreality meter had already gone into the red (in the good way) by Earl, including H.R. Pufnstuff in Randy's fantasy, then the whole Crab Rap scene, which sure sounded like Eddie Steeples singing and just showed off the moves of the whole cast, too.

That was the bleakest episode of The Office ever.

Best. Earl. EVER.

I wanted to slap Jan in the face whehn she started yelling at Michael about being so irresponsible with his money.

this isn't the first time we saw Mose though. he was in the ep when Dwight took Ryan to his farm to "initiate" him.

Don't forget Joy flying through the air and PUNCHING A CROW.

Yep. And he's played by one of the writers! Oh, writers.

Also, note to Paul Lieberstein: it was a direct object, not an indirect object.

P-C, he was talking about the use of "whomever" in Ryan's sentence. It was an indirect object. "...communicate it to whomever..."

I agree with Jesse - very bleak. Dwight and his keening about killed me. And I loved Jim's "I've been there, and I'm sorry you're there," speech to him on the stairs, though poor Dwight when he reached out and Jim was gone.

Am looking forward to the return of the half hour format.

Wait, what I meant was that it's the object of a preposition.

So funny, yet so sad.

I believe not next week, but the week after's episode is directed by Joss.

That's worth a big woohoo!

Structurally, I think these 1 hour episodes will play better when they're split into halves and trimmed a bit tighter.

FYI, The Big Bang Theory has received a full season order.
