I almost forgot about this tonight. Definately gives me something to look forward to tonight.
I rewatched a lot of Seasons 1 and 2 on DVD over my XMas break. My brother had never seen the show and finished the 2 seasons in 3 days.

They are going to have to "make with the repeats" hard after February sweeps new episodes if they expect to finish in May though...

There was a part I didn;'t really get.. Towards the middle of the episode, the black guy who runs the warehouse pulls out an ipod and speaker system and says something like "alright, i found it. this is going to be a great day"... what was he referring to? was it a call back to another episode?

Fantastic episode tonight. Michael's slow walk up the steps was hilarious.
I think the Ipod harkened back to a Dirty Santa gift from the Christmas episode in 2005 (where Michael gave the temp Ryan a really expensive Ipod when everyone else was giving much cheaper gifts).

I don't think the iPod was a callback to anything really.
I just assumed it was something he had misplaced, upon finding it...well, it obviously made him happy. Cut to, Pam crying. I think it was just there to really drive home the fact that Pam really is in love with Jim and quite miserable about her situation at the moment.
That be said, if her and Roy get back together...just stay away from me, you've been warned.

I enjoyed the episode (except the whole Pam/Roy thing... yikes).
But there were some huge continuity issues I saw:
1) In the first talking head with Michael, there is like a beach out the window of his office.
2) Wasn't the entrance to the the Warehouse always on the opposite corner of the office? They kept going to where the elevator/exit is to go to warehouse this time.

So Angela is a vegetarian but is okay with killing a pig from a petting zoo? I guess her party planning committee takes priority over her vegetarian lifestyle.
I enjoyed the episode. My favorite part would probably have to be Michael telling Tobe "not now, not ever" in response to Tobe's request to talk. Tobe is quickly becoming my favorite character on the show. The way he sulks around the office and his constant depressive mood is hilarious to me. Poor guy, Michael simply hates him.

I thought it was a just okay episode overall. Some funny stuff, but some stuff fell kind of flat for me.
Good stuff: Michael's 'accidental' spilling of the beans about him and Jan, Packer (always hilarious), another Michael scene with Daryl (always hilarious), a few little tweaks in the Pam/Jim story, a few other isolated funny moments.
'Meh' stuff: opening meeting scene, the whole luau part which didn't seem to really pay off after such a long setup, the Jim/Karen argument which seemed underdeveloped, and (especially) the revelation of Jan being "nuts" about Michael, which kind of strains credulity in my opinion.

Seems perfectly reasonable in my opinion. She's extremely messed up, and he's available and uncomplicated.

I got the feeling that Jan hadn't seen the email when she visited Michael.
I'm not sure why Pam doesn't tell Jim. she couldn't admit her feelings for him before because of Roy but why can't she tell him how? IMO, Karen's not that big of an obstacle.
