Pretty funny episode. Jim putting Ryan in the closet was hilarious, and it was good to see Michael actually stand up for himself. I really wanted Oscar to go off on a rant though and actually list some great things they could do to save the company. Dammit, Oscar.

I guess Idris Elba wasn't available. It didn't make sense for Charles not to be there.
Oh, and it was GREAT to see the Chuck preview!

I enjoyed it, only I wish Oscar had spoken up and been a part of saving the day. Looks like D-M is in more trouble than we thought. I still think Jim's supermarket client idea might help save them--it was too random to throw in there last episode if not.

Although, the name 'Recyclops' was amusing, the rest of that opening was pretty bad.
Not much funny in this episode, other than Ryan getting put in the closet.
I guess Michael's expression when they entered the hall to a chorus of boos was kind of funny, too.

Yeah, I was disappointed, too.

Anyway, I'll step down from my political soapbox now and just say that this was a pretty decent episode in the middle of a season that's been far improved from the last few.

First time I've ever said this about an Office episode, but this one was just plain stupid and downright boring. One, maybe two laughs tops.

To anyone who found this episode disappointing, it's my fault. Typically, I work until 9pm on Thursdays so I usually have to watch down the road. Not last night. It seems like every time I get to watch an episode "live", it winds up being a disappointment. There were a few chuckles here and there but aside from those, this ep really didn't have much going for it.

Nice touch with the suite guards having handheld metal detectors.
DMI: down 6 7/8, trading at 1 1/8 (or whatever)

That last part with the stock price was a nice touch. I had to explain it to my friends though ;p.
This was an okay episode. I feel like the series is starting to be less "zany", which is a good thing. The first season was almost unwatchable.

Likewise. I've been enjoying this season more than most, apparently, but this was the worst episode of The Office since Phyllis' soulcrushingly unfunny wedding.
