This episode was non-stop laughs with a little bit of heart thrown in for good measure. I actually can't believe just how funny the episode was. And it opens the door for Holly to possibly return in the future. Was sad we didn't get to see her though; I thought she might show up at the office in the end, but I guess not.
There were so many good one-liners. Kevin thinking Meredith had a penis, Michael thinking the old lady was Helene, Andy saying he was going to put a condom on a pencil and that he couldn't use his penis because it wasn't even hard yet, the exchange between Michael and Holly on the phone and Dwight's reactions, Michael telling Donna he had H-I-R-P-E-E-S and her freaking out thinking he had given her AIDS.
Really great episode.

I didn't enjoy last week's like most here did (although i still need a 2nd viewing of it) but this one i liked start to finish. Even though Holly didn't appear the first phone call was great, classic Michael/Holly convo

You are high. The last two episodes were better than the entire last season combined. Not that that would take much.

I loved how unplanned pregnancy and risk both made it onto the "Pro" side of the list

Great episode all around. I can't see how someone would consider this a "downward spiral" still. The sex ed stuff was fantastic and hilarious with some memorable lines, Michael seeing all his ex girlfriends was great, and his message for Holly was genuine and sweet. The open was funny too when they were watching the facilities guy pick a weapon.
I really thought Holly was going to walk in while he was leaving that message.

great episode! Loved everything with Micheal and his ex's and loved the small conversation between him and Holly. They have such awesome chemistry. The stuff with Andy and everyone in the office was great too! Really liked seeing Andys Anger come back through as well.

Pam: What? No... way. No. Definitely not. Not cancer. It's just good to catch a Michael train of thought early before it derails and destroys the entire town.

Jim: "Can everybody see?" That line was awesome.
Great episode - nice mix of awkward and nice, and that might be the first non-Michael meeting in Office history.

The episodes from the last couple of weeks remind me of how good this show was in seasons 2 & 3.
Now that we've seen Andy's rage return, maybe we could get a bit of the old Machiavellian Andy as well...

I didn't like this one as much as the previous 3, but still good. I enjoyed the part when Meredith enters the break room, and Angella leaves, and then exhales.

Really enjoyed this one.
As Michael went from ex to ex, I kept thinking about that scene Spielberg kept saying he wanted to have in the fourth Indiana Jones movie where all of Indiana's ex-girlfriends - including Marion and Willie - would slap him. That scene never happened, but The Office nailed it and in a way that's relevant to character growth for Michael and something new for his story. With due respect, that's better than any cute little joke Spielberg was thinking about doing with Indy (and maybe he knew it and that's why he didn't do it).

And it sets up Michael ending his run on the show being with Holly. Because that shit has to happen. Those retards are made for each other and I love it.
