Synopsis:



Episode 19 of ???

fumanstan

Ugh, why is there still Nellie!

astrochimp

I haven't been a big fan of her but i really liked her in this one.

Great episode

grenier

Well, that was bad.

magiccmom

Nellie sucks whatever life is left in this show right out of if. So bad.

stopgap

Completely agree.

I understand her purpose is to be an annoying baddie but end her storyline ASAP.

OscarBluth

This new Office spin-off is lame. None of the original cast get A/B storylines, just background character work. At least they got rid of Cathy. I hope Gabe is next.

fumanstan

This season has had its ups and downs, but Catherine Tate sucks so much.

Howie2000

I like Catherine Tate but here she doesn't work. This episode was a huge step down from the last few.

SpanishTechno

Didn't like this one. Even though I thought Nellie was a little funnier than usual here, the idea of her just coming in and Robert letting her take over the branch didn't really work for me. How many strange, unconventional bosses does this show need?

The Andy/Erin thing was equally bad. "Andy, you came to get me! But, you broke my heart so I won't be coming back with you. Actually, I changed my mind, we should be together!". And Andy still hasn't broken up with his girlfriend? These plots are a mess.

There were a few good jokes scattered here and there but not nearly enough.

CPA-ESQ.

I too hope that she is out of the main story line soon.. She was not that bad in this one. I like how everyone was united against her.. but she should fade into the background and pop up every now and then like Packer

madcougar

The entire episode was a mess, but she sucks the hardest.

JuryDuty

I don't mind Nellie. She has a David Brent vibe to her (from the original UK Office).

Loved Erin's take on toothbrushes at the end.

scoot95

That's What she said......

Sex Fiend

They clearly has no idea which way to go since Carell left, so they seem to be throwing just about everything at the wall to see what will stick. They had an established formula which, while it had gotten stale over the years, at least kind of worked within the increasingly limited ambitions of the show. I think it needs to just be put out to pasture now.

RavenTwo

Oh my, this was terrible

SuperJim88

Why was the shot after Erin got the paper shot in front of a blue screen? It was so obvious the shot was done indoor. That is freaking weird.

fumanstan

I noticed that too. I wonder if they filmed it later on or something.

SpanishTechno

I noticed that too, it was pretty glaring. Maybe they needed the extra shot after they left the location.

I've enjoyed many of this season's episodes but it seems like the writers didn't have a good plan of where there were going this season, and it's really starting to show. There's been so many abrupt and nonsensical shifts... Erin suddenly moving in with the old lady in Florida, Andy driving hundreds of miles to get her back without even taking the day off or talking to his girlfriend, the Sabre store thing suddenly shut down, Nellie showing up and taking Andy's job. There's a difference between a plot twist and "what the hell are they doing?"

windom

Between that and Andy shaving in the ocean, I would be concerned for the welfare of their kids if they ever had any.

Osiris3657

You don't know how to use this joke.

andicus

Yeah, not a great episode. A couple laughs, I suppose. Erin re-using the hot dog water for more flavour was funny, as was Darryl dragging Dwight out of his office by his hair.

Gunde

Absolutely dreadful episode. Ugh.

Double_Oh_7

That's what she said.

Kory

The show had been on a roll for at least the last five or six episodes before this one brought it all to a screeching halt. Nellie is the worst.
