I thought so too. The only thing I didn't like about it was how it is a bit of a re-hashing of the Michael Scott Paper Company storyline. I realize there are differences, and we don't know the outcome yet, but it does have obvious parallels.
It took me a minute to place 'Andy Bellefleur' from True Blood.

Yeah, he really slimmed down. I guess being the portly guy on a cast filled with super good looking well-built guys is bound to make someone break out the P90X DVDs.
Maybe this season we will finally get to see some Sheriff Bellefleur peen!

I actually pulled a drunken 'Robert' once (voice-mail to Nellie).
It was a girl I was seeing. The next morning she left a message telling me she was thinking about what I asked last night and the answer was 'yes'. I avoided her like the plague and somehow skirted the answer to whatever question I posed.
I was afraid I was engaged but wonder now if she agreed to a three-way with her friend. Will never know.

The funniest line of the night for me was when Robert said he spent all night consuming "Australian reds...and Colombian whites."
I can't believe they're going to that well again so soon. Okay, maybe I can. We'll just have to see where they take it.

Yeah, sounds like they're working their way back to the way it was before.
Better episode then in recent weeks. Less Nellie probably helps that. Dwight and Jim were great as always racing to the client.

Pam has a thing about buddying up to the dysfunctional bosses. She may be just a little bit of a brown noser.

While I miss the greatness this show once had I didn't mind this ep.
Some nice Dwight/Jim stuff, Toby's new alter-ego and even a remarkably subdued Nellie (with a C plot that almost made her sympathetic for a microsecond).

That pretty well captures my thoughts. While still not great, this was definitely a step up from previous weeks.

Whoah, WHAT? That was Frank Sobotka? Okay now I get the big deal about the weight loss.
But we did at least have Stringer on the show. Too bad he and Tim Olyphant probably won't be seen again.

I thought this was a great episode, far superior to other recent ones even though they did help set the story. Plenty of great lines/moments. Another great cold open too.

A funny episode, but the season as a whole has been very inconsistent.
For how much the show has a strong ensemble cast, I think the series really misses having that character who is the center of the show. Andy just doesn't fit that role the way that Michael Scott did. As it looks more and more like the show will get another season, I think they really need to get a new focal character to lead the show and I don''t think it's any of the existing characters. (And, for however much I generally enjoy Catherine Tate, I'm ready for Nellie to ship out.) With Spader not coming back next season, Dwight getting spun off into his own show, and the likelihood of a number of the other actors not coming back, it's time for them to find a new permanent lead for the show.

Yeah it was cool seeing David wallace again. He came along way from when Michael went to his house and he was in bad shape which made Michael run away from him
