I thought this ep was better than the last few weeks, if not especially hilarious. It was good to see Dwight more in the background again, where he is much funnier. Also, Michael making an ass of himself (yet again) in his attempt to impress a woman.
The little storyline with Pam and Roy was nice, too. Jenna Fischer is gold, and has seemed to stay truer to the tone of her character than some of the others in the cast so far this season. Still not feeling it for the Stamford people though. I had hopes at the beginning of the first Stamford scene when Andy seemed a bit toned down from previous weeks. Then the whole jager drinking scene just fell flat for me. |
Fantastic episode. The meeting scene alone made this one a winner.
Angela: (to Kelly) How many gods do you have? And that blue busty gal? What's her story? Kevin: She looks like Pam from the neck down. Dwight: Heh-heh...Pam wishes. (stunned look from Pam, laughter) Michael: (to Dwight's explanation of the history of Diwali) All right, all right...this isn't Lord of the Rings. Michael: M. Night Shyamalan...The Village, Unbreakable, The Sixth Sense... Dwight: I see dead people. Michael: Okay! (muttering) ...spoiler alert... Dwight: He was dead the whole time. Michael: Just stop it! |
I can definitely see next week opening with Jim waking up in bed with Karen and he checks his phone and sees his text message from Pam. Loved the ep overall, a definite improvement over the last couple of episodes. I don't know about the rest of you, but when Michael talked to Kelly's parents and then headed towards the microphone, I knew what was going to happen, and literally covered my face with my hands throughout the entire proposal; just hearing it was painful enough. |

B.J.'s line about wanting to travel and purchase an XBOX were hilarious. Kelly's parents' reaction was funny as well.

Loved the XBOX line. Poor Ryan.
What was it that the Indian guy said to Pam after she said she couldn't believe what Michael did? After he replied, she excused herself to go text Jim. I really think that Michael is going to get bumped down to salesman again, since it is obviously something he is very good at. If Chip is not the manager of the combined branches, I think that it will be Jim. |
"These... are not my shoes"
I laughed so hard at that, and I was actually hoping that it would be the only line of that car scene. Just that, the uncomfortable silence, then cutting away to Jim/Karen. |
The "Diwali Song" was possibly the funniest moment this show has had to date. I had tears coming from my eyes. The only problem was that Michael isn't that funny.

(I'm sure he meant the 360.) |

Michael's dancing was gold.

Great Episode.
And just because this forum isn't overflowing with praise for this season, doesn't mean sqwat. I think the show is as great as ever, and I haven't posted any comments so far this year. People tend to bitch when they are unhappy and not say anything when they are happy. I want the Diwali song on my iPod. |

Really funny part for me was that the crowd actually loved it; I was expecting to see jaw-dropping, open-mouthed shock on everyone...... |
Nice wreck on Jim.
Nick rack on Pam. |
Too many funny bits, as were mentioned, from the "meeting" to "and an Xbox" to Michael's song at the end. Just golden all the way around.
They'll keep the Karen-Jim thing going as a tease, I figure. |

I had forgot about the Xbox line. That was great.
Also the beginning when Michael's making fun of Ryan for what he's wearing. Then, Pam and Kelly start saying how good Ryan looks in it, and Michael asks 'Where..where's mine?'. rotfl |
On a side note, apparently those were actually Mindy Kaling's parents.

pam looked good this episode

Great episode and a huge improvement over the last one. The Stamford stuff was only so-so humorwise this week but I think it did a good job of opening up a new level to the Jim/Karen relationship.
