I thought the opening scene was the best of the hour...Andy: "OH COME ON!!" when the square just missed the corner, and all their comments, including Kevin's "That was awesome" timed just perfectly. Genius.

When Jim signed Meredith's cast, my wife swears he signed it as "John Krasinski".
I also think a thread title change is appropriate.

It seemed to me B.J. Novak was trying to act coked up.

He had all the great marketing buzzwords from 5 years ago at the tip of his tongue. I love that they have just made him a complete douchebag.

I thought it was good to see Ryan get busted while weaseling into the corner office.
Angela was particularly hot in this episode. I love the little smiles she gives while avoiding looking at the camera.
HATED the pizza guy hostage business. It could've been okay if it was a lot shorter, or handled differently.
"Oh no. It's bad. It's reeeeeal bad. It's like eating a hot circle of garbage."

That's what I read into it anyway...
But then, I'm looking for things to interest me. I still watch it and find a lot of the jokes funny, but I really don't give two shits about any of the characters, with a particularly low tolerance for Steve Carrell's buffoonery.

I thought it was a pretty good episode from start to finish. Kevin was definitely on fire in this episode. One qualm, though...I'm not even sure why anyone thought the Meredith cast-gag was realistic. If she had a broken pelvis I'm pretty sure a cast isn't going to stop it. Am I reading too much into this?
Also, I've done the same thing with the DVD square. That was awesome.

Watching what this show has become proves more and more how much a genius Ricky Gervais was for cutting the British Office off after 14 episodes. I watched the whole British series again last weekend and less was definitely more for this show.
The show never ran into competely contrived plotlines like the pizza boy hostage. And the main office romance never got boring like Jim and Pam have already become.
The characters are still great but the plots seem like they're just crazy time fillers for Michael to go apeshit.
This show has jumped the shark for me.

Probably so they can auction it of for something.

At 9 p.m., CBS' "CSI" (12.3/19) held onto its overall title, but ABC's "Grey's Anatomy," 12.1/18, narrowed the gap from last week. NBC moved up to third with "The Office," 5.2/8. "Don't Forget the Lyrics" kept FOX ahead of The CW's "Supernatural," 2.0/3.

Outside of the hostage thing, this was a pretty good episode. But the pizza delivery kid was pretty funny ("Yeah, I know him. He's that farmer that grows really crappy weed." )
So far this season, I don't like the way Michael's being written. It's like they're taking the way he behaved at Phyllis's wedding and making that the "new" Michael. He's always been a douche OR a moron, but now he's constantly being a douche AND a moron. It just doesn't fit with his original "I want everyone to be my friend (except for Toby)" way of life. Michael's quickly become my least-favorite character and really the only character of the show that I can't stand.
