What ever happened to that whole web franchise contest they had... is that still going on, where the viewers could form their own Dunder Mifflin Infinity branches online?

To those of you that live in NYC can you give me any idea how much that "Friends" apartment would cost?

I thought they covered themselves on Friends by saying they were grandfathered in on some sort of subsidized housing deal left by Monica's parents or something.

That place had to cost some major change though.

Oddly, overall, I didn't think the episode as a whole was great, but it had some of the funniest single moments.
Toby's Costa Rica thing followed by jumping the fence was awesomely awkward. Some great one liners, too.

I've been in apartments where the rent is $6000 and the apartment was halfway between Ryan's apartment and the Friends apartment in size.

Ryan is really in trouble. No one has mentioned the reason he wanted the staff to work on Saturday. The website is tanking, and he was going to use the Scranton staff to basically enter all their sales as web sales which Ryan can then take credit for. It will essentially double the sales for Scranton in the books while the actual inventory stays unchanged. The snowball effect this will have over time is going to get Ryan into deep doo-doo.
This was supposed to be a longer episode? It clocked in at 21:35...

I've been looking forward to it all season and I'm finally glad we are finally seeing it.
I chuckled when Michael tried to mimic Ryan's "TBD" and flubbed it.
There were several great moments.
Toby got over that fence quick!

Heh heh. I called Ryan's 'problem' back in the first ep of the season:

I think it really makes a valid point about best intentions... and putting yourself in other people's shoes.
