This is tough to watch.

Re: The Office -- "Lecture Circuit Part 2" -- 2/12/09
 

rotfl @ Michael's questions and breakdown followed by Pam's taking over.

Re: The Office -- "Lecture Circuit Part 2" -- 2/12/09
 

Dwight butt-slapping Kelly and saying "Many happy returns" was the funniest part of the show for me.

Re: The Office -- "Lecture Circuit Part 2" -- 2/12/09
 

What a stinker.

Angela + her cats = creeeeeepy

Cat maternity leave :lol:

Re: The Office -- "Lecture Circuit Part 2" -- 2/12/09
 

Disappointing episode.

Re: The Office -- "Lecture Circuit Part 2" -- 2/12/09
 

A few funny bits in a weak overall episode.

Re: The Office -- "Lecture Circuit Part 2" -- 2/12/09
 

really wished holly would've been there. i'm glad pam got a handful of funny moments and the dwight/jim parts were funny as well. not the best episode but i liked it.

Re: The Office -- "Lecture Circuit Part 2" -- 2/12/09
 

I missed the first 30 minutes of Supernatural for *that*?

Re: The Office -- "Lecture Circuit Part 2" -- 2/12/09
 

Supernatural is a repeat this week. But have to admit that repeat was better than this episode. I'm an Office fan, but this week was meh

Re: The Office -- "Lecture Circuit Part 2" -- 2/12/09
 

DVR didn't record it for some reason, dammit...

Re: The Office -- "Lecture Circuit Part 2" -- 2/12/09
 

If this is what I have to endure before Holly returns, then fine........

Re: The Office -- "Lecture Circuit Part 2" -- 2/12/09
 

While it wasn't as funny as some episodes, it did make me horribly uncomfortable at times, which is vintage Office.

Re: The Office -- "Lecture Circuit Part 2" -- 2/12/09
 

Your DVR was prophetic. It knew it was an 'eh' episode.

Re: The Office -- "Lecture Circuit Part 2" -- 2/12/09
 

Sucked

Re: The Office -- "Lecture Circuit Part 2" -- 2/12/09
 

I am going to bang Holly.

Re: The Office -- "Lecture Circuit Part 2" -- 2/12/09
 

I agree. Funniest part of the show although the short debate about sleep vs tv watching at work was pretty funny too.

Re: The Office -- "Lecture Circuit Part 2" -- 2/12/09
 

Angela's cat thing was terrible. Everything else, was great.

"What's the theme?"

"Frosting."

Re: The Office -- "Lecture Circuit Part 2" -- 2/12/09
 

I agree with those who were generally disappointed with this one. It just didn't really seem to build the momentum that one expected from the (respective) setups of the two sub-plots. The whole Kellie (or Kelley, or Kelly) birthday party planning just didn't amount to much, and the Angela and her cats bit, while sort of amusing, was also quite out-there.

And while I laughed at it, Angela licking her cat also made me go :eek:.

I know a lot of folks were expecting the big Michael-Holly reunion (which we all know is coming later this season anyway). I did think those few scenes where Michael was pining for Holly after he discovered she was dating someone else did achieve the tone of genuine pathos that the show manages in its better moments.

Re: The Office -- "Lecture Circuit Part 2" -- 2/12/09
 

I am going to break from the mainstream consensus here and say I never really cared for Holly. Nothing really specific I can put my finger on...I just didn't really care for how she clicked with the show and for some reason I never really was sold on her relationship with Michael.

Re: The Office -- "Lecture Circuit Part 2" -- 2/12/09
 

This ep. was written by Mindy Kaling, whose episodes are usually pretty weak. At least she's consistent.

Re: The Office -- "Lecture Circuit Part 2" -- 2/12/09
 

Agreed.

All Mindy Kaling episodes suck.

"Diwali", "Frame Toby"-- ugh

Re: The Office -- "Lecture Circuit Part 2" -- 2/12/09
 

Stanley's line at the end of the sign argument cracked me up.

Oterwise, an average episode.
