Re: The Office -- "The Seminar" -- 1/27/11

GuessWho posted that before Jim's plot was fully revealed. At that time, all we had seen was Jim saying he had something else to do when Andy asked him to participate and then briefly kicking rocks in the parking lot.

I wish there had been a good two-shot of Gervais & Carell. They were mostly cutting back and forth between them, which is too bad because I was planning to use a nice hi-res screenshot as my desktop background if there'd been a good one.

It's after the first of the year on the show, wouldn't the cap have started over?

I loved Gabe considering Erin's success was a Slumdog Millionaire situation, with each of the words having some connection to her orphan upbringing.

John Krasinski is filming a movie, so his absence and conspicuous lack of interaction with others is being done to accommodate him.

I like how they've really followed through with Daryl being Andy's friend. Nice moment tonight when he warned him about the sales team.

Fun fact: I went to high school with the guy who played the seminar attendee who owned the golf supply shop.

Best moment was when Daryl warned Andy about the others. I heard some rumors that Daryl might actually be up for Michael's position, and I could see him being a good replacement.

And when everyone put their hands in to cheer and Creed's cheer was "CREED!"

Man, I just think people are way too hard on this show. And as I've often said, I think they are remembering older seasons being funnier than they actually were.

Kevin collapsing and vomiting into a garbage can in the middle of his presentation is about as The Office as you can get.

It was an ok episode. Not as good as last week. Loved the bit with Kevin puking after running.

Too bad you couldn't be friends since his mom said you weren't smart enough.

One scene does not an episode make.
