But I feel like they made Holly too much like Micheal just for the sake of the episode. It seemed a little too juvenile for Holly to give a stupid name at the cell phone stand just to scam a stress ball. It seems like they've been dumbing down Holly recently just to hammer home the point that she and Michael are supposed to be together.

I'm guessing they are having a hard time finding the right way to exit the Michael character. Instead of letting things develop realistically, they are rushing them. A lot of that storyline seems very rushed and forced. I don't think the union of Holly and Michael will be a good swan song for Michael's character. All along Michael has always found ways to sabotage himself, even when he is presented with good situations. Honestly, the Michael and Holly characters don't have the same spark as when they first connected. Maybe these is how it was intended, but I really don't find the Holly character very likeable. And Michael is coming across as extremely desperate. Even when Michael seemed pathetic, he always managed to find a way to dig himself out of the hole. That was so great about the character. He is socially clueless, but deep down, is resourceful, if you know what I mean.

I hated everything about this episode, and I think it's based on the fact that I really really really can't stand Michael and Holly as a couple. They really don't seem to have any chemsitry together whatsoever... it seems like a pathetic relationship based purely on awkward quips and "funny" voices... it's like two of the "WHAAZZZZUP!" guys decided to date. I hope Carrell's departure sparks some new creativity with this show, or else I'm out.

Ricky G wants Will Arnett for the show. I like Will, but I think he does better in supporting roles and hope they keep whatever it is limited.

I agree.
