So apparently Robert's wife left him because he didn't want her to work in his company?

I thought for sure that Robert and Erin were gonna "do it."

Pretty solid episode. Last week's was OK...but the last few episodes before that were terrible, so at least the mid-season break ended on a high note.

I thought it was a really good episode. The Erin-Andy awkwardness, Jim and Dwight's feuding, all the characters getting some good jokes in, it felt like classic Office.

Stanley's rant at the beginning was awesome.

I thought it was pretty good too, although Robert all of a sudden being divorced one episode removed is a little weird. I wish they did more with Jim/Dwight setting each other up for pranks, although Jim's picture thing was pretty lame.

I didn't like it. Andy and Erin have both turned into junior high kids towards each other, and they've drug out their storyline for way too long that I no longer give a shit if they get together.

A Mo Rocca Christmas!


Also, if I recall correctly (and I might not), didn't Andy and Erin never consumate their relationship? So why would she be talking about his penis? Maybe I'm wrong though.

I think this is it for me. When a show starts feeling like a chore to watch, time to throw in the towel...
