Also...I'm assuming Stanley gets more to do next time, because as of now, he's just an extra.

Edit: And within the realm of the show, this time around they had 4 simultaneous crews.

Dwight & Angela.
The Office itself.
Jim & Pam.
Toby.

With that much manpower, why the fuck don't they film the warehouse simultaneously throughout the duration of the series? There must be fun shit going on there all the time. Yes this is a ridiculous point to bring up but man...even Toby got his own subplot...

Also Pam made fun of Jim for having a bluetooth...when he....blatantly had one when he talked to her 24/7 a few seasons ago using that "world's smallest bluetooth"? And as such, he could use that to talk to her more often as he did in the past (which I mentioned earlier)? Come on.

It's kind of ironic that Bob Odenkirk played a Michael Scott clone because he originally auditioned for the role of Michael Scott. And in his auditions apparently he had a completly different twist on the character, but they were looking more for a David Brent clone, which Steve Carell gave them. Now it took Odenkirk about 10 years, but eventually, he gave them what they wanted.

Any catch the Michael Weston cameo (guy who Odenkirk said, "when I say to chillax, people chillax")?

I know him from Garden State (cop), but he's been on House, Scrubs & Six Feet Under.

I blame you fuckers for obsessing over the Scranton Strangler bullshit because I had to pay for it last night watching a Toby subplot.

You know it's an awful episode when Gabe, fuckin' GABE, has the best lines of the episode.

I also hate how the writers can't get past their Michael Scott fetish. I know it fit with Pam and not wanting to be stuck with the same job she's had forever, but gah, it's like the writers only have 'every boss can only be a Michael Scott ripoff' mindset now.
Agree with pretty much all of this. Watched this episode yesterday without commercials, and the 40 minutes felt like 90. This show just does NOT need to be doing double episodes at this stage in the game. Like the series itself, I just kept waiting for it to end.

I chuckled a few times, but it really didn't feel like a comedy at all. I get that it was aired on Valentine's Day, but enough with all the romances.

Disliked just about all of this episode, didn't care for Dwight and Angela, Andy continues to be a giant douche, and Pam and Jim were uninteresting this time around (as someone that liked their fight a couple weeks ago). I didn't need all that time spent on Pam's interview either.

You might also suffer through a story of Jim's drunk driving rampages as well.

When it airs, it'll all come back to haunt him.
