The Office, Season 3

Recommended Posts

I'm w/ Bobby here, there were some alright moments but that was pretty bad. This episode scared me because it was eerily reminiscent of the Frank Grimes episode of The Simpsons because that's one of the turning points of the series where Homer just became a complete dumbass. That's how I saw Michael tonight. I hope he somehow gets back into "form" in the coming weeks because if this is an actual storyline they're attempting then it's going to fucking suck.

 

Dwight and Angela dancing was one of the more warm n' fuzzy Office moments in a while.

 

And even though credit must be given to R. Howard for the assist Toby stole the whole shebang at the end.

The preview on my program guide says that this week Ryan invites Michael to his buisness school to make a speech.

 

This could be gold.

While I like Michael of course, it was too over the top in the last episode. You like him a little clueless, but it was more obnoxious than funny him trying to take over the whole wedding.

For everything that Michael fucks up it's been hammered home pretty well that he's a really good salesman so I expect him to wow Ryans class.

 

And follow it up by making a sexually suggestive remark about his and Ryans relationship.

I imagine it's going to be more like the class ridicules Michael for his quirks and Dunder Mifflin for its bad business model or something, and Michael turning the tables on them in the end. He never really wows anyone. He looks bad/stupid/incompetent 95% of the time, then redeems himself in the final 5%. This is going to be no different.

Although last week put a bitter taste in a few of your mouth's about Michael, this episode show me why I love the guy. Not just for the humor and his proven business skills, but also the devotion he has for Dunder Mifflin and it's employees.

Hilarious episode. Loved the slapticky scenes with the bat, and Michael's speech was great.

 

I admit it got off to a slow start (some of the episodes in the middle were only alright, not great), but since they've sorted out the merger, it's been great

That was tremendous stuff. I thought they fired on all cyclinders and managed to have everybody get their moments in. I think that's gotta be the most amount of time Creed has ever been on screen.

 

Poor Toby.

I thought the episode was quite excellent, especially in comparison to last week's shitty episode.

-I'm surprised they didn't have Meredith shown with an emergency flask in the washroom or some shit. I guess that's a deleted scene?

-The delivery on Kevin's one line wasn't very good.

-The first Jim/Karen vampire gag was amazing, the second time it fell flat, but then Jim as Nosferatu at the end was just incredible

-It's pretty evident that Toby doesn't care about Sasha. First it was obvious in "The Merger" with his talking head about leaving the country to go surf, and now he's just making sure everyone knows he feels he has no responsibility to his child(ren?).

That episode was tremendous. I think I rewound to Dwight falling off the desk at the beginning three times. A Dwight/Creed alliance is comedy gold and Michael's deal in the business class was good stuff.

"Animals don't feel pain." Creed was an all-star in this one--just a little more than his usual one moment, but not too much to ruin him. I loved the episode, and would put it up there with "Email Surveillance" as one of their best efforts at hitting all the right notes.

 

Also, Whedon did well directing. He did a good job foregrounding things that often fall a little too far into the background, like the absolute gold of Angela going into stop drop and roll as soon as the bat came out.

Great episode! The 'werewolf hunting' line probably cracked me up the hardest, even though I'd seen it twice in previews. Just so wrong.

 

THough I have to ask, how was Michael going to introduce a chunky into his act?

 

And did I mishear, or did he say aPollaksayswhat?
