the max Posted November 18, 2006 Report Posted November 18, 2006 Is Creed too obvious a guess for who the former convict will be? One of the Stamford employees. Creed worked in Scranton.
DrVenkman PhD Posted November 18, 2006 Report Posted November 18, 2006 Lazy Scranton already had me laughing but Dwight jumping into the scene and being part of the video made it even better. I wasn't as enamoured with Andy in the Stamford episodes as everyone else (though I did find him funny), but wow was he great with Michael and Dwight.

MillenniumMan831 Posted November 18, 2006 Report Posted November 18, 2006 Michael's gonna assume it's the black dude.
Spaceman Spiff Posted November 18, 2006 Report Posted November 18, 2006 I'm throwing down my pick - Karen.
MillenniumMan831 Posted November 18, 2006 Report Posted November 18, 2006 I'll go w/ Karen being a stalker.
DrVenkman PhD Posted November 18, 2006 Report Posted November 18, 2006 Michael's gonna assume it's the black dude. Is new black employee the guy from the bank commercials? WAMU, maybe? Either way, it's the commercial with these old stuffy bankers talking about charging people for things whatever hip black man's bank doesn't.
starvenger Posted November 18, 2006 Report Posted November 18, 2006 I'm throwing down my pick - Karen. That's too much of a swerve for this show. Part of the fun of The Office is that we get to see things long before Michael figures it out, and we see just how oblivious he can be.
Guest Felonies! Posted November 18, 2006 Report Posted November 18, 2006 It has to be Karen. Why would it be Andy? He has the most character development out of the Stamford bunch. He went to Cornell, was always drunk, still graduated, and was in Here Comes Treble. (His Haddaway impression was priceless last night.) I think everything is taken care of with regard to Andy's past. Karen, for being one of the principal characters at the Stamford branch, still has a lot of character development left. Or it could be the breast pump lady. There are only 4 transfers now, right? Andy, Karen, BPL, black guy? The fat guy is gone and Jim doesn't count. That means there are 16 people in the office now, assuming that Oscar is off the show for good, plus Jan, plus the warehouse guys. They need to cut Meredith out or something. It's getting cluttered.
Big Ol' Smitty Posted November 18, 2006 Report Posted November 18, 2006 My favorite part of that episode was Toby trying to do the fist tap with Jim & then apologizing. Also, I just read online that Toby tried to ask Pam out. When was this?
bob_barron Posted November 18, 2006 Author Report Posted November 18, 2006 Amazing episode, best of the season by far
Craig Th Posted November 18, 2006 Report Posted November 18, 2006 Wait, when was this convict stuff talked about?
iggymcfly Posted November 18, 2006 Report Posted November 18, 2006 I guess I was in the minority, but I didn't like this episode very well at all. Michael was way too over the top, Dwight was way too over the top, and then adding Andy just made it even worse. I liked him a lot better when he was just playing 'the asshole' at the other office. Everything with Jim and Karen was good though. For being a new character, she's actually meshed with the rest of the cast really well and is quite likeable and funny. The secondary Scranton characters were good too, but seeing Michael on overdrive interacting with all these blank types from Stamford was just too much.

I think everything is taken care of with regard to Andy's past. Karen, for being one of the principal characters at the Stamford branch, still has a lot of character development left. Why Andy? He was always drunk in college, which could've given him a DUI and an overnight, making him a convict in Dwight's eyes. But I might as well hedge here and say that any of the four Stamford characters could've had a DUI or similar, but I am of the opinion that the ex-convict will be one because of something minor, and Dwight.

They need to cut Meredith out or something. It's getting cluttered. Oscar is coming back in one of the January episodes. He got "three months paid vacation" so the actor could work on his new sitcom. Wait, when was this convict stuff talked about? The next (11/30) episode written by Gervais & Merchant is called "The Convict."

C Dubya 04 Posted November 20, 2006 Report Posted November 20, 2006 My favorite part of that episode was Toby trying to do the fist tap with Jim & then apologizing. Also, I just read online that Toby tried to ask Pam out. When was this? I think it was the season premier (maybe or the second episode) where Toby kept talking to Pam and seemed to be gearing to ask her out. It was subtle.
Youth N Asia Posted November 20, 2006 Report Posted November 20, 2006 I like Toby, and what I like even better about him is that Michael just seems to hate him.
C Dubya 04 Posted November 20, 2006 Report Posted November 20, 2006 I do love how whenever anything goes wrong Michael now instantly blames Toby. Like the fat guy quitting. "It was Toby, wasn't it?" Or the bird dying.
EricMM Posted November 20, 2006 Report Posted November 20, 2006 Thats because Toby is the anti-Michael in a lot of ways.
Lord of The Curry Posted November 20, 2006 Report Posted November 20, 2006 Toby is a member of HR, which means he's not really a part of this family. And he's divorced so he's not really a part of his family either.
the max Posted November 21, 2006 Report Posted November 21, 2006 I do love how whenever anything goes wrong Michael now instantly blames Toby. Like the fat guy quitting. "It was Toby, wasn't it?" Or the bird dying. "Toby killed this bird!" is one of my favorite lines this season.
starvenger Posted November 23, 2006 Report Posted November 23, 2006 That's kinda... random, yet enjoyable. Thanks, DH!
Lord of The Curry Posted November 23, 2006 Report Posted November 23, 2006 "Ok so I didn't really major in Public Speaking but I did download some speeches from history's greatest dictators." GQ's Men of The Year issue is out now and Wilson, Krasinski and Novak are rockin' some pimp suits in the "Co-Workers of The Year" spread.
Lord of The Curry Posted November 30, 2006 Report Posted November 30, 2006 They need an episode devoted to Ryan trying to get Kelly and Roy to hook up, just so he can have an excuse to break up with Kelly.
