Cheech Tremendous 0 Report post Posted October 24, 2008 The first three episodes of the season were really disappointing to me, but I loved last night's episode. I haven't been much of a fan of the Holly/Michael storyline, but I have a feeling things will get interesting now that Dave Wallace is involved. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimmy no nose 0 Report post Posted October 24, 2008 Were Ryan and Kelly both missing the whole episode? Maybe I just didn't notice them. Now that I think about it there might have been a quick non-speaking appearance from the side of Ryan's head when Jim was listening to Pam's message, but I didn't see either of them during the auction or anything.

DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted October 25, 2008 I really enjoyed last night's episode. Ryan hiding, Stanley's expression at the "like the old days" comment - great moments. The biggest laugh I had was Dwight talking to Phyillis about his problems, then loudly announcing "I was talking to myself, not you!" when she speaks up. Unrealted, what do you suppose the in-universe (and I almost said "kayfabe" but I know not everyone is down with that) explanation for no Dundies based episodes since 2005 is? I would assume the crew just didn't feel the need to produce something about the ceremony again. I know these seems like a rather random question but I've been marathoning DVDs. Time to put in Season 3, disc 1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KingPK 0 Report post Posted October 25, 2008 I guess when Pam was banned from that Chili's, the Dundies were banned from there as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted October 25, 2008 I did consider that, but Michael did ask Jim to host them in Branch Wars when the copier fell on him. Really though, another episode about them would be kind of a waste of time, both in-universe for the documentary crew and for the viewer. Clips or references to annual ceremonies would be great, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ravenbomb 0 Report post Posted October 25, 2008 I hope this Jim/Pam trouble is just a tease. I REALLLLY don't want them to break-up. I think "I'm not that guy and we're not that couple" was a big 'ol nod to the "zomg jam's gonna break up" people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Electrifyer 0 Report post Posted October 25, 2008 If they do The Dundies every year, then technically, Pretzel Day and birthdays should also be done in every season too. It kind of irks me a little when we see something (outside of real holidays) that TV shows base an episode on as a yearly event, but never ever again mention it again. Might be just me, but it'd be great to just get a reference to it or something, but not another entire episode devoted it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Youth N Asia 0 Report post Posted October 25, 2008 Jim and Pam have to break up at least once. Without an end date in site for the Office it's hard to really plan their story out. For the BBC version they only ran 2 seasons and did a special after that, if you know that then you can script it better. They'll break up, and get back together. I could see the series ending with them broken up, but friends Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mik 0 Report post Posted October 25, 2008 I'm with everyone else who said it was a great episode. Andy had the line of the episode, I think..."You'll always be safe around me, I'm an excellent screamer." I lost it. Looks like Holly's gonna get fired now.

You know how sometimes The Office does an hour-long episode, and then people are like, "Yeah, that was okay, but it didn't really need to be an hour." This is like the exact opposite of that.

KingPK 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2008 Yeah, that episode seemed to mash a bunch of stories together without giving each one that much time. This definitely would have been better as an hour-long. The deleted scenes for this one are going to be pretty long; I doubt they did that Halloween scene just for the cold opening.

Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2008 That was above an average episode of Office as you can get. Jim Bros/JAM moments fell flat due to awkwardness and it was obvious that they plan on extending Mike and Holly past this one so we didn't any definitive conclusion. The Dwight/Andy moments were fun but it felt kinda forced. Meh. Here's hoping they do more with future episodes. Ryan as Gordon Gecko was great but Kelly thinking he worked for Geico was nice.

DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2008 I enjoyed the episode while watching it and laughed quite a bit at the Dwight / Andy interactions, but to echo what most have said, I checked the time on my DVR at one point and was amazed 24 minutes had passed (meaning there was only a few minutes left before a commercial, then the short final scene) with things just quickly wrapping up. Overall, an enjoyable episode that probably could have benefitted from an hour (Halloween being the cold opening was a bit of a letdown considering the episode description sold Pam's costume faux pas as main story point).
