omg! that's where he's from!!!

I find it hilarious that BJ Novak and Mindy Kaling date on and off...

I really want to watch The Office but after the giant ball of sucking it has been since last season, I really wish there was just a highlights reel

That's Clark Duke! He was on Greek and had a small part in Superbad and that sex comedy movie where Seth Green plays an Amish dude.

oh yeah he was in Superbad too! i knew i had seen him a bunch of times!

I'm so weirded out by that!

Did anyone else sense an impending Jim/Pam separation?

I dislike how they've turned Andy into Michael 2.0. He had enough quirks already!

I thought I was committed to seeing this through, but after the first episode...maybe i'll just watch the finale.

i was thinking the same thing too but i think (im hoping) that they are going to move to Philly (?) for Jim's other job thing.

this.

I don't feel Jim and Pam breaking up at all. They're obviously in love and still crazy about each other, Jim is just starting to get antsy about his career.

And if they even begin toying with that plot line I will stop watching. I don't care if it's 3/4 of the way through the season. I will stop.

Pete and Erin are gonna be the new Jim and Pam. I think she is just adorable.<3

I've stuck it out this far and I feel like I may just watch the finale, too. Last night's episode...yeesh. Desperate for story lines, much?

yeah, I didn't like last nights ep, other than the pie roadtrip. Mostly because of the look on Stanley's face. I the how they just made Andy the new Michael, even down to irrationally hating Toby. Isn't hating Nelly enough? Also, Andy was just cruel about the adoption thing. And the only reason he changed his mind was because it upset Erin?

Mean Andy sucks. I sort of liked him when he was dopey and meant well.

stephen colbert is going to play broccoli rob in the halloween episode.

Not to defend Andy, as I don't like his character lately either, but I *think* he changed his mind because he saw Nelly consoling Erin and realized she would be a good mother.

Also, is anyone else disappointed in Oscar for having an affair with Angela's husband???

Very disappointed! The whole "gay senator" thing was a pretty funny running joke, and I assumed it would lead to Angela catching her husband with a guy - but I never thought they'd make Oscar that guy (I'm still assuming that they'll be caught).

Mean Andy is not the best direction, especially with Toby. That's just ridiculous on the part of the writers.

I enjoyed the absurdity of this week's episode, though. I know they're stretching to find plot lines for the final season, and pulling the cast out of the office has always produced some of the better episodes. It's been a successful formula in the past, so you can't blame them for trying. They've just screwed up enough of the other things that have always been right about the show that there's no way for the rest of the season to not suck a little bit in comparison.

As usual, I liked Kevin and Dwight. Too much Jim, too much mean Andy, too much Nelly, etcetera.

You're probably right. Or maybe it's a little of both. Either way, I still think he sucks!

Did y'all notice that Bryan Cranston directed this week's episode?

I didn't! He is quickly becoming one of my favorite actors of all time. I thought his appearance change on Breaking Bad had to do as much with his aging as anything, but then I saw him on 30 Rock and he looked like he just stepped off the set of Malcom. Dude is amazing.

Anyway, the Office is a little blah, but I may as well hang on until the bitter end.

i agree that the whole Andy being Michael 2.0 is just stupid. i mean he was such a great side character and they turned his character into crepe.

i actually liked how they finally made Nelly into a likable character into the last episode with the driving lessons with Pam.

did i miss something because when did Dwight find out Angela's baby wasnt his??????

It killllllled me when Creed got on the bus and saw all his coworkers. He is my favorite character.

They did a paternity test. I don't remember which episode.

i must have missed an episode or was not paying attention!

Yes!
