I know the grades mean almost nothing, but it seems like earlier in the season, you were giving much higher grades to much worse episodes. But oh well.

That picture looks like an American Pie DVD cover. Especially since that blonde girl kind of looks like Tara Reid and the guy next to her is a generic twenty-something.

I know it's not cool to laugh at this show, but I actually laughed pretty hard when it revealed that Earl had taken Han to a strip club. That whole scene had me giggling, to be honest.

She said it about fifty times at the end of BB's last season, but she was forced to play a social game when Brendan left and she was actually really good at it (after all, it changed the fact that she was "playing for second place"). I'm not familiar with TAR, but if there was much actual strategy involved, I think…

I don't watch this show, but I did watch Big Brother for the first time this summer, and I have to say that Rachel became a lot more likable (and actually seemed intelligent) after Brendon left the second time. She was almost like a normal human being. And she was probably the most athletic female player. I would be…

I liked her outside-the-bedroom flirtations. They made her seem a little more human. Once she got in Jim's bedroom, she was basically just like any girl trying to act cute, but that's not totally uncharming either.

They weren't in the room until Dwight busted in.

The camera crew actually did hide when Erin and Ryan jumped under that rack, but I'm not sure how long you could keep those big cameras hidden from the full kitchen staff.

Stanley was walking outside of Jim's window with that blonde girl he was standing next to in the bar. I really like almost all of what Tallahassee has done for this show, but Florida Stanley is easily the best thing.

Weren't they filming from a distance, through the window? As far as I could tell, they were only in the room when Dwight was, although I stopped looking for it after a while. I could never figure out that mirror shot, though.

I could see a small amount of justification for him not telling her. I mean, she freaked out when she first arrived in The Office, and if he thinks it's over, he might not want to worry her.

Yeah, I get what you mean. That was definitely the least important storyline, but I guess for me it was entertaining enough to make it worth the time. Kelly and Ryan are a strangely funny combination.

I think this episode and last week were about even, grade-wise (even though I think they both deserved a higher grade), but for different reasons, like you pointed out.

Well we don't have Netflix and our internet is far too slow to do any streaming until after 1AM when the HughesNet limit is suspended, which I would only stay up for on weekends if I don't have to work the next morning. Is there a rerun timeslot I can catch?

This was the first episode I've seen and I was very pleasantly surprised. The party stuff, as you said, was fantastically scheming and dark (delightfully so, though). It's hard to keep track of the characters' names, but I still found it pretty easy to pick up most of their intentions based on context. The only one I…

It was pretty much a duel between Andy wanting to send all the useless people and Dwight trying to get a good team going.

I was thinking about Kathy Bates's character the other day, and I was actually shocked to remember that her character actually got a few emotional moments (with the whole thing of her wanting to be a non-Barbie role model for little girls or something). I wish they would have kept going with her few appearances a…

The part where she makes fun of Ryan for being short is really the moment where I realized it. The sneering way she said it sounded exactly like David to me.

I didn't catch who his first message was to, but his talk with Mose was definitely telling him that someone may be coming to kill him soon. Maybe the first call was just to someone we've never met who Dwight declared at point to be the next in line to inherit Schrute Farms, should he take out Mose first.
