Right.  I don't mind people beating on the office so much, but they should really pay attention before tearing it apart.  Brian absolutely acknowledged the camera crew, first by looking at them, then by talking almost in code to Pam "we need to stop talking like this" referring to them being in front of the cameras.

Agree.  Give Up holds up well, as does Transatlanticism.  But I feel like, even though Plans was pretty solid, it's been all downhill from those two for Gibbard.

I know.  I've been worried ever since I saw the Hunger Games promos.  It's VERY reassuring to hear the episode isn't as bad as that makes it look.  But all this delay, and drama has really taken away my excitement for its return.  I'll watch, but I'm not like "OMG Community's back next week!" like I was for season 3.

The show has been riddled with those short and sweet acknowledgments throughout.  They were recapped a lot last week in discussion about the reveal.  I know they could fail with this, and so far I'm not a fan of the Brian story.  But I respect them trying to pull the curtain back as a part of wrapping up the show.…

I was so happy last year when they brought him back at the end of the season, like a  savior for the show.  Agree 100%.  He really should be more present.

I think they've done a GREAT job of reminding us what a dick Jim can be this season.  But we still see the glimmers of hope, like him cleaning up for Darryl.  I think it's just to create additional tension in the whole Jim-Pam-Brian and Philly-Scranton issues.  Hubris and whatnot.

I agree with this as to why he's fired.  He can't stay out of the action - dropping the boom mic on her head for instance to say "what about me?! you're not alone!".  But I think there are definitely feelings there for her, even if saving her from a potential attacker is just the right thing to do no matter.

Didn't he deliver coffee or something in an earlier season?  He definitely didn't have the beard.  Was it still the same character or just the same actor?

Yes, I was!  I loved that moment.

The Creed moments in each episode last night were just perfect.  Probably my favorite moments were him joining the paintball outing without a word and flying a kite in the office.  I dunno, they used him right.

It's Gabe, it's the only way it could make sense, even by now office standards.

@disqus_okgItcD0yy:disqus I remember at one point Darryl saying to Michael "Bob Vance is buying the warehouse and keeping us all on."  But then they all kept shipping paper so I"m thinking it's more like Toby is just an HR rep.
