Jamba Juice
I can understand how the Jamba Juice joke would be dated to Americans, but as we don't have them in England (generally, though I think there's one in London now) the joke works.

Not being from the US I wasn't at all familiar with Christie until I saw him on Jimmy Fallon. He came across as a no-nonsense, witty guy, and not the typical stuffy Republican. But then I read up on him, his policies and his dereliction of duty and realised that he's a bit of a dick.

Tom said he was going for a soak and a schvitz, so for all we know he had both a hot tub session and a sauna.

@Maximuminteresting - Are you referring to Brent playing "Simply The Best" as his intro song before the management seminar? God, that was great.

Great line
I loved the line "where's your jetpack, Zuckerberg?" from Jim's old friend.

Amy Ryan is pretty but the shorter hair isn't doing her any favours.

Looking at IMDB I can only assume that Krasinski was away filming either Something Borrowed or Everybody Loves Whales.

I had a girlfriend of five years who simply would not shit in my house. Hmmm, perhaps that lack of intimacy is what led to our eventually break-up and apathy toward one another.

Well yes, obviously from a story perspective they got as many people in the hospital as possible, but that doesn't change the fact that influenza can (and often does) lead to hospitalisation. It's probably not likely that three people from the same office would be hospitalised at the same time, but it's a sitcom, it

The worry is that they will pick up a whole new slate of shows. It's standard procedure for new network heads to want to stamp their image on things by getting rid of the failing product of the old regime and bring in their own shows. Even though Community is doing better than Outsourced and Perfect Couples it still

I loved the microchip thing, it was a spot-on insight into how Chris views himself.

It was even in the promos shown directly before the show aired.

The problem is when most people claim to have the flu they actually just have a bad cold. If you get genuine influenza it can really fuck you up.

If the new regime at NBC is going to cut anything it'd be Community. P&R got lucky because the old bosses put it in the best spot in the line-up (after The Office) just before they left.

The slight pause between the set up and the punch line made it perfect. Great work from Pratt.

Definitely an A. "Stop…pooping" earns the A by itself.

Tyrannosaur
I'm really intrigued to see Olivia Colman in this film. She's primarily known in the UK for comedic roles (Peep Show, Green Wing), so it'll be interesting to see how she fares in a more dramatic role.

Old news, sort of
This was actually rumoured on OfficeTally.com in October:

I'm loving the weird, bemused look she always seems to sport in Episodes.
