Loved the mention of the reversal by SPIN. Classic and typical. I called them out on something similar several years ago and got rewarded with a letter-of-the-month and a prize of an iRiver. It wasn't that great and it's software regularly crashed my computer, but it allowed me to avoid having to buy an mp3 player for

Loved "Molly".  That was the song where I first truly understood the monstrosity that was the 'radio-edit'.  Not just blanking/dubbing out expletives which was always obvious, but just minor tweaks and mixing for no particular reason other than making it radio-friendly. Damn near thought I was going crazy when I

If there do be witches, then by the American Horror Story Rule of Throwing Everything at the Wall,somebody's gonna say some lines out of Macbeth, in which case, cauldrons.

Will there be cauldrons?

Will there be cauldrons?

Finally checked Hulu for a replay. 5 girls in the truck. One redhead with a Meredith-style cut and attire, One brunette with a Pam-ish style cut, three blondes, one short, one ponytail, one pigtails… while one could technically be an Angela, the others don't really have anyone to correspond in The Office. They

Good analysis, though there's (slightly) more time than you think- according to OfficeTally, there are 8 "half-hours" left, four regular episodes and  the final two weeks being hour-long episodes, so a whole 22-23 more minutes for them to bring back and wrap up the stories of DeAngelo Vickers, the Mafia insurance rep

To be fair, she may have been the Angela-equivalent of the group of truck-daughters who, and I'm only basing this on memory, all resembled the various women of The Office. Can't find a screenshot yet to confirm, but this has been bugging me all day…

I can only imagine that "If You Leave" was played on a kazoo during that final scene.

Before I watch this, I'm going to state that I hope to see some of Mac's training and instincts on display, complete with sound-effects.

It's certainly up there. And this really would've fit perfectly somewhere in Season 8.  Of course, that makes perfect given that a most (if not all) of this episode was the backdoor-pilot for The Farm series who shared the same creators/showrunner for Season 8 of The Office.

Agree that it's probably better it never will be. After last season, I guess I'm just far too cynical to think that, in actuality, Lieberstein wouldn't have been able to restrict himself to "occasional punches" of absurdity and instead used each episode to come up with and throw as many absurd and inconsistent Schrute

After Packer leaves, they bring their next two potential clients into the room, who notice and eat the cupcakes, and then there's a smash cut to a news camera watching them bring out Charles Barkley and Mike Schmidt on stretchers, with Jim's goofy face in the background.

I hated Packer in general but I liked a certain aspect of the role his character served in relation to Michael Scott- basically he was the guy who mocked & bullied Michael (there probably was some cool-kid equivalent of him in grade/high school for Michael) but since it was all in good fun, Michael worshipped the guy

We gave him away to a nice farm family…

I can't recall exactly, but I wrote below that I thought the pickup daughters were intentionally dressed to resemble the women of The Office- I could've sworn the redhead had a Meredith haircut, and while I seem to recall they were all wearing cardigans, I think there were nods to Pam, Angela and others

Don't forget, Kevin initially interviewed for a warehouse position, but Michael saw 'something' in him and made him an accountant… No idea how he's lasted this long. Maybe his on-again, off-again shrewd poker-playing skills have really been used in a long-con to keep his job.

It's a shame- I really loved Toby as a character, so I had high hopes that it would translate over, but especially after last season, his showrunning ability is… siiigh.

If I remember correctly, in the Initiation episode, after Ryan ran out of the barn after refusing to wrestle "Fear", played by Mose, Mose turns to Dwight and remarks "He seems nice"
