I've been in a lot of offices where folks had babies and I can't remember any of them forcing their child on their coworkers without being asked. I have, however, seen on TV a lot. Just another example of Paul Lieberstein screwing the pooch.

Yeah, put me in the "sucking up to the boss" camp. The only one I found completely out of character was Darryl. He has ambitions, but he never once sucked up to Michael and to see him dressed up in that cowboy outfit annoyed me almost as much as Jim claiming to be a huge soccer player to Charles Minor. There's trying

I won't say jumped the shark because I hate that term, but I think the show lost its way when Mike Schur and Greg Daniels left to do Parks & Rec back in Season 5. Paul Lieberstein has shown no ability to craft a long term story or to maintain consistent characterization. Just read Mike Schur's interview about P&R from

You're about two or three years late.

Nice, nuanced review.

You do realize this is TV show right?

I liked that the supporting characters seemed more like their old selves. Kevin showed that he wasn't an idiot, a note they've been hitting much too hard since Amy Ryan's first appearance on the show. Phyllis was the matronly presence she hadn't been since marrying Bob Vance, Vance Refrigeration and Dwight was driven,

I don't think we're supposed to care that much about him.

Britta's song would have been the high point for me if it hadn't been for the post-Paintball sweatshirt. "It's all downhill from here."

And yet you take time to comment here.

Yes, Andy definitely needed a new computer so his yachting regatta videos would play more smoothly. How could Pam fail to see his desperate need?

Are we really supposed to believe that Packer would actually hop the fence into her home? I find it hard enough to believe he would drive off to Florida without getting some confirmatory details and now I'm supposed to buy that he would trespass on the basis of that call? Not even Kevin would fall for that.

Yes

Finch had a significant role in about 3 of the 14 UK Office episodes while Packer has been on the show three times since the middle of Season 3. That's hardly over-used.

I'm a bit confused as to how sending him to Tallahassee on a prank actually solves the Packer problem. They needed to have him do something that would have gotten him fired.

Yeah, I'm afraid that their desire to have Michael go out on a high is getting the better of the show. Turning him into everyone's buddy completely ignores years of his jackassery. Some folks may have forgotten Michael Scott, sexist, ignorant, borderline racist, but I haven't. It's going to take more than Holly to

The fun of Threat Level Midnight just barely manage to cancel out my disbelief of what was going on. Karen, Roy, Helene or Toby participating in Michael's absurd vanity project was a bit too much to swallow.

I would have liked an extended version of this episode or at least one with a little less Michael/Holly. I got the point the first three times. The other three were just overkill.

I'm rooting for Kevin to swoop in and steal Erin away. They seem to have similar mental handicaps.

I liked you better when you hated it. Every moment of Michael in the woods bugged me except "I tented my pants."
