Come on, no votes for Scott's Tots as the worst?

Your comment wasn't that interesting the first two times you added it.

I, on the other hand, am looking forward to dental surgery.

When has Kevin ever been snarky?

Reacting badly under pressure might work as an explanation for this week, but what explains every other instance of him having the IQ of a cabbage?

So now we're back to the branch being worthless? Sort of like the first three seasons? Are we supposed to forget that the Scranton branch magically transformed itself into Dunder Mifflin's best performer and most valuable asset back around the time of the Sabre takeover? I guess these guys think continuity is for

I meant that Dwight would know a workaround to disable the software, not that he was in charge of it. The idea that he would approve of a corporate strategy to punish his coworkers fits his character and makes more sense than installing his own program that will inevitably destroy the branch and take his job away.

Lotto was the best episode of the season? Enjoying "Shove it up your butt!"?  I just don't understand. I agree that Robert California hasn't been present or developed enough to be the center of the show. There needs to be some real conflict with him and the office for his presence to have more meaning. Instead of

I can't barely watch scenes with Kevin these days. The destruction of the character is symbolic of how this show has gone off the rails in the past few years. 

The scene were they played the second ad was the best part of the show for me. The ladies pointing out they hadn't mentioned the name of the truck or what he sold, but that the ad said 'hot dogs' about seven times cracked me up. Max's "I didn't DVR it!" was the perfect cap.

It's how we roll.

Thank you.

I haven't found a single moment of their relationship engaging or believable. If they're so great together why aren't they dating? There isn't a single rational or reasonable excuse except that the writers think we are enjoying Jim/Pam II: Electric Boogaloo (now with extra contrivances).

Could you put up a "NERD ALERT" on your posts in the future?

After making Deangelo Vickers brain dead, having them separate just months after the birth of their second child would be the darkest thing the show had ever pulled. At this point I don't see any prospect of that happening.

I was surprised how good Happy Endings was this week. I've caught the last few after dropping the show last year and it seems to have hit its stride.

There is and never will be anything interesting about Andy/Erin. The extended will they/won't they without any realistic roadblock has been a complete waste of time. The fact that Ed Helms and Ellie Kemper have no chemistry hasn't helped.

There is a fairly substantial subset of NBA fans who would find their mocking funny. If they were mocking them. These days it's not clear. Spader was the best thing in this episode. Why did they drag out the moldering corpse that is the Andy and Erin story? Is it too much to hope for that they were putting a crossbow

Maybe I just think "examining my experience" of playing a video game sounds like huge exercise in naval gazing. 

I still say looking for some outside identifier of "masculinity" is a huge waste of time. Also, playing first person shooters happens to be fun and not an indication of virility. You may want to read all sorts of other meaning into them, but that's your problem.
