The fact that they are there for every major holiday and followed the entire Jim/Pam relationship for 6 months in S3 makes it unlikely they are only there a few times each year.

The problem with Andy is that they did spend last season fleshing him out only to discover he was a comedy black hole that destroyed episodes faster than you can blink.

Except for the fact that she had just gotten engaged to Jim a month before. Even they realized how improbable that story was by abandoning it before it went anywhere.

Toby had no problem firing Roy after his aborted attack on Jim.

Right, how is he not immediately escorted off the premises? She just shut the door as Pam was yelling like it in no way involved her direct report.

Yeah, I don't know how they could have made it more obvious than they did. Maybe have him wear a bright yellow Brian shirt?

The version of Jim on this episode was completely out of the blue for me. This douche was invented for the sole purpose of trying to make the Brian story more palatable. They have done this in the past just for the joke, but every time it just takes me out of the show.

@avclub-98f668c8300f648c4298d43df8cc923d:disqus  Yep, that was what I was thinking as well. Isn't Val his boss? Why would she allow something like that to happen with no consequences?

@avclub-256746d11f6954aabd1092266578be0d:disqus  I found the S6 Sabre stuff to be almost as bad as this year. They had a good idea about a company takeover, but just completely botched it. There was a real chance there to shake up the office, divide it into two divisions and explore the tension that would result, but…

I saw it as a horrifying possibility, but was hoping they would avoid it. They let me down.

Yeah, how was that warehouse guy not summarily fired? Even if there wasn't a mural there, I don't think you're allowed to just spray paint the walls where you work.

Holy crap, I should have caught that!
