And a five-minute weekly webseries that's just Jim and Darryl reading athletes' screenplays.

I wasn't sure whether or not they meant for the parents to actually be together or if they were supposed to have reunited after the documentary or at the panel itself. But either way, Erin is 31 (born the year Porky's came out), and if Joan Cusack's character was born around the time Cusack actually was, that would

@avclub-82cf46948ca0f531a256e38473c9282f:disqus I think you're right.

I don't think most of the characters were out of character. They were just all suddenly versions of the characters we haven't seen in two seasons.

@avclub-4c56756898d633b36107f305da70351d:disqus I don't know. I feel like if it was just out of a sense of obligation, Pete would have stormed off and stewed instead of coming nearly to blows. He lacks empathy for those directly around him, at least when they get in his way, but he seems to have genuine beliefs and

@avclub-705562aaa4a5b85bfa44373d8e6bf234:disqus Their decision to break the 180 in that scene was really effective, in my opinion.

He sounds like one of my grandpa's friends that I used to see when we'd go to the flea market (can't remember if it was Sunrise or Aqueduct; we used to go to both) in the early '90s.

@avclub-ca8e4b363f85fdb30c00a0ad943cf6f4:disqus But those are exactly the same risks she's mad at Jim for taking (going to a bigger city to pursue a dream, starting a new business). He supported her through those, and I don't buy that she wouldn't support him this time around. Especially because her versions of those

I don't buy it. Jim's already renting half of a two-bedroom apartment, which is all they would need for the time being. Have Pam get a job and pay Darryl's portion (of, I assume, a similar-sized apartment; let Darryl keep that one and find a new roommate out of courtesy), and there you go. Especially if they sell the

@avclub-6d0cbc987f0ee695ca4e8d07ecde8d7a:disqus My biggest problem with their handling of the introduction of conflict in that relationship is that they spent seasons making Pam stop being so risk-averse. Pam in the first couple of seasons was like that. That's why she stayed with Roy for so long. But since then, she

@eric827:disqus There are clearly too many Bobbys on this show. Bobby Draper, Bobbie Barrett, now Bobby Kissassinaccounts.

I could be wrong, but I think they're setting it up. That's why we got Jim looking miserable reading Ryan Howard's screenplay. I think they wanted that to be the moment where Jim realizes that his dream isn't all it's cracked up to be. I don't like it, but they've written themselves into a corner.

My guess is Jim quits Athlead and comes back to Scranton to take over Andy's job.

I don't think Athlead will fail, but I do think Jim will leave it and replace Andy at the end of the season.

I saw it last week and it's fucking excellent.

I saw the movie last week, and it's fucking fantastic. I had my doubts in the first act because the protagonist is just. so. awkward, but it ends up working. And Sam Rockwell is fucking amazing in it. And I love Maya Rudolph's character. And Steve Carrell is so perfect at being a dick who wants to be better but can't.

Mine (at least as of a couple episodes into this season) was to end it with the premiere of the documentary. Everyone preparing for a screening at a local movie theater. Michael and Holly coming back to see it. It'd be a chance to bring back a lot of characters, however minor, from the show's past and wrap it up with

I love that Ray's "fierce" gesture was the Team Jaguar sign from Frisky Dingo.

It's a show whose attention to detail was one of its draws.

It also doesn't make sense. It's in response to the idea of Greendale starting its first fraternity, even though Troy and Abed try to join Greendale's coolest fraternity in season one.
