The Office doesn't really have any sort of narrative arc this season, but I actually think the writing is a bit sharper than it's been the past two "waiting for Steve Carrell to stop mugging" seasons.
Dude, if you are going to come out an announce your favorite bit of the current series.. at least get the freakin name right. It was Inspector Spacetime, not Inspector Timelord.
a) I did NOT get the sense April was annoyed by Andy. Frankly, I'm annoyed at April's super love-y personality.
b) Leslie's spastic interference routine was too over the top/went on too long.
c) if you're me, part of why you're not so into the Office anymore is because (before it became just absurdist) once the writers get low on organic plots, they just turn the show into a soap opera of different romantic relationships. Now P&R has Leslie/Ben, Andy/April AND Tom/Lucy.
I LIKE MY JOKES TO FEELINGS RATIO ABOUT 5:1. Now its like 2:1. Still, everyone at avclub.com said their eyes sweated too, so maybe I'm just a dick.
Still, very good stuff:
- The bank scene was great, as was "action star," and the last line at the Grand Canyon
Chris - "That was very strange what you just said, I don't like it as much as that other thing you said."
@ rassilon: Holy crap, you are right, and I am fucking embarrassed. Did I mention the drinking? BAH. CAN SOME EDITOR PLEASE FIX THAT THING IN MY POST BEFORE I DIE OF SHAME???
Joneser, are you gonna attempt this on acid sometime? You don't have to admit to using illegal drugs, just use a codephrase to clue us in, like "popped some Vitamin A" or "had my salad tossed by Mr. Mxyzptlk."
Africa for the Africans,Asia for the Asians,white countries for EVERYBODY!
Everybody says there is this RACE problem. Everybody says this RACE problem will be solved when the third world pours into EVERY white country and ONLY into white countries.
The Netherlands and Belgium are just as crowded as Japan or Taiwan, but nobody says Japan or Taiwan will solve this RACE problem by bringing in millions of third worlders and quote assimilating unquote with them.
Everybody says the final solution to this RACE problem is for EVERY white country and ONLY white countries to “assimilate,” i.e., intermarry, with all those non-whites.
What if I said there was this RACE problem and this RACE problem would be solved only if hundreds of millions of non-blacks were brought into EVERY black country and ONLY into black countries?
How long would it take anyone to realize I’m not talking about a RACE problem. I am talking about the final solution to the BLACK problem?
And how long would it take any sane black man to notice this and what kind of psycho black man wouldn’t object to this?
But if I tell that obvious truth about the ongoing program of genocide against my race, the white race, Liberals and respectable conservatives alike say I am a naziwhowantstokillsixmillionjews.
They say they are anti-racist. What they are is anti-white.
Joneser, I don't have a TV and haven't had one for years. A television and cable (because nowhere in this town do you get perfect reception of all broadcast channels) is an unnecessary expense when I can watch the same thing on my laptop whenever I want. The only time I would likely want to watch anything live is a sporting event, but even that is usually streaming online somewhere.
MALWAE-TWEEP & BRANDANOQUITZ TOTALLY BONED.

Anti-racist is a code word for anti-white.
