A SNIPER RIFLE?! I'm going to kill you in real life! LOL

The look on Angela's face when Dwight was busted was perfect. As was Dwight, thinking he was boss, calling Michael "Mike" and refering to him as Assistant TO the Regional Manager! LOL

I thought it was hilarious when Angela was saying to Dwight that "we could make a big difference around here" and Dwight blew her off saying that "he will make a big difference."

When Jim said the office played Call of Duty I almost did a spit take...at my office, we play COD!!!! Immediately texted a co-worker and told him that I'd be referring to him as "Jim" from now on as he's the office whipping boy at COD.

If I was stranded on an island, and had to pick on television show to bring with me, the Office would be my choice. Nothing on television has ever made me laugh as much as this show.

What's the dentist's name?

........Crentist.

This episode was great. Dwight groveling, Call of Duty, and Michael's silly analogies this time with a tiger and the monkey that stabs the tiger in the back. I love this show.

If, like many people suspect, the two offices merge, it could make for an interesting love-triangle for Jim.

I had an lol moment when Creed told Michael that Ed was decapitated.

Creed: "Humans can live for hours without their head"
Dwight: "I think you're thinking of a chicken"
Creed: "What did I say?"

:-D

Not a bad episode. The part where Toby tells Michael about the dead bird and then Michael and Dwight go find it ("You can't get diseases from a bird!")and the grief sharing were hilarious. And the beginning where Michael gets the things from the warehouse and Dwight is so amused was pretty funny.

"I gave it a 6 foot cord so it can't chase us"

I also loved Dwight's monologue how he'd like to frozen when he died so he could contemplate the hold his opponent had put him in until he could be revived.

Brilliant episode . One thing I really did love is that they showed Michael's soft side. He was so affected not because it was his boss, but because Michael has no one and fears no one will care if he passes away. And Pam caught this and hence took the burial somewhat seriously. Episodes like these (nice writing B.J. Novak!) really are wonderful in that they prevent Michael from becoming a cliche buffoon jerk boss. Bravo!

B.J. Novak is the temp right? Or, I mean, the guy who used to be a temp. So is he like one of the writers or something? The faces he makes when talking about his girlfriend crack me up.

I heart Pam, she's so freaking good; that eulogy she gave was brilliant! Her faces, the eye contact... I felt her.

Yeah BJ is one of three writers who also have regular roles. The others are Paul Lieberstein (Toby) and Mindy Kaling (Kelly). Also, Larry Wilmore played Mr. Brown in the Diversity Day episode.

My favorite BJ moment is from last season when Ryan was caught in the breakroom in the middle of Dwight and Angela's coded conversation about sex. Then they cut to the interview room and he has a horrified expression on his face.

That was a good one and I also liked the scene last season when Michael burned his foot on his George Foreman grill and fell in the bathroom. He said "Get Ryan and get something to wipe me up". The look on his face and shaking his head no was priceless. And then Toby said, "He's...dead" when Ryan motioned a throat cut.

Interestingly it seems NBC moved some episodes around. This episode was supposed to be shown next week. This week was supposed to be an episode where they visit Dwight's beet farm and some Amish jokes were cracked. After the shooting, NBC decided to move that one farther back in the season (maybe it'll be around next week).

Tonight's episode was excellent.

*The opening with Dwight trying to fool Ryan on the riddles. A nod to the Cosby Show and the UK version of the Office.
*Michael and Stanley high fiving. Never thought I'd see that happen.
*Loved the whole bit with the sqeuaky chair. Jim did break out the big guns with that annoying song.
*Something else I never thought I'd see is Dwight and Ryan bonding. But he's probably relieved that he's not being harassed by Kelly or Michael.
*Finally, the one thing that had been missing this season was Jim/Pam and they gave us that in the end.

That was the line of the season. I know it was in the previews, but I nearly fell down laughing off my couch.

I also liked how Dwight wanted Ryan to wrestle with FEAR (or, his cousin with "FEAR" written across his chest).

I did like how Pam was keeping a log of Michael's day and then at the end of the day realized that Michael closed a massive deal while seemingly goofing around all day (and getting the MOTHER of all sugar highs). One reason I like this show is that Michael isn't shown as a total buffoon.. you can see why he has the job, he's a wonderful salesman.

Also thought it was a great episode, and the seed line was my favorite as well. Also, really enjoyed the opening riddles and the chair bit.

Pam has always been very protective of Michael. There's the Dundies episode where she cheered him on to continue. In Casino Night, she waited to transfer him until after he made a stupid comment. Also, last week she did that very nice eulogy for him. I like that the show is very consistent in characterization and this is just one of many examples.

I went back today and was rewatching the third season. So many little things that I didnt catch the first time, or just thought was funnier or affected me differently the second time through. The part in the second episode where Toby finds out that Pam is single and you can see him trying to build up the courage to ask her out. The whole time I wanted to screm at him to just stop before the train wreck happens. That was so awkward to watch and he never even really said anything to her!

Great show.

Rewatched again last night. Did anyone else notice that Dwight's FEAR speech was much like his speech for Salesman of the Year?

Aye. She thinks he's an idiot, but there's some degree of affection there - he's their idiot!

Oh yeah, that was very amusing. Pretty well written adaptation of the song as well . Maybe Michael will find a nice Indian chick to replace Carol, who is totally freaked out over been given a marriage proposal on the 9th date .

Isn't Steve Carrell married to the cheerleader in real life? She used to be on SNL, for like a season when Cheri Oteri and Will Ferrell first started, I think.

The guy that sits in front of Jim at his new office cracks me up. Almost everything he says/does is gold.

I thought the ending was a cop out, once again illustrating the fundamental difference in tone between the British and American versions. The American version has continually shown an unwillingness to commit to the tradgedy of its characters. Not that it doesn't explore this tradgedy, and quite well, but all too often it is undermined by a scene that rings emotionally and psychologically untrue; scenes of forced, unnatural humor that seem almost offending in their condescension, as if the writers think we are incapable of dealing with raw emotion without the release of a dumbly comic safety valve.

All that said, it's still the best sitcom in some time.

Oh, and the best line of the season came when Dwight asked Ryan, "What is Michael Scott's biggest fear?"

"Loneliness... maybe women."
