you guys all said the office would be better with michael...i mean lol

I thought this was a great episode. Hopefully this keeps up.

I meant without* michael ^

Great opening, agree it felt like the old days, maybe 1st episode in last 2 seasons that I haven't drifted off and been playing on my phone by the 1/2 way point, hopefully it'll be a trend and not just an outlier, I want to be optmisitic but it'll take a solid showing this week to get me there, or next week I mean if the debate is this Thursday.

no new ep tonight due to VP debate

and i have no idea what anyone enjoyed about the last ep beyond the opening

Watched an episode yesterday, kind of sad how the show is going out. I guess at least they added Clark Duke....

Welp, I made it this far. Haven't watched one yet, but I might as well finish off the series. Off to Hulu.

Saw something that said Bryan Cranston (Walt White from Breaking Bad) is somehow involved in the next episode?

He's directing it

Yea, just came here to mention that Cranston directed it. Find that pretty interesting.

Any good tonight?

****ing terrible

Terribly tolerable.

Creed not only killed it, but he stuffed the body in a giant drum and slow cooked it for days to dispose of it.

I'm surprised at the reaction - that was pretty good, relatively speaking. If this was in an earlier season I don't think there'd be any big complaints.

My main problem was that the first few minutes were TOO Michael Scott. The last episode had a Michael-esque storyline for Andy that kind of reminded of old times and worked, but this time it really felt like they just used an old unused Michael bit with Andy in his place - making a ****ty video that overuses some slang meme from a few years ago and has his self-serving 'Andy Bernard presents...' at the beginning and whatever, then hating on Toby in the first scene after the credits? Those are Michael's things. If even Michael had've done that video I think people would've rolled their eyes and said they'd seen it before.

Otherwise pretty good, though. Laughed at a few points. Buildingkinder, Dwight's reaction to learning about the prank, 'regular or lady on her back? you used lady on her back, didn't you you freak? yuck', Kevin/Oscar and the pie at the end. All pretty good.

I skipped through the roll-call chant on the bus, though. Seemed immediately like it was going to be painful.

Oh yeah, the Creed bit was awesome.

Actually, I didn't mind it in the least. Standard for the season so far.

Just rewatched the first episode of this season, and Andy's little laugh at the end when talking about recycling and revenge was too much like Michael's.

wtf am I watching and most importantly why am I still watching it

Way to much Nelly week she's a supporting character on a show that is wrapping up this season, I don't need to see her trying to reach her goals and hear about her backstory every damn week.

Agree with buddy that the softball video was definitely a Michael Scott leftover and yeah I think Nelly is being way overused and the whole Andy being crappy to her got old a few episodes ago. On a positive note a few of the Kevin scenes were solid, and of course Creed getting on the bus, and I actually loved the Shaboya Roll Call, but mainly for nostalgia, haven't heard that since I was in high school.

The opening was possibly the worst yet. I actually cringed for the actors for having to participate in it.

Didn't like the episode as a whole. Creed part was hysterical but too much Kevin

Andy is so over the top nasty to Nellie at this point it's almost uncomfortable to watch.

i dont know, i thought Andy falling with the gatorade was pretty damn funny

Somehow forgot about that, definite LOL moment, don't care you "easy" the comedy is when people fall or get knocked over, always cracks me up.
