418476, The Office 12/4 The Surplus - Any Thoughts?
Posted by iboycottedimdb, Wed Dec-31-69 07:00 PM

Personally, I liked it! It sort of returned a little more to that wackiness that involved the whole office that I like.

The Dwight-Angela-Andy dynamic was hilarious.

Less Jim and Pam. MORE HANK!!!!

Thumbs up from me!

418495, good episode

I like it when more people in the office play a role...it was nice to even see Hank get some screen time.

Jim and Pam weren't annoying this episode, I actually liked their little rivalry...especially Jim's final payback at the end

Interesting plot twist on the Dwight-Angela-Andy relationship...wonder if Dwight messed up his last chance of getting back with Angela.

418546, Hank had me howlin', yo! Especially knocking on the copy machine.

418496, why is that in the kitchen?
Posted by will_5198, Thu Dec-04-08 11:05 PM

very funny...maybe my favorite of the season

I'm rooting for Mr. Bernard in this triangle -- a man needs intercourse

the main conflict was a great office situation. please more of those, instead of cop-out trips everywhere.

even Jim and Pam had a good dynamic, right until the final tacky scene

418499, That may have been one of their funniest scenes ever... n/m

That final scene was nice. Had Jim bitched out, well then I would agree, but he held his ground - respect due.

418631, That was probably the best moment of their relationship so far...
Posted by Mole, Fri Dec-05-08 03:24 PM

It's what the writers should've been doing with them this whole time -- maintaining the jokey dynamic between them even though their status has changed.

418518, Good episode

I didn't dig the twist of Dwight and Angela being married, but everything else was fine

That was a little much for me. Everything else was cool.

Also, props to Jim at the end there.

418846, You're such a MAN.

418685, When he mentioned Burlington, I lost it.
Posted by iboycottedimdb, Fri Dec-05-08 08:49 PM

Everyone knows Burlington is the most craptastic department store in circulation.

Oscar had me laughing.

418858, I love Oscar. He seems to be the most level-headed of the bunch.

419016, I loved his explanations to Michael
Posted by MadDagoNH, Mon Dec-08-08 01:01 PM

That was on some, 'Part of my job is to just deal with this retard' shit. He was calm and knew exactly how Michael needed to hear it. Fantastic. "Your mom and dad give you 10 dollars for a lemonade stand..."

418759, best episode in a while
Posted by damngirlobserver, Sat Dec-06-08 02:09 PM

they got back to office shenanigans

and that was the best pam and jim storyline of the season by far...didn't seem fabricated like a lot of their problems have been

dwight jumped the gun too...he was damn close...how are you gonna trick a girl into marrying you and think she'll be happy?

418891, It fits his character
Posted by NoShelter, Sun Dec-07-08 05:26 PM

remember the whole reason they broke up is because he euthanized her cat without telling her. He has always been about doing these over the top things without telling anyone.

419012, oh definitely
Posted by damngirlobserver, Mon Dec-08-08 12:49 PM

which is why it could be so funny

you could see that coming too...decked out barn, dude speaking german, both of them saying "i do"

andy 'bout to see angela naked i think

419368, Both of you made excellent points.

I like the office. On list of shows I keep up with. Is the UK version of the office any good? I'm thinking about checking it out.

1. Dexter
2. The Unit
3. Brotherhood
4. The Office
5. Life

Best episode in a while and good to have some good tension between Pam and Jim. They both played it well. i would have liked more creed.

Hank was funny "I know what a surplus is".

419451, More Creed is always better!

It was like a throw back show. We got straight up classic Michael and Dwight.
