I absolutely loved this episode. It's kind of sad that some people don't want Pam to grow. There is nothing wrong with her being assertive. She is no longer the same person she was before she lived in New York. It's inevitable. However, I don't know where this thing with "Dwangelandy" is going. Love that name!!! Pam is so funny. "There's that hot ass..No don't take it away." Jim's look....all priceless. No haters here! I absolutely loved this episode. It’s kind of sad that some people don’t want Pam to grow.

Everyone sits in their chairs for nearly all 8 hours of the day. Copies are only needed every now and again. I have to say that I love the fact that Jim doesn't feel comfortable having Pam make copies for him. I love that they are comfortable enough in their relationship to start exerting power in a playful way. As someone with a crap back, I am certainly TEAM CHAIR!

It was definitely better than the last one. I agree though, about missing ye Angela Martin of olde... But, I think that was the point of her making out in the Office. She would never have done that without intense provocation. Pam and Jim were fabulous in this episode. I loved this take on them. More of it, please. I loved the episode.

Anytime we get office politics dominating an episode we get a great episode. Michael was being the Michael we have all come to know and love. What's with people getting down on Pam? Several people in the office were asserting themselves over this - so why are people picking on Pam? Don't forget that she has been lobbying for a new chair for a year now. She managed to get new ones for everyone - not just herself. I loved her in this episode. And the marriage thing in the barn? I saw it coming a mile away too - but I think that was the point. This show often lets us in on the joke early and it allows us to watch the reactions without having to wait for a re-watch of the episode. Second "Classic" episode of the season IMHO.

There were only a couple of LOL moments for me, including Angela having to convince Dwight not to slaughter animals on the wedding day, and Andy stepping in animal crap in the kitchen?!?! Otherwise, though, I saw the bait-and-switch marriage thing coming from a MILE away, and thought it was pretty dumb, frankly. Of course Angela would be pissed! Dwight would know better than that. And the whole surplus thing.... while true, I dunno.... just didn't do it for me. And Pam as cut-throat beyotch was really odd, too. Was not feeling this episode.

I like that they can create tension with JAM without jeopardizing the relationship. They didn't take the easy route and I applaud that. They were cute. I agree with Ryan's assessment: Solid but not spectacular. I liked the JAM stuff and the Dwangelandy stuff individually but I don’t think this episode was LOL hilarious.
