Yay…the good Old Office was back. Things had been getting too cringe worthy and not enough funny. I loved it. The Jim-Dwight dichotomy, the rest of the office hijinks (Stanley, Andy, Creed), Michael being so Michael and Pam putting up with it in her Pam way… all seem to lead back to the first couple of seasons. Can’t wait for next week’s episode.
I’m such a sappy romantic…I really want Michael and Holly back together! I thought they were just perfect for each other!
Also, I really saw the desperation in Andy and it endeared me to him. The whole kiss thing was creepy, but that was Creed’s fault! You’ll find your love, Nard-dog!

I don’t understand all the Karen hate. I’ve loved her…always. As for Jim and Dwight? Comic gold!!

No love for the Creed gag at the end? Best part of the episode.

I need to watch this episode again. I think I was too tired to enjoy it fully last night, but there was still a lot of funny. I wasn’t too much of a fan of the Andy storyline, which is probably why I was feeling a little down on the rest of the episode. I’m guessing this is the “C” plot that would have been cut if this wasn’t turned into a two-parter. But I loved the return of the Pam we all know, love, and sorely missed. If anyone can win over Al-Qaeda, it would be Pam Beesly! And I’m extremely glad they ended Karen’s story on a positive and sweet note. Even though Pam got the man, it’s nice to know she feels somewhat guilty about the fact that Karen, who was her friend for at least a little bit, got hurt.

I loved this episode! Although, I think I might have been influenced by Miss Jenna Fischer though. She said it was her favorite episode of the season on her Myspace blog! I love her and Michael together. I enjoyed seeing Rashida Jones again and wrapping up that storyline. I am excited for Parks and Recreation- I hope it lives up to all of our expectations. Jim and Dwight working together = Awesomenesss!! I love this show!!

I thought it was Stanley’s daughter too… and that Karen’s husband looked like Jim. You are not alone! LOL!

It wasn’t my favorite episode of the season so far, but it was still pretty good. Michael’s mnemonic devices were really funny. I also loved the cold open. I’m excited to see how the rest of the episode plays out next week.

Personally, I thought we had a little too much “bad Michael” in this episode, and Andy’s plot also veered into the “cringe-inducingly awkward” category. But both plots had their moments, and the Jim/Dwight plot was quite good.

I wouldn’t name it as “one of the strong episodes” of the season, though I also had no problems with some of this season’s earlier episodes that Kath and others complained about, so I guess my tastes are just a bit different.

I thought I was the only one who thought that was Stanley’s daughter, && I also thought I was the only one who thought her husband looked like Jim…

Gotta love the return of Jim’s scissors, in his back pocket ;]

My favorite part of the episode was the fact that Pam was still making Michael sit in the back seat. Remember the Diwalii episode from S-3? I love those small details they add for all us hardcore fans. That seriously made me crack up!

I loved the whole Dwight/Jim dynamic in this episode. Anytime they have to work together, i love it! Hey, my birthday is march 22, maybe jim and dwight can plan a joint party. I can not wait to watch the second half next week!

I loved this episode, it did feel very much “Old” Office. Dwight and Jim were priceless, I loved the whole interaction and I love that Jim sucks at planning birthdays for his coworkers. The balloons were just ridiculously funny, just the sight of them made me laugh!

Pam and Michael were great of course, I think Pam may be the best person to handle Michael, she almost has a motherly authority over him.

I did enjoy seeing Karen again, It did seem too bad that the whole Jim thing had to become between Pam and Karen, b/c I betcha those two would be best friends.

As a whole, I really loved this episode!

Okay, I’m way over Karen F. Reliving old memories here but when she asked and Jim answered that he still had feelings for Pam, Karen should have just chalked it up to ‘he’s not that into me’ – so no, no feeling sorry for her. She tried at every turn to keep JAM apart for which unspeakable act I shall not forgive … not now, not ever.
