In this episode, “Baby Shower,” Jan breastfeeds her new baby. But in a previous season, she got breast implants. I thought that when a woman gets breast implants, she can’t breast-feed a baby anymore. Or did I miss something?

Yeah, I agree with that. Same goes for Business Ethics. Both episodes had their moments but fell flat in the end. I loved Crime Aid, though, so I’m not complaining about that, but why haven’t they re-played Weight Loss? But no -they’re re-running Stress Relief instead.

Seriously, is there some political reason why this will be, like, the fourth time this particular episode is being shown this year? I think we’ll know it by heart!

Dwight trying to destroy Jan’s stroller is probably the dumbest subplot in Office history.

Maybe this is a bit obvious and has already been said, but Michael and Holly = Molly.

or Jim and or Pam could stay with the other on weekends.

I also don’t understand why they need to call each other during the daytime. Didn’t Jim learn anything about stealing company time in “Business Ethics”? If it’s too much of a hassle for them to speak during work/school hours why not wait until the night?

For me the only part that fell flat for me in Baby Shower was Jan’s singing (no pun intended). It just seemed more like an amusing deleted scene. Loved Creed’s comment on the afterbirth! Such a classic line you would never hear on any other show on television.

Honestly, even though so many people have said the show is dying out and “inferior to Seas. 1&2,” I think it is starting to get a second wind after the slowness of season four. It is looking for meaning outside of just Jim and Pam, and it will find it. Just give the writers time.

I guess I just don’t understand why Jim and Pam don’t see each other more. If they’re really that desperate for each other, why doesn’t Jim get in his car and drive into the city?! He leaves his office at 5:00 apparently and could be with Pam for dinner at 7:00. I’m assuming the office doesn’t get going until 9:00, so he could easily stay the night with her (at least a few days a week).Seems like their problem could be easily remedied.

I loved that episode. Holly is deeply into the bottom of my heart, and I wish Jan would go instead of her…

Btw, I frankly don’t know that’s wrong with season 5.
seriously, in season 2 everybody dreamt of jim and pam finally together, and then finally when they got together, it’s boring. I just don’t get it!

well this episode bring me one of my fav quote ever: Jim: This baby will be related to Michael through…delusion.

First off, for anyone who has ever been in a long-term relationship, the Pam-Jim thing was spot on.
Second, I thought the same thing about whether that baby is Angela’s in real life (forgive me, I don’t remember the actress’s name – isn’t it actually Angela?).
And third, this is one of the better episodes in a long time, because Michael was very much himself, but still incredibly likeable. Maybe it’s terrible of me, but I have never liked Michael more than when he said he just felt short-changed holding ass-turd. For all of his LACK of self-awareness, it was a bright shining spot that reminds you of just how sensitive he is.

I agree with #243-Agent Scarn. This doesn’t even seem like the same show anymore. I think the writers should go back and watch Seasons 1-2 for a refresher course. I really do not like the Dwight-Angela-Andy triangle and how psychotic they have made Jan become.

i agree with the synchronized voice messages – a little too cliche for me. also, dwight’s plotline was a bit too much.
michael and holly were cute though! i hate jan.
i liked last week’s episode better.

So, people have already started to brainstorm, but we definitely need to find a name for Holly and Michael…

Just watched the scene again on nbc.com where Jan asks Michael not to date Holly and after she drives off, I noticed the stroller they bought her, she left by the front door. She didn’t even take their gift home.

I loved this episode. The writers demonstrated once again a capability to surprise and move us by unexpectedly revealing something endearing and human in these characters. Michael began this episode as a deluded, annoying, unstoppable idiot, yet somehow in only 22 minutes we saw an incredibly pure and tender side of him that gave us a way to relate. My heart was pounding as much as during JAM’s first real kiss when Michael moved in towards Holly and held her. I cried!

There were too many parts I liked to talk about them all. But I came away once again thinking, “Damn! This is the best show on TV!”

This may have already been said but I think the baby in the scenes is Angela’s baby Isabel!!
