According to Dunderpedia when Michael and Dwight were walking a sign saying Keyser Valley was there, and it’s a real place in Scranton. Little details like this make this show awesome.

I also have to disagree with Jess #101. Michael would certainly blame Dwight. In “Drug Testing” in season 2, Michael used Dwight’s clean urine so he could pass his drug test. Dwight then felt so guilty that he quit from being a volunteer sherriffs deputy. I think that this is a similar scenario to where he blamed Dwight for the Golden Ticket idea.

I have been reading the coments here, and I am going to agree with Jessie on this, becuase while we have seen some different parts of michael this season, in “Golden Ticket” he is acting much like he did way back in season 2. I also just realized how long ago the first episode was. Going on 5 years… WOW.

Schrutedlt22/Jess agreed with my point on Michael’s character arc. I was waiting for a response, and #103, you hit the nail on the head. Well put.

Great episode. I loved it when Dwight said he’d write Jim up for insubordination after suggesting Dwight shouldn’t fall on his sword for Michael. LOL.

Did anyone else notice Dwight’s Nazi uniform coat?? Also, “trapped in an oil painting” is another Roald Dahl reference from his book, The Witches. Funny that Michael would say that without knowing about the book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory…by Roald Dahl.

Great job, Mindy!

I have to disagree with Jess and SchrutedIt on this one. I thought Michael was very in-character this episode. Remember the oven mit incident in “Christmas Party”? Remember how he reacted to Kevin’s skin cancer scare in “Michael’s Birthday”? We haven’t seen this side of Michael for a while, but we’ve seen it before. As much as Michael tries to insist that he is for his people, he really has very little regard for anyone but himself. That is part of what’s fun about the character though – he has these two conflicting pieces of his personality and you never quite know whether his empathy or his selfishness will win out.

This was one of the funniest episodes of the season.
Ok what am I thinking right now?
Um… nacho chips.
No! I was thinking about how skin is the largest organ of the body.

Well done, Mindy! Well done.

Schrutedlt22 said:
“Though I enjoyed the episode, I’m very displeased with Michael’s character arc (or lack thereof) this season. He’s always been a dolt, but at least in seasons 1-3 (and a few episodes in 4) he was a well-meaning dolt whose heart was (mostly) in the right place. He had moments of anger, but those edges were softened by the show’s close.

This season, though, there have been too many episodes where Michael is petty, vindictive or downright mean and there’s no resolution. It’s distracting because it’s completely out of character. Michael Scott’s one of my all-time favorite TV characters, so this is very disheartening. I hope the upcoming shows dispense with Mean Michael.”

I completely agree. When he tried to blame Dwight I literally yelled at my TV, “HE WOULDN’T DO THAT!”. I didn’t care for this episode.

I really felt that this was the best episode so far this season. The writing/comedy was spot on. Does anyone think that Wallace is trying to set up Michael to get rid of him? I recently watched the UK version, and David(their version of Michael) is terminated. Could this happen to Michael?

I just watched the episode again and noticed Michael’s board in the conference room spelled MGM (marketing greatness Michael.) Was Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory an MGM movie?

Awesome episode! Way to go Mindy!

I enjoyed seeing that Andy is working through his demons with the demise of his relationship with Angela (his discouraging advice to Kevin).

Nice to see Kevin falling in love. After Stacey he needs some loving care. Too funny when he was “saying exactly what’s on my mind” and it was going great until “boobs” slipped out. Funny.

Jim, Dwight, and Michael all providing lots of good humor. I will sit down and watch this one again tonight.

My favorite part of the entire episode was Michael’s reaction to discovering someone has found a golden ticket. He rolls out of his office, then, my favorite line: “Ooohohoo! La di doo! Do to pa ta! Tell me! Was it, a spoiled little girl with big lips, or an odd little boy….. with a cowboy obsession? Invite them on the tour!”

MICHAEL SCOTT IS MY LIFE!!!!
