I liked the second part better, and I know I am in the minority. Not the best episode, not in my top 10 or 15. Creed was great, but everything Creed says is hilarious. The Jim-Dwight-Kelly and Pam-Michael-Karen dynamic was pretty good, and finally there is closure to the Karen-Jim-Pam arc. Overall, a so-so episode after the great ‘Stress Relief’, but milder and less over the top.

7.5/10

Does this mean Jim actually took Creed’s advice on Casino Night?

okay first of all, last episode when angela threw the cat through the ceiling i thought that was the greatest sight gag in office history. pam throwing the mini mounds is right up there with it. i watched it three times in a row and burst out laughing every time!
second – the talking head with jim and dwight simultaneously saying how stupid they thought the ppc was and bickering with each other – classic.
third, am i the only one who feels that the karen situation wasn’t resolved so neatly (which is a good thing, more realistic)? her husband is OBVIOUSLY a jim doppleganger and though she was nice to pam about it, she was obviously still hung up on jim with the way she asked about him and reacted to the news of the engagement.
lastly, pam talking about how al-qaeda would like her if they got to know her was classic pam. great episode.

Loved it! Someone referred to this episode earlier as perfectly balanced and I couldn’t agree more. Also, you know whose chemistry I love even more than Jim and Pam? Jim and Dwight…so what does that make them. Jwight? Dwim? I love when they have to work together on something! Perfection…can’t wait for Part 2.

Question. What episode number was Pt. 1? NBC says it’s 5.15, this says 5.16, and the promo video for it says 5.14. Which is it?

I can remember a time when I was not an “Andy” fan. I did not care for him and surely did not want him to come to Scranton. But time has changed my cold cold heart and I am now a big fan of Andy’s. When he was looking in the car and the alarm went off, and then the alarm went off in the car next to it, was just about the best part of this show. lol it was great!! I also feel sorry for him because of Angela breaking his heart. I guess I can say that I love Andy now. The end.

I agree this season has been uneven – in particular I did not really like the super bowl episode. But this episode was great! Very much like the older episodes of season 2, etc. Very funny! My favorite part was the exchange between Dwight, Kelly, and Jim :)

I LOVED this episode, I thought it was the best in a long while. Andy, Jim, Dwight, Pam & Michael, totally the best. Dwight’s party decorations were priceless.

I haven’t finished reading through all the comments yet, so I apologize if someone has already mentioned this…

When Creed said “Have I ever steered you wrong, Jim” to Andy, my first thought was just another case of Creed not knowing who’s who (like “Which one is Pam?”)

But then I took it to be a subtle throwback to Jim kissing Pam on Casino Night – as if Creed was the one who gave him the advice to just go ahead and kiss her.

If that was the writers’ intent, very subtle and brilliant!!

Haha, I love the little details like how Angela was constantly staring into the conference room in the scene with the half-blown-up balloons. It’s clear that she’s not very happy with losing her position.

I hope we have more scenes of Jim and Dwight as heads of the party planning committee!

Could anything be funnier than Dwight’s party decorations??
I’m looking forward to Michael and Pam’s visit to Holly’s office…

This episode brought back two of my favorite (and much-missed) pairings – Dwight/Jim and Pam/Michael.

Dwight and Jim need to do their talking heads together whenever possible from now on. Sheer brilliance.

Just watched this again. Is it just me, or is the entire part with Andy and Julia outside (and Andy getting rejected) eerily reminiscent of dialogue Michael says? I mean, everything from the pauses to the exact phrasing was exactly what Michael would have said in the same situation. Watch it again, and tell me if you agree.

Did anyone notice the awesome Canada sticker on Michael’s luggage, you can see it very clearly just when they enter Karen’s branch and talk to Rolanda (not sure about the spelling)

Awesome detail.

Great ep. I loved Dwight’s decoration “skills”. Clearly matching the carpet is the goal.

Keep it coming!
