Incredible Episode. This had it all, the comedy, the incredibly awkward moments, the drama, and the surprise cliff-hanger ending! And all this in only in twenty minutes. Charles Miner is a great addition to the show. The best quote was Pam’s, “It’s strippers and cupcakes all the way down.” Overall, this episode is the beginning to an incredible arc. What a way to start.

10/10

This episode was better than the last one. I was starting to worry after the last two episodes that the show was going downhill.

I wonder how many takes the cheese puff scenes took!

BOOOOOO. This was so depressing, along with two weeks. Aside from Toby, where are the jokes? Very disappointing turn of late.

Loved this episode. It harked back to the second series of the UK version. When Neil Godwin became David Brent’s new boss. He won over the entire office apart from David. The added tension between Jim and Charles is a good dramatic device. Jim’s never been happy being a paper salesman, now he has the catalyst to change. I also enjoyed the return to reality provided by Charles Miner. I believe he has a quirk yet to be revealed, but I know for sure this is not the end of Michael Scott!

Sorry, I think I started the debate. I acquit.

I can’t wait to see Charles handle an even more crazy Michael!

Regarding the quit vs. acquit debate:

Jenna confirmed on her myspace blog that Michael said, “I quit.”

Someone brought up a good point – where is Toby? Seriously, how could he not have been involved in this episode with a new boss???

It was very audible. It WAS “I quit.”

??? Where did this debate start? *smack*

I thought this was one of the best episodes this season (admittedly, not too difficult). It had the “tragicomedy” aspects I’ve always loved to watch. Can’t wait for the next episode!

Idris Elba was outstanding and a breath of fresh air.

It was great to see Jim finally have one of his jokes backfire.. Michael feels overmatched by the new boss and decides to resign.. great episode. the last scene with michael and david was golden.

Something I’m really curious about is Angela’s behavior toward Charles. She was extremely formal to him in public, like she was with Dwight when they were dating, and she trashes Kelly’s attempts to hit on him, then she has his scarf! I wonder if something’s going to happen on that front.

The only thing that bothered me was the fact Toby wasn’t involved in something he should have been, they haven’t showed him for a long time.

I think the delivery boy was the same as the kid Michael kidnapped

I feel so sad…I mean, Michael can’t quit… But, maybe all that stuff could be exactly what the series need… Anyway, I can’t wait to see the next episode…OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This episode was *so* awkward and funny and, IMO, poignant. Kudos the writers, cast & crew for a job well done. I was talking about it with a fellow “Office” fan and she said she couldn’t laugh at parts because she a) could hardly watch it, or b) was shocked by the turn of events.

(Personally, I blame Phyllis for the whole debacle. (I say this slightly tongue-in-cheek.))

The final scene with Michael & David Wallace was gold, also in my opinion. Looking forward to the next new ep!
