when did dwight and angela break up and why?? Sorry, I am new to the show and I am looking but can’t find it on the internet!
Nice episode… Can’t wait for the next one.
i loved this episode! one of my fav’s of the season
I think the important thing to consider in this episode is the tone. Negottations left an odd, un-office like taste in my mouth, not that it wasn’t an excellent episode, but hearing Pam describe Roy’s and Jim’s altercation was kind of overwhelmingly serious, more serious than death had been in grief conseling or any other 1/2 an episode i can think of.
Safety training showed to me that the show and life had returned to a sense of normalcy, which of course means maddness if you factor in jim and dwight. it felt ridiculous and fun even when discussing suicide, and i think daryl v mike interactions are amazing. Big fan of BJ’s episodes too on a whole.
One more thing that bothered me was the supersized negotiations seemed off a little to me. I didn’t need angela asking everybody what they thought of the fight, although creed’s description was hilarious. Also, it seemed unbelievable that dwight had all those weapons, when in previous episodes he talked about bringing his potato spud gun as if it were his only weapon. (can you imagine if i was deranged.)
safety training was neccesary and consistently hilarious. give me dwight rocking out on the moon and shunning dwight over pam moping any day. and more ryan
This episode was amazing. Enough said =D
The Darrell character has really impressed me the last few eps. His relationship with Mike delivers some great laughs. More Darrell!!
I must be one of the rare people that thought this was one of the more weaker episodes, but I guess it’s hard to follow up The Negotiations, which I thought was HILARIOUS
THANK YOU, Amy! So did I. I thought this might have been the funniest, and simplest yet most brilliant episode of the season. I watched it twice in a row and loved it both times!
I definitely thought this was the funniest episode for months. I love all of the romance, of course, but it was nice to take a break from that for a week. So many things were going on, with the betting, and the shunning, and Michael’s plan… I thought it was HILARIOUS!
uhshun-reshun-
They had a bet going that Creed wouldn’t notice if they swapped his apple out with a potato. And he did not. Because he is a gross (but funny) old man.
I didn’t like this episode at first but after watching it on my ipod a few more times it kind of grew on me. And can someone please explain the Creed/Apple/Potato thing to me?
I dont know what to think about this episode. It was just a little bit everywhere. Personally, not a huge fan of BJ writing any episode. Dont hate me for that, its just how i feel.
I was thinking this morning, and something occurred to me. Why does there HAVE to be plot development?? It’s just a day… safety training day to be exact.
Could you imagine if every day of your life you had plot development? I know I don’t want that. I need days where nothing all that exciting happens. And if there is something dramatic going on in my life (like a Jim/Pam thing), it wouldn’t be drama-filled until it was resolved. Sometimes you pretend like the situation isn’t there and act normal just to get through the day.
Why were Jim/Pam acting somewhat normal? Because it’s easier to do that, sometimes, than talk about it five nights in a row. :-) It’s supposed to be a documentary, and just like in real life, sometimes you just have days and weeks where nothing substantial happens.
Although I think a fake near suicide is something substantial. Can I get an amen?
Haha! I loved that episode! Especially when Michael says ” Dwight, you ignorant slut. “
wow i don’t even care.
i just hella like your icon.
I dont think that it felt like the whole dialogue with Ryan because we usually hear so little from him. He just seems like the person who wants to keep to himself because he’s too afraid to open up. He prefers to stick to business and maybe he’s even a little shy and that’s what comes off as arrogant and pretentious. Maybe the comments Michael made during the business school episode made him want to open up and become a little more part of the office.
I think Ryan and Kelly have their good moments – I read an interview with BJ where he said Ryan just liked being loved, or something. But he was still a little cynical – using your girlfriend to win a few bucks. I did love the betting stuff, and Michael on the roof = moderately funny. My question: why “sea monster”? I mean, I know the dude’s big, but….like a….whale? Didn’t get it. That whole scene made me uncomfortable. I know Kelly’s annoying, but telling a girl she wants to sleep with you and then telling her boyfriend to shut her up…not funny on its own, and they didn’t do anything to make it laughable. To me.
This wasn’t my favorite episode. It felt disjointed, there wasn’t really any character development, and Michael and Daryl both seemed particularly unlikable. But it was still pretty funny. BJ’s long-sleeved tee comments had me cracking up…
Seriously, I love Kryan (and for that matter I love BJ and Mindy as well), but did anyone feel like Ryan/BJ stopped acting and was just a happy boyfriend? It didn’t seem to fit Ryan, who always seems a little cynical and just a tad cold at times. (Remember, he kept trying to break up with Kelly? He stole Jim’s desk and his rude comment to Jim when Jim wanted his help with a prank on Dwight.)
Alright. So it seems like this episode wasn’t hugely popular with most people, but I for one LOVED it.
It was SO Funny.
Seriously, there were so many great lines and great scenerios, and while the entire episode might not have seemed to be in sequence or whatever, I still think it was hilarious. It had parts for a lot of the characters, and it didn’t drag to freqently on any relationships.
I much preferred it to last weeks episode, “The Negotiation”, which seemed to drag (it WAS a supersize episode) and wasn’t very humorous. Except for Michael wearing a woman’s suit, of course.
