I loved the ending. It was so anticlimactic.

I really liked this episode. I think they are revisiting the whole dunder miffilin in trouble thing because in all the seasons, there was downsizing, and multiple branches closing. Because of the bad economy, it is very believable that dunder mifflin is having major financial problems, considering they have had minor problems over the years.
Overall a great episode!!!

I love how amidst the crazy behavior in the office there is an element of cold truth that many of us can relate to. Like Oscar talking about how to fix the company and then clamming up when he finally gets an opportunity to have his voice heard. Or Jim having to discpline a difficult employee. I can relate to both. This is why I love the show. It makes work relationships funny when in fact they are often stressful. I remain a devoted fan.

@ 98 Nick

On “When Harry Met Sally”, a friend of Sally’s says…you don’t miss him at all? (after Sally’s break-up with Joe) and she says “I don’t, I really don’t. I think I just miss the idea of him.”

That’s the only thing I could think of for a reference point for this line.

I liked this episode. Although I noticed the continuity thing with the open, it really didn’t bother me much. And I loved that Pam almost forgot to support Jim. Great to see Jim put Ryan in his place (yummy) and LOVED Dwight’s comment about his shirt guy.
I wanted to swing by the garment district…pick up a few crates of my shirts. I got a shirt guy.
I heart Dwight and everything that he chooses to be.

All I have to say is that I love all the scenes involving Michael, Oscar, Dwight and Andy. Michael getting the crowd to cheer for him, and then standing up for himself against those corporate big wigs, and the finale of getting the other guys and making a getaway. We need to see more episodes with those four.

Post #68/Collins: *Sigh*, CFO and CEO are very different things (CFO is chief financial officer, CEO is chief executive officer), one of the new characters in the episode is the CEO, Wallace is still the CFO.

What is the point of this insolvency storyline? I feel like Dunder mifflin going under is getting overused now, it was already used in seasons 1-3. Any ideas/theories on why they chose to revisit this story again?

Liked it. Loved it. Want more of it. The crew is hitting their groove again. However, I have not liked the opening the past two shows. For me, Dwight is funniest in a supporting role in different scenes and not as some crazy and unrealistic “Recyclop”.

So, after watching it for the 3rd time…
1. I LOVE how Kevin swings his elbows while running down the stairs to check out the limo. : )
2. When Michael makes that “Mr Zamboni is on thin ice” comment, Oscar is in the foreground laughing and the look on his face is just blank joy. Wouldn’t he be more likely to be rolling his eyes or looking pained b/c his boss is so inept?
3. Wouldn’t Michael have already met Dunder Mifflin’s CEO – esp if he has been with the company for over a decade, gotten involved in Jan’s lawsuit, etc???
4. The Erntedankfest line…wow. FAVORITE line of the episode. nicely done!
5. Ok I lied – maybe even MORE, I love Jim and Ryan’s discussion about how to deal with the fact that Ryan is a distracted perfectionist who can’t be bothered to work…and then he’s given the little closet office! Perfect!!! Love it.
Great ep. Reminds of season 1!

I loved the Recyclops opener where we saw all the old receptionists. That was hilarious!

The one thing I did not like about this episode was that it was obviously not New York City.

And, BTW, where are the comments. I guess some people did not know there was an episode because all shows were down this week in ratings; not just the office.

Anyway, the little continuity error was okay, just I wish they could make it look more like NYC.

Otherwise, Great episode. 9/10

I loved this episode too. Wow, the writers have really been on par this season. There really hasn’t been one episode that I hated. I loved the Oscar thing, and the Jim-Pam “apple picking” exchange haha. The cold open wasn’t that funny, but I loved the changing receptionists over the years!!

Just wonderful at the end where the ‘real’ workers got to reap the benefits for once in the limo. The script writers are crossing into some new corporate themes (no surprise, it is called The Office). The small details were clever – loved the ‘exhausted’ Recyclops drinking a soda.

I really loved this episode for a lot of reasons. Jim vs. Ryan was fantastic, and really shows how much he is growing as a person. It also shows what a good manager he actually is becoming. He’s starting to use his strengths to deal with things in a smart (and funny) way. I also have to admit that at first I was disappointed that Oscar didn’t have the guts to say what he wanted to say, but then I stepped back and realized that the fact that I care that much about him being brave only proves what a great show The Office really is. The characters have gotten to me and I actually care what happens in their lives. Even Recyclops was hilarious…mainly b/c of the other characters’ reactions. I’m very impressed with my favorite show! :)

I loved the Recyclops bit at the beginning and you get to see Jim and Pam from four years ago. Jim is so apathetic. Funny.

I love it whenever Oscar is involved in the action. He’s a great straight guy.

My whole family has been spinning over this for days. Ryan’s line “Do you love her, or do you love the idea of her?” It’s from a movie isn’t it? I can’t remember what movie, but I know I’ve heard it before. Anyone know?

I agree with Mark #82, as it was something I noticed too.

Michael Scott = the Don Quixote of Modern Corporate America. I love it.
