   There were many shots in this episode that were rather unusual. For instance, the camera was on the floor when Pam was reading the setup manual, and it was peeking through the blinds when Jim and Michael were talking. Who came up with the ideas for the new camera angles?

   Are we supposed to pretend that Jan doesn’t exist any more? where is Jan? she has been gone for some time since the baby shower episode. but recently when Michael’s new boss puts down Jim calling his title made up….i feel like we are forgetting that Jan gave Jim that title and that it did come with a pay raise.

   First of all, thank you for a wonderful episode!
   My question is: How long have you guys had the idea of Michael starting his own paper company? It seems like you guys needed to have this planned out to work with the scheduling for the rest of the season. Also, who came up with the idea? It’s sooo Michael! “This is a dream I’ve had since lunch.” I love it!
   Thanks for all of your work on The Office. It really is the greatest show on television.

   With Pam out of the office, are we still going to be able to see interaction between Jim & Pam, particularly in regards to wedding planning?

   I was VERY frusterated that Pam didn’t even talk with Jim about her decision. Don’t they BOTH have a mortgage to pay right now? And when will we EVER see some JAM interaction?? I’d love to see some wedding planning or acknowledgement of being ENGAGED!!!! :) But y’all do a TERRIFIC job!! :)

   Many movie references in this one…
   1) Pam leaving w/ Michael = Jerry Maguire
   2) Pam and Michael walking down the street for a looonnngg time = end of The Graduate
   3) Oscar’s quote “just like that, as mysteriously as he appeared, he was gone” = The Usual Suspects (one GREAT movie).
   4) Dwight and Michael’s “put a pin in that” = Bolt (the actor’s smarmy agent), maybe also from another movie I’m not familiar with.

   …and I’m sure there are others I missed. Tobey’s comment about it being like watching a movie on a plane is a further clue re: the movie references.

   Other scenes I wonder about that might be a movie reference…Minor almost coming to blows w/ Michael, Michael crawling on the floor around the office, Oscar “just saying it’s sterile doesn’t make it so”

   Entertaining episode

   How come Michael didn’t get an exit interview with Toby?

   Just thought of this, as I rewatching……Was the cold opening regarding Michael’s saying “I quit”? added after all the discussion last week about if he really said, “I quit?”

   Why did he have to give a two weeks notice?
   Was it in his contract?
   I know it’s courtesy, but Michael doesn’t seem like someone who would care about that.

    Had Jim and Pam talked about Pam quitting before she did? Jim just didn’t seem all that surprised or upset, which surprised me!

    #62 I think it might have been from the movie Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
    Who on the writing staff is a fan of Willy Wonka?
    There have been a few episodes with lines from the movie in them. My favorite of course would have to be Andy singing the Oompa Loompa song.

    The shot of the camera zooming into the bathroom through the little grate at the bottom of the door was so unique and added a lot to that scene. Was that written into the script, or was it a decision made by Paul Lieberstein while directing? How was it set up/shot?

    I thought Toby’s talking head about Michael being like an in-flight movie was wonderful- which made my friend ask me: So, Toby doesn’t entirely dislike Michael does he? What Toby said was kinda, almost sweet.

    Why remove Pam from the office again? We haven’t seen a lot of Jim and Pam actually interacting with each other this season, and I kind of miss it. Is there any hope of that now that she’s gone, again?

    This might be a little off topic from all of The Office talk but, my two all time favorite shows are Everybody Loves Raymond and The Office. And… you used to write on Everybody Loves Raymond, right? Are there any similarities to writing on The Office compared to writing on Everybody Loves Raymond? Any differences? Great episode! Thanks a lot! :)

    Why so dark lately? Kind of depressing. Any chance we will be seeing some more office pranks? also, any chance Andy will have gone to Cornell College in Iowa instead of “Cornell, ever heard of it” that he has bragged so much about? Thanks.

    With his new dream to open a paper company, is it safe to say that Michael Scott’s dream of “Shoe La-La” has ended?

    First of all, great episode! I’m really excited to see how Michael’s company goes (and I hope Holly is its first HR rep! :D).

    I have a few questions:

    1. I totally understand why Pam left, and I understand why Jim wasn’t upset about it. My question is, has Pam totally given up on pursuing something artistic as a career? It seemed like she was really enjoying her time as an art student until she found out she was failing that one class (her sudden negative feelings towards graphic design seemed unrealistic to me). What exactly was it that made her decide she’d rather pursue art as a hobby and not a career?

    2. What does Angela see in Charles Minor? Is it just that he, like her, has no sense of humor? Also, I find it funny that Angela and Kelly both like him, and they have both also been romantically linked to Dwight in the past to some degree–was this intentional?

    3. How does Dwight feel about all of these new developments (Michael quitting/leaving, Charles Minor being in charge, Angela’s crush)? He’s been surprisingly silent on the whole matter.

    okay, Why was Jim so cool with Pam leaving her job to follow Michael? I mean, Jim swore that if Dunder Mifflin were ever his career he would “throw himself in front of a train” and in the last episode, he called this job his career, which I assume is only because of the fact that he now has a mortgage to pay, which Pam is obviously assisting with. They are now down an income AND Jim will be left alone with the mean Charles.

    I love the noises and accents that Ed Helms incorporates into his character. Are these scripted or does he come up with them himself?

    Thanks for a brilliant show!
