The Office, Doomsday, Nov. 4, 2011 (Season 8, episode 6)

This is the first episode this season which I will have to admit I found kind of boring.

Some highlights though –

– Robert California and Andy’s meeting at the beginning, ending with, “Sometimes I think you don’t understand food at all.”

– Multiple references to Pam’s breasts, including her rather pleased acknowledgement of their size

– “He’s at a club where they either eat squash or play squash.” “I’ll try both.”

– I liked the new warehouse girl that Gabe crushed on

Dwight, Jim, and Darryl bored me. The whole A-plot was too cartoonish. I couldn’t believe that Andy would have gone along with it.

Yeah, it was weak. If the computer can tell you’ve submitted a delivery order before payment is received or that you entered an incorrect invoice amount, the computer should prevent you from doing that. And why would Dwight sabotage the whole office including himself?

The cold open (“Closing Time”) was also weak.

I did like “They dug the worst hose grave I ever saw.” and “What kind of milk would you like? Don’t say cow.”

“If you find another horse you dug too far” was hilarious though.

I actually enjoyed this the most of any episode this season… sure it was totally implausible in many parts, but at least a lot of it was actually funny… I’d say most episodes this season have been around a C, and this was around a B.

Weak episode in a season of weak episodes. But speaking of breasts, there were a couple shots of Erin that made both my wife and me blurt out “look at her tits!”

Whether it was a perfect storm of lighting and wardrobe, or some strategic padding, she looked uncharacteristically boobalicious last night.

Well, the commercials for this one were totally [del]misleading[/del] lying, claiming someone was getting fired and that’s what was in Dwight’s file folder.**

I don’t think it was bad, but it wasn’t great. I like Andy as boss better than Michael, (gasp!), but the whole cast now is just too cartoonish.
