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. ---

> [@Acsenray](#): > > – Multiple references to Pam’s breasts, including her rather pleased acknowledgement of their size 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.
