Not the funniest episode yet, but definitely the sweetest. Rainn deserves an Emmy. And Mose was hilarious. Who was the actor? ---

Any time Ryan and Michael interact makes me laugh out loud. Starting up and running Powerpoint? Total riot, especially the download window with ‘estimated time: 12 minutes’ to download the update Michael accepted… and Michael saying it will take about six or seven minutes. Ryan manages to be very professional and not punch Michael. I can sympathize with that day and night. Also, when Andy was chatting with Pam and spread his legs out real far to lower himself down to the counter/desk height was perfectly, stupidly funny, for almost no good reason. I though the ‘whomever’ argument was 90% perfect. If someone would have diagrammed the sentence, I’d have sent the writers a fruit basket. ---

[QUOTE=Eleanor of Aquitaine] We had to watch the “whoever” vs. “whomever” conversation about three times to pick up all of the comments. (“Not a native speaker.”) This was my favorite episode of the season. There were several laugh-out-loud moments. Pam and Jim at Dwight’s farm was hilarious, and I loved Angela’s restaurant requirements: “Nothing fancy or foreign. No bars or patios. And no seafood.” [/QUOTE] Angela also said “no vegetables”, but I could have sworn she was vegetarian. ---

Damn it. This is the second week I’ve been too tired to stay up to watch. Tell me about the “Jim talking about life without Pam” scene. Actually, I did see the scene with Mose in the outhouse. I must’ve been shifting positions or something. ---

Excellent episode. A ton of laughs. I thought Jim’s reaching out to Dwight was touching. And, then funny by Dwight’s turn to hug him and Jim was smart enough to exit beforehand. I thought the Schrute Farm stuff was super funny, but I was expecting people here to hate it because it was out of the office and not super realistic. I am glad to see I was wrong, it seems like everyone thought it was funny. Yay! I loved the Ryan/Dwight stare down. Man that was funny. “I have started to get excited everytime I see that little guy come into the office.” Great stuff. I have loved the hour episodes, but I guess they are at an end now, and I will have to be happy with just 20 some minutes of laughs and cringes! pat ---

This episode was jank. It wasn’t funny and I thought the camera crew being at Schrute Farm was way out of wack. The only funny parts were Mose running next to the car as they drove up to the farm and Michael calling Stanley as a TM. That’s it. Jim and Pam aren’t cute anymore they are obnoxiously “superior” to the rest of the cast. Jan is completely unlikeable (though I didn’t see the last 5 minutes). She used to be hot and smart now she’s drunk and bitchy. Michael is still a buffoon who is more unlikable every episode. Ryan and Darrel are amusing though. Damn Kelly is one unattractive lady. ---

Michael and Dwight are really the only characters that I’m actively interested in. And this episode was chock full of both of them, so I loved it. Michael getting on and off the bus broke my heart a little bit. ---

[QUOTE=Liberal] What’re **McNew** , **PunditLisa** , and I? Chopped liver? 😛 [/QUOTE] Well, you didn’t like the entire episode. I just thought people would come in and say the episode was great, aside from the schrute farm stuff, and I was glad people didn’t think that. I was in specific in my mind, if not my words. In other words. Yes. Chopped liver. Except McNew, he’s smart he spotted the vegetarian thing. That’s funny. Yeah, she couldn’t eat anything at Jim’s BBQ,and was unhappy with the vegetarian choices at Kelly’s Costume Party. pat ---

And that includes you”, leaving us and Dwight to wonder whether he’s including Dwight in the “anyone” or in the “worst enemy” category. ---

So one thing that I question is Michaels mentions that he and Jan traded in their two cars for one, a Porche, I thought his Sebring was a company car, a perk for branch managers. I know it was a rental that he drove in the Lake, where is his Sebring, or was only having one car soley a plot device?
