I’m in love with Robert California.

I thought the episode was better than Parks this week. California is awesome. Love how his kid like his father’s story while the rest of the Office was creeped out

I think this show has taken a nosedive. This whole season is way below the quality of last season, which was already weak. Spader is probably the best thing about it, but his character is quirky and bizarre, not funny.

Erin breaking out those playing cards was just hilarious.

I liked the brief clips of Dwight’s past Halloween costumes. Especially that weird puppet thing on the trike from Saw.

I’m surprised about the love for Spader. Frankly I’m getting sick of Robert California. He’s good in small doses, so he should stick to only being in every, I’ll say 6th episode or so. Although to be honest, if he doesn’t come back next season it will be OK with me.

And with him frequenting the Scranton branch (are there no others?) we don’t really get to see Andy be the boss that often since everybody’s too busy kowtowing to California.

When I saw Dwight in his costume, my first thought was “Didn’t Gabe come as Lady Gaga last year?”
