I love Darryl. Remember when he dated Kelly? That was such a hilarious relationship. She only wanted to hook up when Ryan was around to make him jealous, so Darryl started getting excited whenever Ryan was around. How messed up is that? Also, one of my favorite Kelly quotes: Darryl Philbin is the most complicated man that I have ever met. I mean who says exactly what they're thinking? What kind of game is that?

I loved how happy he was when Kelly finally broke up with him. Made me laugh. I also love that Kelly quote. Overall she's pretty funny, but she gets on my nerves a lot, like that time she was trash-talking Pam over Jim and Darryl's ping-pong game.
I just watched "Women's Appreciation". Michael... At the beginning... His finger sticking out of his pants... It cracks me up every time!

Kelly does get on my nerves a whole lot. I can't really think of a time she doesn't actually, no shining moments or anything. She makes good comic relief sometimes though.
Women's Appreciation was a good episode. I really enjoyed Jim putting the mustache on the mirror for Dwight to realize who the picture was of. Also... Angela buys her clothes at the American Girl Doll store. Why am I not surprised?
Just watched Money. It was such a good episode. Not so much the comedy, though there were a few moments (Michael literally declaring bankruptcy, Kelly and Darryl, etc.). I thought it had some very nice, serious moments. Like Michael and Jan's talk at the end, and especially Jim consoling Dwight in the stairwell. That's one of my favorite Jim scenes.

Angela wearing the clothes of large colonial dolls is kind of like Michael wearing women's clothes... Even before it was revealed, I think we all just assumed it occasionally happened. Money is pretty good, but Jan annoyed me a bit in it. She spends all of Michael's money and then chastises him for not keeping track of his fiances? OK, maybe not all of his money, but it seemed she certainly spent a lot. Right now I'm watching The Job. I love how Dwight paints Michael's office.

That's a good point about Jan, but I think that she redeems herself at the end, when Michael is trying to run away on the train, and she tells him about what a good guy he is, so she is going to stick around and help him through his money issues.
That was a great episode. I loved all the interviews. Kinda soliloquy-like.
I just watched the Deposition, which is kind of painful, but it has some redeeming moments. I liked David Wallace's part in the whole mess. You kind of see the genuine and not-exasperated side to him.

I love the Deposition! "Ryan's just as hot as Jan, but in a different way." I especially love how Toby just cracks up.
Wouldn't it be the awesomest thing if they actually wrote Michael's diary and sold it? I'd buy it for suresies.

Haha, that would be awesome. I would totally buy Michael's diary. I can imagine little kid illustrations going alongside of it, just based on the snippets from the Deposition.
Currently watching Did I Stutter? which is a great episode, just for that line, but it's fairly entertaining otherwise. I noticed that Angela looked a bit chubby in this episode. It's not like she's fat, I'm sure it was just an odd angle when they were playing madlibs. I liked Jim's proposal fake-out, I think it's a good ongoing joke. Another awesome Darryl moment came up to, when Michael asked him for advice about gangs.

I'm almost to Did I Stutter?. I'll have to watch out for chubby Angela. I don't think I've ever noticed before. Is the part with Darryl the "fluffy fingers" part? XD

It is indeed the fluffy fingers episode. Darryl is just hilarious.
I've been jumping around episodes, but I believe the last one I watched was Goodbye Toby. The fact that Holly thought Kevin was 'special' was really funny though, because it was extremely realistic. I know you had mentioned it earlier, but now that I just watched it, I really remember how funny it was.

I loved tonight's episode. It felt like classic The Office, dealing with office politics and Michael feeling left out. Great stuff.

I agree that it felt like classic The Office. I was getting sick of all these big shake ups. I'm so glad Michael finally confronted Dwight. He's been such a dick to him for the past season or so.

Didn't get home in time to watch the Office last night, but I managed to watch it on hulu today, and I thought it was a great episode. At first I was a little iffy on it, because I was feeling annoyed at the salesmen, but as things went on I realized how much of a throwback to earlier seasons it really was.
I'm glad that Michael called Dwight on being an ass, but at the same time I think it was good that Dwight finally stopped being such a suck-up. So their current friendship seems pretty optimal.
Also, Erin and Andy are really cute. Their little hot and cold game was pretty funny seeing as how Andy definitely thought it was going in dirty directions. Their kiss at the dump makes me think that maybe Andy and Erin are going to become the new Jim and Pam. (Slightly watered-down anyway, but still good.)

I'm not so sure about Erin and Andrew being the new Jim and Pam. They are cute, but they've already gotten together, so there isn't going to be those three years of waiting that came with PB&J.

I don't know. While Erin and Andy are already together, they're sort of more exciting than Jim and Pam. We already know that Jim and Pam get together, get married, have a baby. It's still a good relationship, and interesting, but it has less of the excitement, because we already know how they relate.

Yeah, PB&J have got pretty boring after they got together, with their so-so wedding and ugly-named baby withstanding. Andy and Erin, though, are both pretty weird.
Have you ever thought of Andy and Eric as sort of a "What If" Jim and Pam? The former got together not long after they met simply because Andy was more outgoing.

That's a definite possibility. I remember the one episode where Jim and Pam were giving conflicting advice about whether or not to take a relationship slow (Can't remember if it was definitely Jim and Pam though, or the episode), and Jim was saying take it slow, whereas Pam was just saying to get on with it.
So if Jim had just been a man and actually tried to make a move on Pam, they could have gotten together a lot sooner.

I'm not sure what episode you're talking about, but Jim definitely needs to stop being such a wuss sometimes. On the other hand, Pam was engaged at the time. Oh, well, it all worked out.

I might have made the Jim and Pam thing up. I feel like it might be Holly's second episode, but I haven't gotten the chance to watch past Goodbye Toby yet.
This is true. And the buildup was a good thing. Imagine if they had gotten together right after Casino Night? All of this not-as-goodness probably would have been fast-forwarded however many seasons.

I recently watched "Weight Loss", the episode following "Goodbye Toby" and Holly's second appearance. I don't remember anything about them discussing another couple. In fact, this is the first episode of Pam's time at art school and the ep. where they finally get engaged.
Yeah, the build-up certainly is good in hind sight. Have you ever seen the original British version? It only lasted two season, each merely six episodes, so it makes sense they thinned out and added onto one of the main story lines considering how long our version is lasting.

Well then, I was totally wrong. My mind was playing tricks on me. Sorry about that.
I haven't yet seen the British version. I had intended to, but there's so much good tv out there that sometimes its hard to start on something new.
