Finally, the last hourlong episode! I don't know about you guys, but I'm sick of The Office being stretched into 40-ish minutes. It really feels like two episodes, with unnecessary plotlines thrown in just to fill time.
However, having said that, I feel like this week's episode was the best hourlong episode yet. And, fun fact, Paul Lieberstein (Toby), wrote and directed it! And played Toby in it!
Lieberstein has said in interviews he tends to want to stay offscreen as much as possible, since he prefers being on the writing staff to being in front of the camera. But thank goodness he didn't completely write himself out, because he was part of the one really funny scene this week, the "whomever" debate.
But besides this gem, this episode was one of the darkest ones yet, examining the effects of the Dwight/Angela/Andy love triangle, and the PB&J romance. Here's one of the saddest ones, featuring Sad Dwight, who deserves a character name all his own, because of the hysterical dying-cow crying sound he makes. I have so much love for Jim here.
And, in the scene immediately after this, I have even more love for Jim:
Okay, enough YouTubing for now. Bottom line: can't wait for the half-hour episodes to start. I need my classic Office back - less relationship drama, more nonstop laughs. That's the way I like my Dunder Mifflin.
