Quotes from tonight's episode:

- Michael: "I watch the L-Word and Queer as fuck."

- Oscar: "I got a three month paid vacation. Gill and I are going to Europe. I just had to sign some forms promising I wouldn't sue or something. Sometimes it pays to be gay."

- Michael: "There's Gill, Oscar's roommate. I wonder if he knows?"

- Michael: "We should get a beer sometime & you can explain to me how it works"

- Michael: "Get in the conference room! I don't care if you're gay or straight or lesbian or overweight!" *camera pans to Phyllis*

- Phyllis: "I thought you were actually gay in high school, Michael." *Michael starts protesting*

- Michael: "You don't call retarded people 'retards,' you call friends that."

- Dwight: "Oscar? Are you sure? He doesn't wear dresses."

- Creed: "I had sex with many girls in the 60's. It was outside, there was lots of mude.....a guy could have slipped in. There's no way to know."

- Dwight's 'cying'......"I miss Jim so much!" *pause* "That is a lie."

- Michael: "I think Angela is gay. I could picture her with another woman." *Dwight gives a creepy smile*

- Woman from Jim's new office: "And Jim is always looking over at the camera and going (gives trademarked goofy Jim look). What's up with that?"

- Dwight: "I think Michael's gay. I can finally say I have a gay friend."

- Pam: "Dwight's watching gay porn." ....... Dwight: "Michael said it was okay."

And of course the slow awkward kiss between Michael and Oscar. Followed by Dwight trying to kiss Oscar. :lol:

OMG, this has to guarantee them the Emmy again next year!

I think their best episode ever. Not only hilarious, but of course bittersweet with Jam.

First, Jim and Pam. I think that was Roy's first talking head? Anyway, I think it was a great way to officially introduce David Denman as part of the starring cast. I can't wait to see where they take the story.

The Stamford branch looks interesting. I loved Jim's worried glance after the jello and of course that lady noticing Jim's camera glances :D

And the whole Oscar stuff. Unbelievably hilarious. Every single joke, moment... perfect.

I loved it. They definitely stepped it up!

LOL! I loved it, though I missed the last couple of minutes. What was in the package that Dwight received?

  • The best part: Michael and Oscar "kiss."
  • Loved: Pam not marrying Roy (I guess Jim doesn't know.)
  • LOL moment: Toby outting Oscar to Michael, and expecting him to keep it a secret.
  • LMAO moment: Creed and him thinking about his time in the 60s.
  • Bittersweet moment: Pam's constant looks to Jim's desk.

Jim sent him a "gaydar" :lol: Basically a metal detector, and Dwight goes around to see if it works. It beeps as it passes Oscar's belt buckler, so he believes it works, but then it later beeps on him as he passes his own belt buckler :lol:

Another LMAO moment... Kevin' hysterical laughing :lol: Oh, and the Diversity training... ("...diversity tomorrow because today, is almost over.")

Okay, here's my question. Watched the episode. LOVED it. And loved the realistic offer to the gay guy (forgot his name) so he wouldn't sue. But honestly, WHAT keeps the Steve correll character from NOT getting fired after a stunt like that? How's THAT part realistic? Also, another nagging question is this: I watch the show sometimes but NEVER get why they're talking to the camera. They're breaking the fourth wall. Does that mean they are filmed for a documentary on their office? What? I don't get it!!

Well, aside from Micheal Scott being oblivious to everything he does, I remember reading or hearing somewhere that he is still a more than capable employee.

And as for the talking to the camera, they are all supposed to be part of a documentary about the office. The Office itself is basically a mockumentary. :)

I just watched the episode again, and really you pick any moment of the episode and it is just hilarious. Angela talking about Will & Grace and loving Harry Connick, Jr. :lol:

    • I found it to be a rather odd way to deal with a character departing for parts unknown.
    • Today reminded me as to why I’m a little disappointed in the name that the new Pope chose

      Luckily, EJ and Johnny, and pretty much every other character saved today’s episode.  I didn’t expect Javi to be the one to save Sarah though, and I don’t mind it at all, because if it means that Javi is finally going to get his own identity/character, away from his douchy bf, I’m all for it. Javi’s scenes would’ve been a lot better had it not been for him. EJ and Johnny were the best part of today. Their conversation hit a lot of important beats and I’m so looking forward to seeing them play out. And now that EJ knows that Johnny is going to work for Xander, that opens up another dynamic to their storyline and to the Kiriakis family storylines as well. Tying them all together could be really good. There are so many story possibilities that can come out of this. And I thought Carson Boatman did a pretty good job again too.  I also liked that Johnny was there to comfort Chanel after everything that happened with Sarah. They’re so good together. But I do have mixed feelings about Chanel possibly forgiving Johnny so quickly. Hopefully, the question that she asked him at the end of today leads to more conflict for the two of them.  And yeah, still no changes in Alex’s character lol 
    • Awesome, thanks so much for taking the time to grab this episode. I had a quick review of your rip because I was curious why it was 700MB and 30 minutes. The first 10 minutes of the episode is 3169 (opening credits at 5 minutes and again at 15 minutes). I thought we had the full HD version of ep.3170 on the YouTube channel, but it appears they added the wrong episode but labelled it 3170.

    • That's a name I haven't heard in a minute. Thanks! 
    • Well, since I'm still up unexpected past my growing-into-it bedtime. lol.   I finally got to rewatch Monday's. I even rewatched Friday's to take it all in. Now that we got the reveal and hit the climax of the SilkPress Sheila storyline, now we get to watch the aftermath and/or turns that come with its climax. So far, so good. Friday left us with three cliffhangers. And what I found surprising was how I felt about them over a rewatch.    I know some of you all felt a way about the dialogue during Kat vs Eva. I remember liking it more the first time around and it was nice for them to have these scenes to establish more of a frenemy vibe for them going forward. That still held up. But I found myself agreeing with you all about that dialogue. lol. Still, it was nice to have both of their POVs.   Second up was Silk Press Sheila vs the Duprees. And I was happy to get a brief spat with Dani in there. But the rest standouts for me was Anita and Martin. Haters can hate and given the tail end of the episode, I will agree to a fault, but Brandon has impressed and he was on fire on Monday and had great subtle work on Friday. And that subtle work made it all the better. Like I believe I said when I was watching...BC has a much better grip on his character and seems to be realizing what his tics are so has started to be able to know when to turn it up and when to dial it down. And for the most part (emphasis on most), he got that. Meanwhile, TT was giving fierceness, and I was here for every minute of it. Her reading SilkPress. Her being quip about it. Her 'BE STILL.' Ooooo she had a chokehold on me as Anita gave what I was expecting her to SilkPress. WORTH THE WAIT. I also loved Vernon's CHOOSE SILENCE. I wonder though if SilkPress will figure out Martin's condition from her observing Anita and Vernon with him.   And speaking of worth it...Oooo YES Nicole vs Ted was worth totally worth it. Oooooo I knew DD would nail it, and it was all so well done. The fight between the part of Nicole who is a therapist vs Nicole as a woman who wants to express how she feels. And being so angry. And how there would be moments when it would shoot out of her. And how she would restrain herself. But how she felt she should not be restrain. Just the levels of processing and layers. And DD played it all so well. I do wish Maurice gave just a little bit more, but overall, I thought he did a good job even if it was just Ted coming across as a deadbeat and not at all redeemable. And Kat being there for her mother was so beautiful.   Minority, but I love the montage though yes, it did run a little long. Given how the Duprees like to bond (and also as I mentioned from my own very recent family experiences), it did not seem out of place to me.     That said...let's see how the aftermath worked in today's episode. Overall. Cuz RC can be hit or miss. 
    • I wonder whose brilliant (

      ) idea it was to do an almost complete rip-off of the "who killed Tom King"-storyline. That's some quality style writing right there.....
