Bad episode, but holy crap was Computron amazing. Between that and Recyclops Dwight could write a hell of a sci-fi comic book series.
"Dwight Schrute, creator of Computron."

MY DVR must have been trying to spare me because it didnt record this episode. Its weird because it was set to and it recorded everything else last night.

I just got around to watching the clip show, although I didn't know it was one going in. It was the first time I've ever turned off an episode of The Office without watching the whole thing.

How come whenever someone in upper management loses their job on this show, they instantly go from a normal business professional to a cartoon crazy person? First Jan and now David Wallace.
As for this new corporation taking over the company, I'd be more invested in it if I wasn't sure that everything will be reset back to normal five episodes from now as always.
I actually did like this episode, in spite of everything I just wrote.

Yeah, I didn't think it was an exceptionally funny episode, but I really liked it. |

Well, they were working for a company where the most profitable and well-run branch was run by Michael Scott. Clearly, Dunder-Mifflin did not attract the best and brightest. |

I love David Wallace, so I thought this was a really good episode, and I hope this isn't the last we've heard from him.
Jim and Pam's storyline was dumb, though it was nice hearing the guy say "Maybe you're not as adorable as you think you are." I have a feeling this would be my sentiment if I had to work with those two all day every day. That said, "Infantry" made me laugh, but it seemed to be another sad reminder that Jim is well on his way to becoming the new Michael Scott.

Yeah, Jim is definitely going towards Michael Scott territory.
Really liked the episode.

I'm sure it isn't. I would almost be willing to bet serious money that the reason they're keeping Wallace in the loop is so he can somehow magically reacquire Dunder-Mifflin and allow everything to go back to square one once Kathy Bates' four or so episodes are done. That's how this show rolls. |

Yeah, bringing in the outsider to shake things up and butt heads with Michael felt quite familiar. And I like the dude from IN THE LOOP, but the dude from IN THE LOOP is no Stringer Bell. |

That would be Mr. Zach Woods. He's on one of the improv teams, The Stepfathers, from the UCB Theatre in New York, and is routinely amazing. That's the same team that Bobby Moynihan from SNL came from. |

I hope they are bought by the Suck It Corporation. They might as well be, Sabre was just as cartoonish. Which I'm fine with. |

I really don't get this show sometimes. Making Jim manager and Michael a salesman was not only a great idea, but actually would have been the logical next step after everything they've been doing with Jim since the start of the season. Instead, they hit the reset button on everything. They don't abandon interesting ideas after four episodes anymore, they abandon them in mid-episode.
But again, despite my complaints, I liked this one. I suppose as long as the show is funny, it doesn't really matter if it goes absolutely nowhere.

I really liked this episode. I guess I agree with Wolfe.
I LOVED to opening with the reservations. I laughed halfway through the credits.

Michael is so unlikable at this point I am actually starting to root for his misery.
