The Office Season 4

[jtotheb]

I think that the first new episode is April 10th....it can't get here soon enough for me. :D

[moestavern19]

Holy Sweet Merciful Mother of ****sticks. Why did I not watch this show sooner?

I started a couple days ago and I'm almost to Season 3.

I'm addicted.

NEED MORE EPISODES NOW.

[the futants]

I came to The Office late as well. It's the best thing I've seen on TV since Arrested Development.
I cannot wait for the new episodes. I still haven't seen any of "Season 4."

[SwoLy-D]

I also joined late, and only saw BASKETBALL in the first season and found it funny, but wasn't addicted. Then I caught up. Now I own the "Best Employee of the Year" the office cup and much memoribillia.

moes, do you work in an office? If no, then it is admirable that you find it funny. 3. Andy will quit once he realizes that Angela and Dwight had a relationship before him.IF this becomes true and ree-ee-ee-Andy the 'Nard Dog isn't in the show anymore, sir, I will be ready to fight you. :mad:

[moestavern19]

moes, do you work in an office? If no, then it is admirable that you find it funny.

Maybe my sense of humor is elevated above everyone else's that I am actually able to enjoy the humor of a show that is set in a place I have no particular common bond with. I guess You don't find Scrubs funny because you don't work in Hospital.

:rolleyes:

[finalsbound]

I've never worked in an office and yet this is the only TV show where I literally laugh out loud while watching.

[SwoLy-D]

I guess You don't find Scrubs funny because you don't work in Hospital.You make a good point. I will respond to your sarcastic comment to my simple yes or no question:

Beginning with "The Wonder Years", I've always enjoyed comedies without a live audience. Scrubs is good, I take nothing away from that... those writers and those actors are awesome. I especially like their token-white-guy-with-a-black-guy-as-a-friend comedy. It's comedy. It's good.

You could have just said "No, I don't work in an office, but I really like the show... 'cuz I know FUNNY" instead of answering smart-ass... it's the freakin' HANGOUT here, not the D&D... and THE OFFICE rules.

You know darn well it is funny MOSTLY to office peeps, and to many non-office peeps. That was the reasoning to my simple question. Dude, relax... no need to say your comedy level is higher... we all know that.

[yo]

Anyone have a link to all the episodes online? I have a couple of sites but they are inconsistent and the quality isn't that good.

[Drizno]

I've never worked in an office and yet this is the only TV show where I literally laugh out loud while watching.

Agreed.

I dunno, if you don't think The Office and Arrested Development are the funniest shows your weird to me.

I've also heard good things about Sunny in PHILA...

nah dude, you're better off purchasing the dvd sets, i'm usually against spending 40-50 bucks on dvds, but they're worth it, its 'renewable' entertainment... sort of...


also.... LEAVE SWOLY-D ALONE!

[OrangeCounty,CA]

The thing about any TV show including The Office that makes it so good, is if the audience can relate to its characters. During the first 2 seasons I could relate a lot to Jim, since he was going through a forbidden office relationship, like I have before. But lately I relate more with Dwight, my new favorite character. It's funny how Dwight started out as an annoying character but now has ended up likable. Angela's character has started to grow on me to.

So which character do you relate to more?

You are begging for a bitch slapping.

I read something about the rest of the season in Entertainment Weekly.

The Andy and Angela romance is about to heat up big time. There's an episode that involves Michael, Dwight and Ryan going clubbing that's supposed to be really good.

I can't wait.

i don't know about the very favorite, but one of my favorites has to the "Performace Review"

The scene with Michael and Jan in Michael's office is one of the funniest ever. When Michael says "bam, bam, thank you ma'am". Actually in that episode all of Michael and Jan conversations are hilarious. Later on Michael says something like, "Having an extra office key is illegal, just as breaking a man's heart is" :D

NEW YORK – April 2, 2008 - NBC announced today that the most coveted time period of the coming season, the post Super Bowl slot, will be used to launch a spinoff of the network's hit comedy series, "The Office." Immediately following NBC Sports' coverage of Super Bowl XLIII, the network will first present an original episode of "The Office," followed by the debut of the new Greg Daniels comedy. The Super Bowl has been perennially the biggest television event of the broadcast season and was watched this year by a total audience of more than 148 million viewers. Giving this new series that coveted premiere slot will afford the show tremendous sampling from all demographic groups.

Greg Daniels, Executive Producer of "The Office," said, "Who would have ever thought that Americans would be subjected to a mock-documentary after the Superbowl? What has happened to this country?"

From Greg Daniels, the Executive Producer of the Emmy Award-winning American version of NBC's "The Office," comes the most highly anticipated comedy of the season in "The Office" spinoff. Audiences will follow another comic journey, complete with new faces and new locations, but with the same unique sense of humor and brand of quality from Daniels and his creative team. It's the next chapter of what viewers have come to know and love about "The Office."

hmmmm...

You know whats so great about this post, is that after I typed that up I actually thought to myself "Now we wait until Swoly comes in and critiques it and adds something to try and make it better than mine, to prove to everyone that he is the authority on The Office and nobody else can understand it like him."

Just watched another season 2 episode, The Carpet. I almost forgot how funny that episode was. It was comedy, mystery and drama all wrapped in a 22 minute episode. 10/10

At this point it seemed like season 2 was getting better and better. First there was The Client, then every episode after that was brilliant (exept a few).

BTW I think the series has lost some of it's spark because of the whole Pam and Jim getting together now, but I still can't wait till thursday...

I didn't quite catch that at first, it rattled around in my head for about 3/4 of a second until Jim had that stare like he just saw Michael Scott sa...oh wait he did.

[FlyerFanatic]

it was ok..i think it setup a lot for some great episodes in the future though. the whole pam/jan thing, angela/andy could be classic, even pam/jim looked like they were going towards rocky ground when jim wanted to leave the party by himself...but the end made it seem they made up...who knows.

Some great lines, but I found the whole show kind of depressing. I think it would have been funnier if Michael and Jan had started making out and grossing people out instead of arguing. Maybe Jan suggesting the Michael that they try to make it a swingers party.

Andy: "thought about it, I'm in."

[Oski2005]

It was kind of sad the worse it got, but at the end you see Jan gluing the Dundee back together, so you know she cares.


I can't stop laughing at Jan dancing to the song by her former assistant. Did they ever show if they had hooked up or are we just to assume that based on the song?


Jan: You know Pam, in Spain, they don't even start eating until after midnight.

Michael: When in Rome...

[moestavern19]

I can't stop laughing at Jan dancing to the song by her former assistant. Did they ever show if they had hooked up or are we just to assume that based on the song?

It was never implied that they hooked up, but definitely implied that she had a thing for him. The song probably makes it more likely.

I thought it was a good overall episode even though it wasn't very Dwight-heavy. Not much plot development (other than Michael and Jan have serious issues) but it was interesting that Angela decided to come out with her relationship with Andy. Thought there was gonna be a riff between Jim and Pam there for a minute but it appears they are good for now. The first big fight is coming though, you can bet on that.

Dwight bringing homeless woman was pretty epic.

Maybe I misread him dropping her off at the end there next to the homeless guy at the bus stop

I just figured she had to find her own way home after Dwight took Michael, Dwight's first allegiance, with him.

[Royals Ego]

such greatness, a void has been filled in my life. the office is back, and it is a great episode. I vote 7.5/10 on the hilarity meter.

his 200 dollar PLASMA was hilarious
jan suggesting to cook with pams wine. LOL
rinsing his meat in the wine. LOL

[MadMax]

Pam's quiet, "awesome" when Dwight was at the door killed me. :D

[moestavern19]

I just figured she had to find her own way home after Dwight took Michael, Dwight's first allegiance, with him.


Hmmmm. I can see that too, but her whole exchange with Jim led me to believe maybe Dwight had just picked her up off the street.

[Apollo Creed]

I don't think there was anything bad about Jim and Pam or whatever...he tried to take her with him, he got called out on it...he probably thought it would've been a really funny prank just to leave her there, and then she said the line about "You can always get new stuff, you can't get a new party"...it's like how when Jim couldn't speak in that one jinx episode and Pam volunteered him for a speech. That's just kinda how they banter...

As far as episodes go, it wasn't the most hilarious for me, but it might have topped Gay Witch Hunt as the most awkward episode, which is definitely a good thing...

"Good luck paying me back on your zero dollar a year salary with zero benefits!"

Pretty good zing for once by Michael :D

[SwoLy-D]

I was disappointed. I give it an 8 on the 10 scale, 'cuz it's becoming a "NOT OFFICE" instead... we want OFFICE interaction... I think? :(Homeless? I thought they said it was his ex-babysitter?She looked quite hungry... and when Jim asked about email, she had NO CLUE. :D I think moestavern19 is on track... maybe not babysitter, but just a lady down the street?

[Royals Ego]

I was disappointed. I give it an 8 on the 10 scale, 'cuz it's becoming a "NOT OFFICE" instead... we want OFFICE interaction... I think?
I agree, but beggers can't be choosers. It's back, so just enjoy it.

[Raven Lunatic]

Jan making a Fire scented candle is freaking outstanding.

[xcharged]

it was good but yeah i wanted an 1hr episode.

found a remedy for this by watching it drunk the first time, then rewatch
it sober or "drunker"...only you have the power to choose.

[SwoLy-D]

I agree, but beggers can't be choosers. It's back, so just enjoy it."Yeppers." I mean, "Yeish."

Oh, don't get me wrong, man... I like the fact it's back, but I miss this:

i think an old schrute baby sitter is just as unlikely to have e-mail knowledge as a homeless person, so i could go either way there.

i didn't think the jim possibly leaving pam at the party was a big deal because that is the way they interact, but the scene where pam is cold and michael is the one who gives her the jacket as the camera pans to jim looked kind of forewarning to me. i am a jam guy myself but my instinct right now is that something gets rocky this season.

That sure was an awkward episode! So was that lady Dwight's old (baby) sitter?

[kaleidosky]

yeah i thought that was a horrid episode. And I love this show as much as anyone ever has. Man.. i wish there were multiple scenes at least to flip between (like usual)

How did this scene not make it? Classic Dwight:

kevin was great this episode too

[moestavern19]

Not bad for a mostly Dwight-less episode.

"Oscar Meyer Weiner Lover"

:D

[halfbreed]

Great episode.

I'm glad Kevin got some airtime.

[OrangeCounty,CA]

I just ended watching the episode. And I needed to come here and get some "closure". :D

[kaleidosky]

not bad, not great. Oscar Meyer Weiner Lover was the line of the ep!

[m_cable]

Nice low-key episode. Last week's episode might have been the funniest one all year, but this week's was good too. Nice to see Kevin get some screen-time, and Phyllis trying to pawn off her fat friend was hilarious. The Jim/Pam interaction/screen-time/tone was just right. Just enough to befit their co-starring status, but not too much to overwhelm the show. Although I'd like to see how the show would perform without having the action swirl around Michael, but I suppose that's basically how the show has always operated and isn't likely to change.

[Apollo Creed]

That could possibly be my favorite episode of the office ever. Everything Michael was saying was pure hilarity gold.

"What's her name, Burger King?"

"I just want to play catch with my son before I'm too old...but before that I need to get laid...and before that I need to be in love"

And of course Oscar Meyer Weiner Lover.

Him grilling Phyllis asking her if she's fat is one of my top scenes of the series. Almost as good as the time he said Phyllis was giving him a boner.

[rrj_gamz]

Stupid Dallas NBC 5 station...they showed the stupid weather man instead of the office... :mad:

[LongTimeFan]

Nice low-key episode. Last week's episode might have been the funniest one all year,

Whaa? :confused: I thought it was the worse.. too awkward as people said. I just felt uncomfortable.. and felt bad for Michael. I don't think I could take too many of those episodes - this weeks was back up to par though. I was LMAO at "Wendy".

[BigSherv]

"CAN WE BE IN A ROW BOAT TOGETHER?!?"

Best line of the show. That and Jim in the last scene.

Uncomfortable or not, I thought that "Dinner Party" had more laughs per minute and more big laughs than any other episode in a largely uneven season. Speaking of which, it's a shame that the writers strike torpedoed most of the season. The office tends to hit it's stride at about episode 6-7 and reels off a bunch of excellent eps in a row. Hopefully they finish the season strong.

[leroy]

jim had me going there for a second, anyone else?


Completely...

These last 2 episodes have been strangely disturbing. Both very funny in different ways...but disturbing none the less. Are they trying a bit too hard and making Michael too over-the-top? Crying over the death of some model in another town that he saw in a catalog? That was just weird. Not funny. Just weird.

The thing about Phyllis' friend was hilarious.

[kikimama]

Hmm... When did Jan and Michael breakup? I thought in the last ep. the cops came and Jan was gluing the trophy back together...

[lpbman]

Hmm... When did Jan and Michael breakup? I thought in the last ep. the cops came and Jan was gluing the trophy back together...

She killed his plasma screen tv. It's over.


Actually, I'm pretty sure she'll be back just because Jan has a huge rack and she's freakin hilarious.

[Royals Ego]

i really enjoy corporate jan more than housewife jan

the amount of inappropriateness when michael and corporate jan interact is priceless

[DCkid]

I think my favorite moments of the episode were when Dwight kept off-handedly (and un-purposely) chipping away at the "dream woman" view Michael had of the chair model lady. First of all recounting everything he went through to find the girl then finally mentioning that she's dead and proceeds to give the grisly details with no emotion. :D

And then the classic at the gravesite:
Michael: She was so innocent
Dwight: Apparently she was stoned
*Michael just ignores the comment or isn't even listening.
Michael: What do I do next?
Dwight: "You wait until next year's chair catalog comes out and you find one that's still alive,"

[SuperBeeKay]

Hmm... When did Jan and Michael breakup? I thought in the last ep. the cops came and Jan was gluing the trophy back together...

Yeah the 10 inch plasma screen... rofl I didnt see the following episode after that but that one was pretty funny

This episode took place months after the Dinner Party episode. The Dinner Party episode took place right after the Deposition and the time period when the writers were on strike is the amount of time that elapsed between the Dinner Party and this episode.

Me too. Jan just looks like the hot corporate boss type. In the first 3 seasons that was the perfect role for her. Michael and Jan conversions during that time was just hilarious because of the roles.

Ryan's coked-up rambling about a post apocalypse world with jungle warfare was awesome. It was so over-the-top even Michael couldn't bear it.

Anyone else like the way the writers made it seem like Michael was actually going to be helpful for a bit when he said, "Well, first you tell them that you're their friend, and that everything is going to be okay" and then follows it up with some crap about The Wire.

Awesome.

Are you kidding me? This show has turned into garbage. I don't know what to think about people who actually enjoy this nonsense.

Ryan: Do you have a question, Kelly?

I was glad to hear that Ryan's website has largely been a failure. I was afraid that they would make his character suddenly competent after the promotion.

[moestavern19]

I personally cannot wait until Ryan gets taken down a notch and sent back to Scranton.

The power tripping makes him even more of a d-bag than he was before.

He was much better as the "What the hell am I doing here when I have my whole life ahead of me" d-bag.

I like the fact that they are involving the office more than in "Dinner Party". I like the irony of how "Night Out" means THAT for Michael and Dwight, but the complete opposite for the rest of the characters locked in the premises. :D

I also wish they'd reduce the amount of SEX, DRUGS, and OBSCENITIES in the show (see: Hank's and the episode's last line). :( I want to be able to show these episodes to my girls... I guess I'll wait.

"[to the cleaning crew] Nosotros trabajamos aquí. Nos atrancamos. [to Jim] They happened to speak Spanish."

Oscar's Spanish accent is NOT MEXICAN, and I guess he may have hung out with either Caribeños or Centroamericanos... I wished they would correct that or explain it later. :(

For the gay tirade you threw: They've shown him with his "companion" a few times.

Oscar is CUBAN in real life, and speaks in a CUBAN accent in the show, even though he's MEXICAN? I don't have any beef with that and won't make me stop watching the show... but it just DOESN'T go with the character. I guess you don't know that there are different ACCENTS in different Spanish-speaking countries? You know dang well they could have changed that.

When Toby put his hand on Pam's leg and started caressing it and both Pam and Jim had that wtf?! look on their face, and Toby said he was moving to Costa Rica, ran out of the office and hopped the barbed wire fence...THAT was vintage Office.

When Ryan told Jim to watch his back, but then backpedaled and said he was kidding, and Jim had that look of fear..another great moment.

When he got there at the end to let the gang out of the building but they were gone....when Dwight poured the drink out, Michael calling his mom on his cell...Ryan acting like the s*** when came back to Scranton to discuss the site...all excellent moments. I probably haven't laughed much this season, but then The Office, to me, was never a show that had laugh out loud moments...it is possible for something to be quite funny and engaging, but doesn't necessarily make you laugh.

Oscar also appeared in an episode of Reno 911. One of its funniest episode might I add.

Television shows routinely cast actors who aren't exactly like the people they are portraying. The Oscar character is from Mexico, they hired a Cuban actor to portray the character. Normally, this wouldn't make any difference at all, but in this one episode four years into the run of the show, they decided to make a Spanish-speaking joke and instead of sending Oscar Nunez off to speech lessons until he could fake a proper Mexican accent, they decided that the suspension of disbelief would hold for all but three or four people out of the small percentage of viewers who could tell the difference.

[mrpaige]

EXACTLY! 'Cuz no MEXICANS watch this show! :D

Didn't say that. I said that only three or four people out of the small percentage of people who could tell the difference would care.

The Office is not a top 20 show among Hispanic households, according to Nielson. And they don't break the numbers down into the various Nationalities. So fewer than 500,000 "Hispanics" watch the show, and of that number, there is a smaller number that's from Mexico or of Mexican descent (or from Cuba or of Cuban descent) and of that number, there's an even smaller number who are Spanish-speaking, and of that number, there's an even smaller number who can easily tell the difference between a Mexican and a Cuban accent. And of that number, there's probably only three or four people who care.

I can see it clearly now. They don't give a *****.

It's more like 99.999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999% of the audience doesn't give a s**t.

Ya'll are still hung up on me saying he's CUBAN, when I'm talking about his ACCENT, not where' he's from. Certainly Mr. Miyagi was born in The U.S. and A. and didn't speak with a CHINESE accent, did he? :rolleyes:

Holy ****, Swoly. You can be so ****ing irritating. No one is "hung up" on anything except for YOU. You're the only one that gave a **** that the tiny detail of accent was inaccurate! YOU. Not US! Royal Ego made the comparison to Harold and Kumar, which you can argue is not a good analogy (although I would hope you would do so without personal insult...but I guess that is beyond you) and I responded to HIM about my personal experience that was similar. My Mr. Miyagi post had NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU.

I shouldn't even have brought this back up to answer your question since mrpaige already explained this. I figured from your responses to him that you understood that most people wouldn't care.

But I guess anyone that doesn't agree with you or who makes an argument that you feel isn't apt is a dumbass, or a numbnuts. Whatever. That personal insult **** does nothing but tell me how weak your position is. So I'm done discussing this. Especially with you. Go type some more smiley faces.

I have a Japanese friend that pointed out to me one time that Mr. Miyagi from the Karate Kid movies was of Chinese decent and not Japanese at all. I sort of felt bad for not being able to tell.
Pat Morita - real name, Noriyuki Morita is a japanese name, and his bio says he's the son of Japanese immigrants, so I don't know where your friend is getting this :confused:

Hmm...I never looked it up. She always told me he was a fake Japanese. Now I don't feel bad anymore! Thanks SamFisher.

At any rate, to get the discussion back on track, anyone else predicting that Jim's proposal to Pam will be the season finale? I'm trying to decide where they will go with it. I certainly don't think they will just let the two get happily married. That's not their style. Either Pam says no for some reason...or they find some other way to throw a wrench into the works. I would guess that maybe Ryan will get busted back down to Scranton again because of drugs and that maybe Jim would be offered that position...but they already sort of did that conflict.

The title of this week's episode is "Did I Stutter?"

That seems to me to foreshadow some type of proposal from Jim this week. Although, it could be a deliberate attempt to make people think that.

If you look at the promos for this week I think the fact that Pam is wearing glasses is the inconvenience.

Go to www.phonezoo.com

Type in The Office.

You're welcome.

[SwoLy-D]

Royals, shoot me an email through the board. It's about 675kb and I can't email it to my phone :( ... maybe yours can accept it once you get it from me. :cool:

HOPEFULLY I did this right: http://www.mediafire.com/?ywg5cdjlgvg

@Faos
@SwoLy-D

I was going to get home and thank you guys for the offers, but my DSL crapped out at home. I'll have to wait until it revives until I can try. :(

Though, thank you :)

[Faos]

Stanley from The Office is coming up on 1560 The Game at 9:50.

They also said Merideth will be on the Sean and John show this afternoon.

www.1560thegame.com for live streaming.

[Faos]

Wow...Ryan lays the smackdown on Jim.

Seems everyone in the office wants Pam.

[LongTimeFan]

This is the best episode of the season.

[JunkyardDwg]

I hope Ryan falls hard and soon...he is such a s**t.

[Faos]

"I also want to see Pam topless."

[Royals Ego]

[BigM]

This is the best episode of the season.

Man I was ROFLMAO. It was one of the best episodes of the entire series.

Stanley: Did I Stutter?

Michael: OK this is good, this is good. Okay I'm going to get some water.

:D

[kaleidosky]

sweet ep... not as good as last week's, but very very solid. Makes me question the series a little less after some of the disappointing eps of this season

[Apollo Creed]

I think the show's been on fire since they've come back from hiatus...

[Nice Rollin]

that was probably the worst epsidoe of the office ever....it was too dramatic. too much boston legal like

it wouldve been better if micahel tickled stanley

The funny wasn't all there. But it revealed a side of Michael not shown before. Where he demanded respect for himself, albeit in a private and subtle way.

And I greatly love Michael's character even more.

What's up with Dwight pressuring Michael, it was a bit over the top, but his emergency plan was hilariousssssssssss.

Toby and Ryan double teaming Jim, poor Jim.

[xcharged]

the garbled "that's what she said" when Michael had his face in the concrete was classic.

[rrj_gamz]

IMHO, this episode was one of the worst...I didn't laugh at all...It seems to be trying to hard...

Out of the episodes so far, I liked the second one the best...

How could you not laugh at Dwight's emergency back up plan? Man, that was freakin' hilarious to me.

Dwight is still above Jim in the office hierarchy as the original assistant to the regional manager.

[Boomhauer]

Michael: Ok, Wendy. Hot and juicy red head. Give this a try. [Michael dials phone number. Phone rings.]
Wendy's phone operator: Wendy's.
Michael: Hello Wendy, this is Kevin's friend, Michael.
Wendy's phone operator: This isn't Wendy.
Michael: Oh, I'm sorry, could you put her on please?
Wendy's phone operator: Dude, this is a Wendy's restaurant.
Michael: [under breath] Damn it Kevin. OK, umm, could I just have a frosty and a baked potato please?
Wendy's phone operator: You have to come to the restaurant to order food.
Michael: Well, I'll send somebody to come pick it up. Just have it ready.
Wendy's phone operator: It's ready now.
Michael: Well put it aside. [hangs up the phone] [Dwight enters] Umm... yeah.

Later on......

Pam: OK Michael, you know what? I might have someone for you.
Michael: Oh really? What's her name? Burger King?



:D

I just went to hulu.com and finished watching the first part of the episode which I had missed.

This was Dwight's best performance of the year, imo. Him beating down Andy and flipping his Xterra was classic. And Andy's line: "Chick dig guys in Xterra's. I see women driving them all the time." (something like that) was also good.

Michael's "that's what she said" while having his face buried in concrete - pricelss.

Weird, I thought it was one of the best of the season. I really didn't like the previous week's episode though.

For me, less Jim/Pam makes a better episode.

[Rocket River]

Bloods or Crypts?

Both.


They need more Darrell
He is always funny to me

Mike at the end: " . . Stanley?"
Stanley: "It has the potential to be your best plan ever."
Doris: "That is the dumbest plan I ever heard."
Mike: "Everyone out except Doris!"

Darrell also mentioned the Latin Kings.

(Which I thought to be the funniest part of that exchange)

she is quite forgettable. :D

[dumbartonbass]

"A lot of jazz cats are blind, but they can play the piano like nobody's business. I'd like to put the piano in front of Pam - without her glasses - see what happens... I'd also like to see her topless."

Creed is so great.

[halfbreed]

I like the episodes that show us Michael's competent side.

When he was talking with Stanley he obviously thought none of the cameras were on and we saw what the real Michael can be like when he's not playing for the camera.

Dwight's Xterra on eBay (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140229650269)

[moestavern19]

Wellllll.

That was kind of not funny at all.

[dandorotik]

H&R Block? I don't even know what they do!

[halfbreed]

Wellllll.

That was kind of not funny at all.

Not as many funny moments but I think with the strike shortened season they're using this episode to set up the season finale.

[macalu]

was there a Mark Hammel cameo? if you blinked, you might have missed it.
