    Anyone else thought Stringer Bell wasn't being himself tonight? :D

    I figured Omar was going to bust in there any minute.

    Ending was kind of stupid.

    Define "shady". 720p HDTV rips (mkv format) are great :D

    I actually don't have a problem with it, I mean Jim's done stuff like that before, dressing up like Dwight comes to mind, but this time he just got caught doing it at the wrong time.

    I actually enjoyed last nites episode and the ending was unexpected but it was kind of cool to see Micheal stand up for himself.

    Did he not stand up to Stanley, not so long ago...

    Michael felt betrayed by David, for Michael, his work is his marriage, his life. He felt mistreated and 'undermined' in his own 'home'. This is kinda like when you get beat up in grade school, you go crying to mommy for some TLC, but all she gave you was a bandaid... rofl, terrible metaphor, but I think that's how Michael felt. Betrayal.

    This episode must purely be a setup for next week's season finale. As a stand alone, it was kinda weird. I'm guessing next week will leave some questions unanswered to point everybody forward to season 6. I have a hunch there will be significant changes next season. The Office has reached a point that it can't continue if it stays the same. New/fresh story arcs are needed.

    I don't think next week is the season finale- they have 3 more episodes scheduled after this.

    Oh, no problem at all. You never know with how they do the scheduling, re-runs, etc.

    I agree, I think there are several new story arcs they need to create:

    1. They really need to have Michael's direct supervisor be someone who he has leverage against in some way (Jan because he slept with her, Ryan because he was new and worked under Michael). The new VP ain't gonna work.

    2. The Dwight-Angela sub-theme was one of the best parts of the show- you know, the MacBeth/Lady Macbeth type couple. Without that, it's just kind of blah.

    3. Jim and Pam- there has to be conflict at some point. Too nice is not going anywhere.

    4. More involvement from other characters. Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems like too much from the main 4 characters lately.

    My favorite show needs to be revitalized a bit. It's still the best on TV, but they need to avoid jumping the shark during this season and the next.

    I agree with that a lot. Some of the best episodes this season were ones where the other guy were involved like the business meeting in Canada one had a lot of Andy and Oscar, I thought that was great

    I think theres no way michael is actually leaving that job- they'll prolly clean it up in the next episode.... I think the writers were trying to shock the audience, but michael can't survive without the office and vice versa, so i wasn't truly stunned...
