OK A-holes.  It's fixed.  Enjoy the orange links, because I have no fucking idea how to change them.  I basically learned scripting in four days to fix this damned thing. - Andy

Jan is in the terminal stages of her pregnancy, the afterbirth will soon float to the top of the tub.

Did anyone else notice that all 3 episodes this season have been outstanding?

My only qualms with this season are that there's not nearly enough Andy (he hasn't been used enough since the start of season 4), and Pam needs to get the hell back to Scranton.  This episode was quite awesome, although Dwight trying to destroy the stroller seemed a bit tacked on and over-extended.  The open was so bizarre, as was Jan singing for like 20 minutes straight, and Michael finally sending a big "fuck you" and asking out Holly was the balls.

And I've still been trying to figure out what seems so different between seasons 1-3 and 4-5, and I think it's that Michael is not nearly as big of an asshole as he used to be.  He was never to the point of Ricky Gervais' David, but he also wasn't so cartoonishly dimwitted.  I liked it better when he was still an asshole, but he had his redeeming moments and the moments where you had to feel sorry for him.  Now it's like we're forced to always feel bad for him and laugh at how "goofy" he is, rather than how clueless he normally is about his own actions.  It's not so bad, since Steve Carrell is a genius and is fun to watch no matter what, but it would be nice to see the old Michael again.

Good to see you've stopped overanalyzing this show.

I just want to know what the fuck is up with Angela and Andy dressing Jan's kid up in produce.

Oh and the conversation between Michael and Darrel about "baby daddy"?  Darrel could read the tax code and I'd be entertained.  That guy's awesome.
FIRE EVERYBODY!

I thought it was a little forced.

A little cranberry juice will clear that right up.

That's why they call it cranberry juice "cocktail", silly.

I was hoping with the engagement that the pam and jim saga would be over. Apparently not. Guh.
