Love triangles. awesome. :nonono:

Actually, would this be a love quadrangle?

Either way it sucks balls.

I liked Creed's: 'Right place at the right time'

Very funny episode, I was expecting a bit more from these writers than a love triangle, but the rest of the show more than makes up for it.

Some of the comedy stuff was funny, a bunch of hilarious little moments, but the drama was straight out of the cliche ridden sitcom text book. I think also the lack of Stamford now makes the show less "big" seeming, it had almost a movie quality there for a while, or at least more expansive than you'd expect on a half hour comedy.

The Andy vs Dwight thing is amazing. Kevin was really great in this episode. And Kelly! She was so excited to see Jim so she could tell him all the celeb gossip!

Probably the best episode this season.

I think it's a little too early to start complaining about the love triangle. If they, say, start painting Karen as a sort of bitchy villain, then yes, but I think it's a bit early to judge where this is going.

It's never too early to start complaining about a love triangle. Just the threat of a love triangle is enough to turn things sour for at least one episode. I hate love triangles... yet every sitcom and drama on the face of the planet uses the device.

Considering I'm not a fan of the BBC Office, and have only found Extras to be mildly amusing, I'm not that excited.

Me either, in fact I think most of the problems this season can be traced back to copying the BBC office too much. I liked the cast on that show though, including Freeman and Davis and was glad to see Freeman in Hitchhikers.

I think the love triangle is being dealt with very, very well. The opposite, for me, is happening with Karen. I actually like her, and she's got a few funny moments on the show. I honestly hope she isn't made to be a bitchy character, especially to Pam. The Office is too smart to go that simplistic route. Same as how they've suddenly made the audience feel bad for Roy, although I still don't like him like some do. You can't erase the selfish character he was for Seasons 1 and 2.

A few little interviews with the cast.

Ed Helms: http://video.nbc.com/player.html?dlid=45083

Rashida Jones: http://video.nbc.com/player.html?dlid=45191

and there's a couple more there by others.

Three deleted scenes.

The full version of Lazy Scranton.

I agree on Roy. As to Karen and Jim, Karen seems ok, but Jim is less likeable this season to me.

Fast motion version of one of the funniest episodes from last season, making it sound like Alvin and the Chipmunks.

Preview clips to tonight's show. As usual I'm not going to watch them myself but there's the link for ya.

If you wanted to see what Paul Lieberstein is like, here you go. He's a writer, producer and also plays Toby.

It had me at Dementors. Oddly it didn't feel like a UK episode at all to me, it felt like a season 2 episode, which is a good thing as far as I'm concerned. No complaints here.

The merger is the best thing to ever happen to The Office.

The banjo was funny and all, but...

Not a hilarious episode. I think I was expecting more from Gervais & Merchant.

I have to agree. The actual episode with the merge was a bit rocky, but they've settled in nicely.

And, it's great to have Jim back to react to Michael's ridiculous statements and actions.

The next episode is on December 14th. It's an hour-long Christmas episode directed by Harold Ramis.

Second, better promo. Figured it might help the Euros and Canadians and anyone else international who can't see the promo on tv.
