Hated last season, but the first 2 episodes were pretty good.
Pretty hyped for the ending. Can't wait to see Michael Scott again.

Agreed.
Erin can't leave Andy. It just can't happen.
It was a cool episode and definitely better than the premier. Lets hope it gets better.
I hope not. It just seemed like Erin found a new friend to talk to.
+1 for Plop!
Another decent episode, save for that useless Nellie/Dwight segment.

Was this the first time they mentioned michael? I don't think they ever said his name last season.
Are you referring to the first episode of this season? Yeah, I noticed that, too. Made me feel good, honestly.

I couldn't tell if we were supposed to think New Jim had Andy go to Clark's apartment with Erin because he wanted to screw over Clark or because he was being a good guy.

Seemed to be a bit of both.
Remember when weird and awkward was one of the show's strong points?

Hit and miss so far.
Jim and Pam plot is great. Creed is great. Oscar plot is funny, sorry haters, they built for it from the moment he first met him. New guys are pretty good too, loved the creepy unbuttoned black director shirt, and the wonkyness of the other guy. Dwight was generally great, seems to be the more assholey Dwight of early seasons.
Not sure what to think of Kevin. Maybe they have made him too stupid now. Stanley and Phyllis are pretty wooden so far. Darryl was a bit flat, but film stuff was funny.
Some stuff was too over the top, mainly the tight rope stuff, rubbish throwing (meta joke yeah), Taliban stuff. Andy's bullying. Erin is just filler.
But I can certainly see potential here. It seems like the show could retain some of the old magic for this season. Just don't go too much out of the office, like the awful S8 did.

Oh my YES Jenna Fischer is smokin hot again =D
I totally forgot that Andy and Erin got back together. Does that make me a horrible person? Liked the premiere better, but I still liked this one more than pretty much every other episode the past couple of years. I'm digging Pete and Clark and I hope there is more conflict to be had there.
Best part might have been the look on Jim's face when he turned to see Bob Vance and Phyllis sucking face during Roy's She's Got a Way cover. Honorable mention goes to Creed hating the Taliban but liking their heroin.

Really liked this episode. That is all.
Also, what Enco said.

I'm betting on murder-suicide.
Because the show is dead?

Probably not going anywhere. They needed more characters to fill the void left by Kelly and Ryan leaving.

They really didn't. The show's biggest problem is they just kept adding cast members as it went on, and still feel the need to replace a character every time someone leaves. At this point, they have so many characters, they don't even know what to do with half of them.

Kelly will be back, since its only a matter of weeks before Fox cancels her new show anyway.

I find Mindy Kaling to be incredibly unlikeable. They won't bring her back because the show is going to be cancelled though.
The latest episode made me feel crappy. But I am all in for the whole thing.
I have loved the show so much. I am still on board.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
mindy'll get at least the season I think, it premiered ahead of Ben and Kate, the other new fox tuesday comedy, kept a good majority of its New Girl lead-in, and only lost to NCIS in its time slot. if and when a fox sitcom is canceled (which will only happen after mob doctor is axed) it'll probably be ben and kate first.
anyway, even if her show did get axed right away I don't know that I could see her coming back to the show. who knows.
Hope not. The hour long episodes never worked.

It's a series finale for a series that lasted a long time. Let it have an hour.
that was when they were randomly making them an hour each week for that stretch in season 4, but you could tell the eps just felt like two pieces stitched together. an hour finale would be easier to build momentum for and pack full.
bj novak's a staff writer on it and kaling is, well, mindy.
edit: oh, you mean the in-show reason? kelly's boyfriend was moving to miami (ohio) and ryan followed her with the cover that ohio is going to be the next silicon valley

Too bad NBC ruined that opening during their commercials BEFORE the show.
Still funny as fuck, though.

Solid episode. This season is already leagues ahead of last years. Catherine Tate looked pregnant. Her hips are huge and her belly looked a little bloated. Or maybe i just didn't notice before.
She slimmed down considerably between her stint in Doctor Who (End of Time Part 2 being her last episode) to this season.
She looked fine in Search Committee (season 7 finale), very thin in season 8, and she seems to be healthier in season 9.

They had like 1 episode last season to soften her up (Dwight and Jim helping her move) and people bought it. People are suckers.

Yep. That actually felt kind of like an older season of The Office. Hope more episodes are like that.
Just got caught up with the new season.
Dwight Jr is terrible. Pete (Jim clone?) has potential. Not sure why they're trying to set up some more love interests for Erin when we had that huge deal b/w Erin and Andy in Florida last season.
Looks like we're getting more Creed this season than usual. While Creed is awesome, it's because he comes in small bursts. Overuse could be bad but we'll see.
Story seems to be fine so far.

Looks like they're setting up for Jim and Pam to leave once and for all, maybe Darryl too. Since Dwight has his spinoff thing I guess they'll tie that to the story too.
That and the clapping both got me pretty good. It's definitely the most I've enjoyed the show in a few years, and aside from not liking Andy at all anymore I'm completely back on board...somehow
