The Office, 7x17, "Todd Packer"

I want you all to know this is a safe place where we can talk about how great The Office is and how excited we are that next season, the ensemble is going to surprise everyone and continue to be just as funny and awesome as ever.

Which pair made you laugh more: Andy and Pam (I loved all the callbacks to Andy's anger-management problems and his tender heart, and of course the two people most easily pushed over would have a delightful momentary power struggle before joining forces..."Pretty sneaky, sis" = awwwwwwwwwwwwwww) or Dwight and Jim?

"Have a butterbeer on us"

I really can't decide. All-around great.

I always wondered about the best way to break my computer:

"Maybe because I hate your broke ass!"

Also, Mindy Kaling looked very, very pretty (not to sound all creepy a la The Faculty) in this ep:

I loved the way that Kelly just appeared over her cubicle wall during the Holly v staff confrontation.

I also loved the teeny moment of Oscar coming over, arms crossed, to stand behind Kevin during Todd Packer's "apology." He's always looking out for his very big little bro:

I think as they transition Michael Scott into being more and more Steve Carell-y (read: nice and very good at vulnerable, empathy-inducing love), I find myself okay with waving good-bye and welcoming a more ensembley mix-and-match show to my Thursday Stories.
