Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

And then possibly have the remaining episode(s) be an epilogue/the fallout from the documentary being released? Could have been, should have been.
Miller-Boyett could do no wrong!
I wouldn't. Creed's fun as a background weirdo, he'd be dead boring as a main character.
Unless you watch Archer and imagine that this is Creed's life in the 60s.
Now, as the Office USA descends into that sort of humour, Tate joins the programme.
The programme really has no semblance to how it started - it was meant to resemble what working in an office is like. Now it has become so abstracted from that original purpose, the office just seems to be a location and springboard for crazy hijinks.
I asked this earlier, but never got a response. Does anyone know if the writers or producers are different now? There has to be some reason for the drastic change in writing quality, and even the overall format of the show.
"There are no necessary evils in government. Its evils exist only in its abuses. If it would confine itself to equal protection, and, as Heaven does its rains, shower its favors alike on the high and the low, the rich and the poor, it would be an unqualified blessing." -- Andrew Jackson
I believe that was the only "big" change the show underwent creatively throughout its run. I don't think anything more recent has occurred.
his hilarity is being crushed by the rest of the ensemble on the office
It's right up there with, but a bit above of, dumping Pam's mom on her birthday.
This is almost as uncomfortable as Scott's Tots, but I liked Scott's Tots better
I stopped watching when Florida started, and I started watching again just tonight. Pretty bad. Only two more episodes this season though, I think.
Woah, Florida is some of the best stuff this season, some of the best in years, really.
You gots ta get caught up.
"Hey, you know this person who has been nothing but terrible for as long as we've known them, and is making our work lives actively terrible? I just found out about something that happened to them a while ago, so we should be super nice to them now".
Plus, I've been constantly muting the TV during the Andy and Erin parts of this episode.
If Nellie isn't gone by the end of this episode, I'm officially done with this show.
The Andy Griffith Show was a good spin-off. YMMV on its spin-off, Gomer Pyle USMC.
Good Times coming from Maude wasn't too bad.
She's the new manager. For goods.
Woo.
What is with the world these days wanting to just reboot stuff even when it's not necessary?
I fully expect some kind of reckoning when Andy returns to Scranton next episode.
California is obviously up to something.
I prefer to give the writer's benefit of the doubt for now.
I'm interested to see where they take this.
If Nelly becomes the permanent manager I think I'm done with the show. I hope that the next episode has the office degenerate so badly that Andy or someone else replaces her.
"Readers who prefer tension and romance, Maledictions: The Offering, delivers... As serious YA fiction, I’ll give it five stars out of five. As a novel? Four and a half." - Liz Ellor
My new novel:
Maledictions: The Offering.
Now in Paperback!
EDIT: Another thing that pisses me off is how Robert California let Nelly walk all over him, but when Andy finally pulled the exact same "No" thing, Robert fired him. Why didn't he just fire Nelly when she started that shit?
He doesn't want to

If they're looking to end the show for good, I hope Jim gets the manager job. That'd make the show a nice character arc for him of "Your dreams are going to die in a fire" with a dash of "but sometimes that's okay".
That's the first thing I thought of when I saw Andy's box.
If faith is just a silent tribute, mine is just a desperate act.

Terrifying, I know.
Like a fungus or a like a tumor?
Semi-spoilers for end of the season:
It was really good, even if it was just rehashing the same storyline from three years ago.
Andy deserves his Cornell Business School Diploma.
The Vac - My Science Fiction Epic
Fortune Pancakes - My Gag-A-Day Comic
It's a minor rehash, but it's being handled differently enough that I'm okay with it.
I'm also super excited about
It just felt abnormally well put together for the Office in the last few seasons.
Andy got some fucking balls and showed a level of competence that virtually no one on the show has in ages.
Wasn't the funniest episode, but one of the best in my mind. I'm actually interested in what happens with the finale/next season now. Who knew?
EDIT: And Dwight/Jim felt like classic Dwight/Jim rivals/frienemies and less like a bumbling slapstick duo. In fact everyone showed a level of competence that they haven't since the early seasons before everyone became caricatures of themselves. Was it a new writer or something?
