How real do you think Erin’s vow to not come back was? I’m not a fan, so I’m kind of rooting for it to be real, but I wonder if the line was merely throwaway or if it’s setting the stage for an Erin plot to come in Florida. What do you think?
Was I alone in not particularly caring that Pam made an appearance on the show for the first time in months? It’s been so long since she’s been interesting … yay?
The titular pool party was a wild mix of characters, activities, and a scary house tour given by Robert California of what his home could have been had it only lived up to its debauch potential … and had he not gotten married to his current wife.
I loved last night’s ‘The Office’ cold open. A silent game makes so much sense in that office. I mean, where else would salespeople ignore ringing phones just so they could add another minute or two to their record of silence?
I’m still trying to decide if there’s something sweet going on between Darryl and Val, or if it’s just something for Darryl to do now that the race for regional manager is over. His changing into a tux went a long way toward supporting the idea that there’s something there. That was nice.
Lest I forget, I did enjoy Jim rolling and crawling out of the office, getting caught by the closing gate, and fleeing to the roof where he came across Creed flying a toy helicopter (Creed!), all in the name of not having to face Robert California. Smooth.
Gabe being mistaken for a Lincoln impersonator was funny … if it had stopped with Gabe having his picture taken with the stovepipe hat on and then leaving. I have no idea why it was dragged out like it was. Were they merely desperate to fill five minutes?
