It's amazing what a new Office episode will do to your life. Or, my life, to be more specific.
For one - it brought me and some of my favorite friends together for a good time and some hard laughs. Not to mention the amazing food, courtesy of my mother (whoot whoot), and Costco.
I could go over every detail and say what was good and what was bad (ahem...cough) but to be honest with you I have a deep, unconditional love for this show...so the minor flaws do not sway me, nor do I consider them too significant to pay much attention to.
Having said that, I do disapprove of Angela and her ridiculous-ness...and even though Andy is, for the most part, intolerable to any human with good taste, you gotta hand it to him for being a sucker. Pure and simple. Observe:
Andy: I don't know if there's any one place that has all these things.
Angela: It's not my problem.
Andy: Thousand-year-old church in the continental United States. There has to be a rainbow. 24-hour veterinarian on call.
Angela: It's not my problem.
Andy: Thousand-year-old church in the continental United States. There has to be a rainbow. 24-hour veterinarian on call.
Angela: That is very important to me, so -- I have work to do. Just do it.
Andy: Sweetheart....just so you know, I don't care where we get married. I'll marry you right here in this building. I'll marry you in the parking lot. I'll marry you in the eye of a hurricane in the middle of a snowstorm on top of a monsoon. All I care about is that we're gonna spend the rest of our lives together.

And for heaven's sake, Michael. Ask Holly out already. She's amazing.
As far as Jim and Pam goes...I got a little scared for a second. I mean...she's away for three months at school, cute, funny guys lurking behind every corner...and look! A scandalous scene where she is flirting with one of her classmates. Luckily my fears were suppressed when Jim Halpert invites her to lunch at a gas station "half way" between the two of them. And then in the midst of her standing in the rain complaining about how she had to drive farther than he did she is shut up by his sudden proposal! Ask anybody who was there, I screamed, I laughed, I cried. Well, for the most part that's true.
And yes, I do agree that the engagement seemed to happen quick. But I will predict for you that the writers were intentional in doing this. Something is going to happen in the midst of her being away....duh duh dum.....
For a random side note, some of my favorite Dwight moments:
Dwight: Fax this for me.
Jim: Come on, man. She goes to New York in like 10 minutes.
Dwight: It's not gonna take her 10 minutes to fax it, Jim. (to Pam) If I don't see you again, goodbye. Well, actually, I'll see you when you give me the fax confirmation, so never mind.

Holly: Hey, could I have a rain check on the mini-golf. I, uh, actually have a date tonight.
Michael: Uh...
Holly: It'll probably be a total disaster, but...
Michael: Um, I think you'll have fun. Men from Scranton are handsome, and they know how to show a woman a good time.
Dwight: Not that guy who murdered his mother. He was not so handsome. Also Kevin.
Michael: Uh...
Holly: It'll probably be a total disaster, but...
Michael: Um, I think you'll have fun. Men from Scranton are handsome, and they know how to show a woman a good time.
Dwight: Not that guy who murdered his mother. He was not so handsome. Also Kevin.
Dwight: Attention! Attention! We only have a few weeks left. (looking at Phyllis) And most of you are just as fat as the day we began.
Jim: How much weight have you lost, Dwight?
Dwight: I am hardly the problem, Jim.
Jim: No, you're definitely the problem.
Dwight: This is what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna randomly select three names and these three people will get liposuction. Uhhhhh Stanley, Phyllis, Kevin. And you will be responsible for your own medical bills.

Phyllis: There was no client. Dwight drove me to an abandoned warehouse five miles away and pushed me out of the car. I had to walk home with no money and no phone.
Dwight: And you burned over a thousand calories walking home. And this branch just got a little bit closer to winning the contest. Phyllis Vance, ladies and gentlemen! (claps)
Phyllis: You left me in a bad part of town!
Dwight: Yeah, I took your purse. What are you worried about? You look great. I can definitely see the difference.

Haha...oh man. I love this show. And I think for the most part we don't give it enough credit. Because of that fact that there is no way of knowing what is planned for season five, we don't see the whole picture, and therefore may be frustrated with the small pieces that are being handed to us.
Be patient, friends. Something amazing is going to happen.
