I did find the scene in the office w/ Dwight to be hysterical. The way he grabbed that Indian woman as if she was in distress was amazing and let me just add, I luv Phyliss. Everything she does is just funny.

I didn't think the eppy was that funny. It was sort of humour based soley on awkward moments rather than jokes. That works often but not for a whole show.

The Office's humor comes from the awkward moments. That's what makes it The Office and not something stupid like "Just Shoot Me".

No, the funniest moment was Angela saying she'd take the Bible, the Purpose Driven Life, and the DaVinci Code (to burn). I spewed on that one. Hubby's a pastor and you have no idea how many people treat the Purpose Driven Life like it is THE MOST IMPORTANT BOOK EVER and a work of fiction is the MOST EVIL BOOK EVER. So funny.
I love this show. |

Don't start THAT again.
UK Office > US Office > just about any other american sitcom except Arrested Developement and Curb. |

I think this show has improved so much since last season. Last night was great.
Almost all the girls being dressed as cats. "I bet you wish you wore a dress every day" "What does it say under martial arts experience?" The only thing I didnt get, what was the point of the scene at the very end with the trick or treaters? |

it was to make you like Michael.
However, I think they're ruining the Michael Scott character this year. They're laying on the pity parade way too much (almost every episode) and he's barely a dick anymore. He's just a boss who's not qualified for his job with no friends. Not as funny as it could be. The show still's entertaining though, but they need to turn things around, make him more Brent-like (like how he was in the Diversity Day episode in S1). Otherwise, when he gets fired at the end, it will just be cruel and he won't really deserve it. And the fact that he ended up having to decide who to fire between two characters who had barely (if ever) even appeared on the show before was kind of a cop-out. And the way he was acting at the end with the trick or treaters reminded me a lot of 40 y/o virgin. |

Halloween ep was some of the funniest TV I've seen in a long time. Dwight's face covered by the cowl except for his mouth directly lifted from Star Wars was brilliant. The cat costumes.
I think they think they need to soften Mike's character or lose all the new fans brought aboard by 40 year old virgin. The show is doing OK but not great. |

I think "Kelly" was also in the 40 year old virgin, I think she played the Paul Rudd character's legendary girlfriend who he runs into at speed dating.
I think they have improved Michael Scott this year and it's sensible to make him more sympathetic. He is still inept and deserves to be fired, but last season he just looked like an asshole. This season he strikes me more as someone lacking social skills and friends and there's more of a reason that he is an asshole. Maybe I'm just reading too much into this!

I wish he would've fired that girl who hates on Pam. |

So who ended up getting fired?

Some random male employee we never saw before. Michael offerred him a healthy severance package and Chili's gift certificate, though. His parting words were something like, "Jim, Pam, Angela, Kelly, Phyllis, Toby, Oscar, Meredithm Stanley, Kevin, Dwight, temp guy... if anybody wants to meet me for drinks I'll be at the bar down the street. Everybody else can screw themselves."
