b, 21b, 21Darryl wasn't into her and I think the actor that plays Darryl is being written out of the show due to drug problems (I'm guessing here). He was arrested in June and the last few episodes have shown him being overweight and with a scratchy voice. b, 21b, 21h, 21b, 21b, 21I see. that is enlightening. I swear I remember him saying that the relationship was important to him (to the cameras, not to Kelly or anyone else) He might have just been blowing smoke. Or my memory fails me. Probably the latter. b, 21b, 21b, 21So why was Ryan looking all kinds of shook after the "that's cool" text came back?

b, 21b, 21To be honest with you, I figured this was coming.b, 21b, 21If actions speak louder than words, Darryl always did act slightly embarrassed that he was with Kelly in the first place. And while I missed a few eps from last season (after the strike ended), I have noticed that this season Kelly and Darryl haven't really been seen together...even when they were in the same room, they didn't seem to even acknowledge each other. So, the breakup didn't shock me. b, 21b, 21h, 21b, 21b, 21I don't think Darryl's too worried about his chances of replacing Kelly.b, 21b, 21 img src="http://img352.imageshack.us/img352/80/darryl64fw7.gif"1 b, 21b, 21 Link to full sized Darryl's triumphant walk .gif/a1

b, 21b, 21b, 21well yeah, I got the "oh shit, she's mine again" thing, but I was thrown off by the look of surprise.

I've never been a "It's not the having, it's the getting" kind of guy. If the final look on his face was simply supposed to be "Now that I got what I wanted, I'm not sure I want it," then I got it. I tend to (over)think things through, so I always believe there's a reasoning process behind shit like this, so when there's not, I'm like WTF?

That one episode where there was a nasty odor coming from Michael's office was possibly the only time I've ever seen him crack a smile.
Shame if Darryl is getting written out, that won't help his problem. Plus he was developing realy well.b, 21b, 21Tell your boss off to his face over the phone, try it.
When Andy drunkenly asked Angela why they hadn't fucked yet, I was hoping that would have been the Moment Of Truth where Andy mans up, calls off the wedding, and tells the Dunder-Mifflin Ice Queen where to go.b, 21b, 21Kinda messed it up the next day when Andy had to go back and apologize...

Just watched the office "Moroccan Christmas" episode and damn I am depressed! This show has always mixed in some pathos, but the alcoholic plotline led to a lot more discomfort than laughter. And the ending where Michael suggests that he will "help" Meredith the way he did Jan..... shudder... uggh. But I guess I like The Office because the humor and the discomfort come from the same place.
i don't care what they say about humor coming from uncomfortable situations - tonight's episode just flat out wasnt all that great. meredith isnt good enuff to be the main plot, and the situation with Toby The Human Carpet just gets more and more unwatchable every time.b, 21b, 21but i AM feeling the andy/angela/dwight triangle, though!!

Last night's episode started well enough and showed promise, but then went south quickly. The intervention/alcoholic angle did not work at all, not funny, especially during the holidays when its the hardest time for alcoholics in general. Also the Dwight and Anglea revelation was too abrupt. They fucked this one up.b, 21b, 2130 Rock had funny moments but all in all was predictable and contrived.
every long-running series has that one episode (or more) that you never want to see againb, 21b, 21never liked the Sanford & Son where Fred buys a horseb, 21b, 21never liked the Brady Bunch that centered around the three orphaned kidsb, 21b, 21last nite's 30 Rock and Office are on this sad list
i think the office has massively jumped the shark this season. it just feels awful. it's such a shame to see Jim and Pam reduced to corny BS.. i blame the writer's strike. Another fine show ruined.

font class="post"1b, 21b, 21It's not as good so far but I wouldn't say the show is ruined. This episode was badly paced and the intervention was dumb... Meridith on fire and Andy playing sitar at the end made me laugh though.b, 21b, 21It seems like any Christmas themed episode on any show turns out badly, not that funny and sometimes cheesey.
You people are tough critics, I thought there were plenty of funny pieces to last nite's show. b, 21Relax, they trying to make you laugh, not give you a blowjob.
font class="post"1b, 21b, 21Funny, [i]hell/i1 - you was laughing to keep from crying! img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" 21b, 21b, 21I say wait till next week or even January when the show will be back on track...

I just have not been feeling the last bunch of episodes.. i really hope i'm wrong, i'm a huge fan but it's been going nowhere for a while now. I really hope they get back into a tighter direction, it's just like a comic scenario free for all atm with no focus
