    Man I hate Andy

    Can't stand Andy. Glad that he was gone for a while after this episode

    An outrageously funny build up to an iconic moment

    The Return is on of my favorite episodes of the entire show. Ed Helms is perfect as Andy and as annoying as he is, it's one of the funniest episodes!

    Then comes the wall punch, a jaw dropping moment of the show that is always hilarious.

    I read reviews

    The last episode was a downer for some viewers as evident in their reviews. And by downer, they mean the character Andy, an employee from Stamford. By his schemes, Micheal gets turned against Dwight which leads to the latter leaving Dunder Mifflin. Some even stressed dislike for the actor himself, Ed Helms. I'm not going to disagree with that but here's my opinion. He is annoying. He is distasteful and a suck up and the show's characters feel the same way but IMAO, that's the point. The show's runners (Micheal and to a lesser extent, Dwight) so far are obnoxious, they are annoying, they get in other people's faces and they are real. I for one, am glad to have Micheal get another character who shows him what it feels like when someone drives you crazy. He tells a story (Micheal's mother kissed his butt? Literally, weird) and can't believe how someone can have so little self awareness lol.

    I always appreciate consistency and growth in a character. That's why viewers are beginning to fall in love with Dwight; Solid character, annoying but with a lot of redeeming qualities. Even Jim misses him. That says alot. He sacrifices himself for love and that endears him to our hearts. Who's to blame, I think Angela shares as much as Andy but here's the thing; this show has the tendency to become stale without an adequate villain or foil, someone to shake things up a little bit and I see this character Andy has some potential. I like having a character I love to hate.

    On to the love triangle involving Karen, Jim and Pam, it's intriguing and will be cool to see where it goes from here. Welcome back Oscar.

    Good to see Michael as the normal person

    This is actually one of my favorite episodes of the series, I had hard time going through the series in the beginning solely because of michael. He is the worst and unbearable. The mostly annoying kind of coworkers and to make matters worse he is the boss. Stubborn man child with the power he should never possessed.

    But then we meet andy, at first I thought he's suppose to be another dwight but then they move to scranton.. andy immediately turn into an upgraded and worse version of michael. Because so far michael has only being stupid without ill intention. And I really like this light on michael, he gets to taste his own medicine. Andy really gets under his skin with all his shenanigans towards him.

    We could actually see Michael being the quite one hahahaha I really like that for once he is the one try to contain him self from someone crossing the line and act silly.
