I love Steve Carel's acting. He is a very good actor but I can barely stand Micheal Scott. I understand that it's the premise for the show. For the character, annoying is an understatement of the galaxy. And similarly, the office - UK has the same character in the form of David Brent which is even worse. Ironically, Dwight is my favorite, and that's because his character is equally obnoxious but not irritating or particular as stupid as the Micheal character. Stanley adequately, in a nutshell made the statement that emphasizes how irate this character makes me feel everytime. I loved that about this episode.

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.
