The Office Review: "Murder" (Episode 6.09)

By Gage Henry on 3:43 PM on November 13, 2009

The Office’s eighth episode, “Murder,” was a great way to dust off last week’s disastrous double date lunch between Michael, Jim, Pam and Pam’s mother, who is tactlessly dumped on her own birthday. Michael swiftly jumps from that role as the temperamental child to this episode’s all-knowing father figure whose mysterious ways pan out in the end. It’s tough to say whether he’s really growing up these days. There’s no telling what he’ll do between now and the end of the season, or even next episode.... read more

The Office Review: "Koi Pond" (Episode 6.07)

By Gage Henry on 12:34 PM on October 30, 2009

Before addressing the deep-rooted (but strangely charming) insecurities of Scranton branch’s employees, and especially those of the commanding duo of Michael and Jim, “Koi Pond” opens with Daryl pushing a paper-cart full of saucer-eyed kids through a haunted warehouse, outfitted with costumed co-workers and, well, not quite the age appropriate thrills. Michael successfully demonstrates the “too much of a good thing is a bad thing” theory by simulating his own hanging, kicking out a chair and convulsing his suspended body with his head tied in a noose. It was a nice nod to Halloween’s festivities and serves well in the... read more

By Gage Henry on 4:59 PM on October 23, 2009

“The Lover” marks the sixth season’s most spot-on episode, mainly, the well-executed schticks and screaming matches that inevitably ensue when an employee (Pam) discovers that her boss (Michael) has been sleeping with her mother— Michael’s latest exposé in inappropriateness that sparked from Jim and Pam’s wedding in “Niagara.”... read more

The Office Review: "Mafia" (Episode 6.05)

By Gage Henry on 5:16 PM on October 16, 2009

Oscar said it best during last night’s “Mafia” episode, describing the unavoidable bedlam in the office when the nucleus pair of characters, Jim and Pam, are away on their honeymoon. It was overwhelming entropy at its finest, headed by the overactive, ungoverned imaginations of Michael, Dwight and Andy.... read more
