The Office 6.8
-sigh- Let me start off by saying that I'm feeling really confused over what happened. Part of me wants to sympathize with them, but the other part of me doesn't.
So, Michael, Helene, Jim, and Pam go out to lunch, to celebrate Helene's birthday. Pam's still sore about Mike and her mom dating, but she seems to be coming to terms with it. Upon Pam getting Helene to reveal her true age, 58, Michael realizes that him dating her is wrong. (Superficial reasons, but I get where he's going with this. He's Michael Scott; of course he would!) So, he ends up dumping her.
Pam's mad that he dumped her mom on her birthday (and is still mad they dated, anyway), so Michael offers her a bribe. Either a raise, or she can punch him. She took the latter. Now for part of my confusion: I understand why she did it, but at the same time, I'm having trouble completely sympathizing with her. I'm pretty sure my problem lies with my dislike of her. Hell, she even admitted that she has the worst attitude in the office; which caused an amused reaction out of me, naturally. I don't know. OTL I just hope that they're actually going somewhere with her attitude. Chalking it up to pregnancy hormones, when she was getting bitchy even before then, just seems cheap.
Now, for Michael. He makes me rage at times, but I've come to realize that he's just a big kid that never grew up. In a way, it's kinda cute, but it can get really annoying, too. While his reasons for breaking up with Helene were shallow, I do feel bad for him. Even though it was obvious that his and Helene's relationship wasn't going to last. >.> If anything, though, I'm just glad that his rebound is over. Oh, and I'm glad that he mentioned Holly again. Now that Amy's had her baby, maybe she can show up around the finale? One can only hope.
Getting the A-plot out of the way, I much preferred the B-plot with the King of the Suck-Ups! XD Dwight trying to get on everyone's good side, so they can owe him a big favor later, was hilarious! What he wants, of course, is to try and get everyone to get Michael to fire Jim as co-manager, and let him take his place. MUAHAHAHA! So, eventually, he ends up with Andy returning the favors for everything he does for him. Heh. Andy has the same mindset that I do; always pay back your debt. It still astounds me over how much I adore Andy, now. I used to hate his guts, but now I love him.
For the minor bits of the episode that I liked:
-Kevin getting sassy with Oscar over him not agreeing with him.
-Creed being Creed, as always. (There's really never a dull moment with that guy, I swear.)
-Kelly actually made me laugh, for once (er, twice), with her bringing the popcorn to the fight and her line about Pam's crazy pregnancy strength.
-Even though I don't like Ryan, he looked hot in that outfit. (But WTF was up with that nude picture of Kelly?!)
-Toby teaching Pam how to punch.
-Some Dwichael moments, even though they ruined it in the end. XD
