Stanley or Ryan or Angela would have seen through Michael in a second and asked why he was wasting their time.Alan Sepinwallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03388147774725646742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-1160402060262993472006-10-09T09:54:00.000-04:002006-10-09T09:54:00.000-04:00I didn't think Michael's reaction was weird.

Think about it - as much as Dwight annoys him, Michael LOVES the fact that Dwight absolutely worships him, and Michael probably felt incredibly betrayed by the *one* person he knew he could count on in the office. So I didn't think it was too much of a stretch to think Michael could so overreact to the news that Dwight was trying to oust him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-1160255830078050722006-10-07T17:17:00.000-04:002006-10-07T17:17:00.000-04:00The moment little miss sunshine uttered the word "...The moment little miss sunshine uttered the word "superhero", the first thing I though was that Allan had done it again.

But it was so funny, I didn't mind. <BR/><BR/>Dwight killed me this episode with the waffles and his Neitzchean "Don't be naive!.....You can be in charge of the women." <BR/><BR/>I'm one of the people that will be annoyed if Jim hooks up with the new coworker.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-1160163231063745442006-10-06T15:33:00.000-04:002006-10-06T15:33:00.000-04:00I think the best thing is that Jan always seems ex...I think the best thing is that Jan always seems exasperated with Michael, constantly yelling at him and telling him how inappropriate he is, but always shows little signs that she cares about him. She didn't have to call Michael after Dwight met her behind his back, but she did. I don't think that was a purely business decision; she likes the poor schmuck and doesn't want to see him get fired.<BR/><BR/>By the way, did it seem weird that Michael could be that cunning and deceptive? It worked, but it just seemed out-of-character for him.Joelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05271095412998848104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-1160161877075414432006-10-06T15:11:00.000-04:002006-10-06T15:11:00.000-04:00Hey, Alan, I didn't know you were a member of the ...Hey, Alan, I didn't know you were a member of the Green Lantern Corps.
