Post-S2 Outrage-o-Meter: "The Duel"

New "series," I guess. Haters of S5, here are your talking points!:

- Jim acted like a mature adult, including trying to mediate between Dwight and Andy, but giving up when it became clear he couldn't do anything. Clearly this proves he was a douchebag, through magic.

- The episode circled around Andy, who was not in all-holy S2.

- Pam's hair still isn't a mess. Also, complaining about the speedometer (was that what it was called?) at the beginning of the episode was totally bitchy.

- JAM didn't interact. Even though we had many episodes where they were front-and-center this season, clearly this shows that Jim is a stupid asshole that ignores Pam/Pam is a total heartless bitch who ignores Jim. Pam would just be better off with Roy. After all, that's the way things were in S2. Plus, John Krasinski looks SEWWWWW HAWWWWT when he's all mopey (/creepyopinionsofwomennearing50).

- Andy tried to ram Dwight with a car. Clearly they are ripping off the pinnacle of stupid car-related humor, as found in "The Injury," and simultaneously trying to infuriate us via referencing the car crashing into the lake in "Dunder-Mifflin Infinity," which was obviously the worst episode of any TV show ever.

(Eh, this seemed was a lot funnier when I thought of it. I just like bitching about others' bitching, what can I say.)
