The Office - New Leads, 6.20

Another Office reminiscent of the golden, olden days of earlier seasons! Since I've had a busy week and I'm still studying, some brief points:

• A rare Toby talking head! How I've missed Toby and his endearing-turned-creepy love for Pam. Good 'ol seasons three and four.
• "Pam texted back saying we could give them all iPods." Christmas Party much?
• Michael and Dwight talking about their former relationship, another throwback. "Hope grows in the dump."
• I'm absolutely loving the Andy/Erin tags we've been getting recently. Cutest office romance since PB&J. However, the cinematography on their kiss was inconsistent with the documentary we're supposedly witnessing... It used to be what made The Office unique, but now that Modern Family and Parks & Rec use it (among others?) and it isn't part of the story anymore, it seems pretty useless. It's mostly used now as ModFam uses it - only for talking heads and an organic, handheld camera feel. No more interacting with the cameramen, nor any indication they actually exist. I liked it better when they asked the tough questions in asides, or were shut out of private meetings (though they're the reason, I assume, we didn't witness Cecelia's birth firsthand), or meddled in employees' love lives. Oh well.
• We actually got some Kelly/Ryan banter too! Good episode. Good throwbacks. Keep it up, Office!
