The Office: Season 8, Episode 15 “Tallahassee” (B)
Whenever half the office picks up and heads somewhere, it often leaves the folks back at home with little to do. In this case, Andy makes a rookie mistake and doesn’t demand that someone, like poor Pam, act as the receptionist, and instead takes on the job himself. The closing shot seemed to indicate that he was doing it since he misses Erin and it makes him think of her, and I suppose that’s sweet, but enough already with this being so dragged out. On the road, I enjoyed Dwight’s different wake-up calls, with Ryan being tricked into thinking that Erin wanted him and Stanley not waking up to anything save for Dwight nearly suffocating him. Florida Stanley was a blast, and I like that he’s picked Jim to be his buddy there, telling him that he has to relax. Jim pranking Dwight during the wake-up call was fun, and telling him that he had poisoned him was entertaining too, though clearly there was much more wrong with him. Dwight busting out of the hospital to come back to try to win the title of Vice-President was a bit over-the-top, though I suppose it’s not out of the character for him. I appreciate the efforts to incorporate some of the best auditioners from last season’s finale, with Catherine Tate’s Nelly Bertrum proving to be an eccentric and wacky boss. Speaking of familiar faces, I’m not sure why Todd Packer keeps returning, since he’s really not someone the show needs to keep around.
