    Ryan Started the Fire

    I guess it was just an okay for me. Not my favorite, have seen better episodes. This one felt very bland and not tasty. Hope other episodes will be better.

    'Ryan started the fire!'

    A good episode with funny scenes and quotes. We see more of Dwight's character and the relationship between Michael and Ryan. But it includes a weird perception of Jim by Pam. The small b-plot between Jim and Katy is kind of tasteless, but still a good episode.
