The Banker

What people lose sight of is that The Office was made before Netflix streaming was invented, so episodes like these were a great opportunity for viewers at that time to look back and appreciate the series. People who binge-watch it in one week over Netflix don't get it.

This isn't the episode of The Office that you would recommend to a friend who hasn't seen the show, but its one that if you have been following the show, should be well received. As many of you, I have felt a little disappointed in what The Office has given us in the last couple of seasons. This episode rekindled the memories of how great to us it was when it was at its best, with Dwight and Jim still having a rivalry, Pam and Jim still having a connection we can all relate to, and the rest of the workers being individuals rather than fill ins for the show. While it was hard to swallow that the show isn't what it used to be, it brought hope that it isn't entirely lost. I hope they wrap up what has been a sub-par season six on a high note, and end the show like it started rather than where it is now.

Worst episode of this season and maybe of this entire TV series? Like, what's the point to fill 50 or 60% this episode time with old clips, that just seems like lazy writing, sorry.

All the sitcoms got this kinda episodes, even more than once. Perfect to remind.

It's apparent that this episode didn't have much of a budget. The whole episode is a sequence of flashbacks to previous episodes with about 1% of new content, with even the new content not being that great. What was going on with Michael's wig? It was brown!

You can safely skip this episode.
