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.

If I wanted to watch a sum of clips for a bunch of laughs I'd just watch a YouTube edit of it that has better. This is just lazy I thought it was funny when he asks him the first question and it showed some flashbacks... that would have been fine but the movie goes back into the plot and then goes back yet again in the flashbacks and then vice versa rinse wash repeat. We don't need to rewatch what we already know. This is probably the worst episode I've ever seen in the office of all the episodes.

I don't understand how this episode has such a low rating, one of the lowest in the series. I guess it must stem from the fact that it is a "filler" episode or doesn't present anything new.

But this episode is full of pure heart. 6 seasons in, its great to look back on all the comedy and moments that made the show, right before the show began to slowly die out.

Seeing all the great parts is enough to bring a tear to your eyes. Personally, I was balling. It was refreshing, rewarding, and truly beautiful.

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.

OK, so this episode deals with a banker from the company that is buying DM, coming to the Scranton branch to review some things. He begins to interview Toby, who answers his questions and-wh-WHAT?! Why are we being shown scenes from other episodes. Yes, my friends, this is a clip show, which is a staple of any good comedy show. Now, the major problem with this episode is not that it is a clip show, but the way they set it up.

1. There is no transition between present day and the clips, which makes it confusing, because, for the most part, this is a show that takes place in ONE location. This means that we will see Toby and the banker in the annex, and then cut to something happening in the main office. But it's actually a flashback, and there is no way of telling.

2. There were SOOOOOOOO many better ways to set this episode up. I mean, really, just through Toby's memories? Really? In fact, a much better way to set this up would be to actually acknowledge for once that there is supposed to be a camera crew filming their daily office lives. Maybe, we could actually see who is behind the camera, and they would show the characters a tape of some of the events that they have filmed, and we could see the characters reacting to it, which in my opinion would be hilarious.

I love this show, but i consider this to be the worst episode of all time.
