I know! I mean, for the most part I really liked it. But as the first episode after the strike? It could have been so much more! Like, an actual episode set at Dunder-Mifflin maybe. With all of the cast. And someone on the Best Week Ever "review" pointed out that Andy was strangely quiet. So I don't know what the writer's were doing.
They should have done a real in-office episode and saved this one for next week or the week after. If the strike hadn't happened and this had followed an episode from the week before, I think it would have been better. But here it's almost like I've gotten in the mindset of "this is a new season" what with the wait being so long and as such I just feel like the first episode should have reflected that, gotten us reacquainted with everyone, y'know?
