Even if he goes crazy, I will still call Chris "Superman"

Michael has big plans for his 15th anniversary party at Dunder Mifflin, but is in for a shock when the new, no-nonsense Vice President (guest star Idris Elba) has some ideas of his own. Meanwhile, Jim's prank on Dwight has some unexpected results.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Michael does not respond well to badass authority. Should be fun.
Discuss!

Anyway an OK episode.

I'm so confused! The combination of Michael quitting & the new VP not saying goodbye to Jim (after Jim said bye about 4 times in a very friendly manner) makes it seem like the Scranton office might close?

Also, I find it hard to believe that Dunder Mifflin would "beg" Michael to come back to the company.

Bite your tongue! But that has crossed my mind also. even though I've not seen any announcements to that affect.

EDIT: I have seen rumors that Pam and Jim will have a spin-off.

I think his (Scranton) branch has the best performance of all the other branches.

OOooh, this episode was "classy."

Meh, Michael does hasty things all the time. He'll probably just make a joke out of it in the next episode, so no worries. I did find it pretty funny that one of Jim's pranks finally backfired on him. Last time that happened was... maybe when he pushed Andy too far and Andy had the rage incident? Can't remember, but it's been awhile.

Also, Angela is awfully slutty for such a uptight priss.

Maybe it's her "abstinence" training.

Hmmm...not one of my favorites. It was ok, but not great.

And you are correct Guy...Scranton is performing the best, that's the reason Michael did the "lecture tour" lol

Did you guys know that the writers of this episode were hired to do a draft of a possible script for Ghostbusters 3?

yes indeed guytwo. However, numbers aside, he frequently displays insubordination & often has trouble carrying on a professional conversation.

True, but that's why we love Michael so much.

Are you on a sub? I always wanted to be a sailor on a submarine but flunked the physical. However, that also kept me out of Vietnam.
