OH! Dwight's thing about wanting to menstruate? His reasons? I fell in love with him all over again because of that. I am willing to go with the PAAAAM moment being a nod to Citizen Kane.

That angry face and the way he yells "Pam!" reminds me so eerily of Charles Kane. I highly doubt this was intended, and I doubt anyone else thought that besides me. I don't know. I just think about that every time I watch the scene.

I agree that Andy/Drew's character is much more sympathetic and enjoyable. Some of my favorite scenes from Women's Appreciation were when Andy realized the sketch was Dwight and commented that the guy on the flier "was a real pervert", and later when he asked Dwight if he could put the fliers of the pervert all over his neighborhood. And then leave it to Jim to let Dwight off the hook before things really got out of hand. Is he back to Andy, or is he still going by the kinder and gentler Drew?

I think she said that because she's mad Phyllis got flashed, and feels like revenge would've been had had it been her that got flashed while she was still dating Roy. The bit about Jim was just her getting off on a tangent. Was that last bit, where Dwight yelled "PAAAAM!" after seeing his reflection with the drawn-on mustache, a reference to old-skool movies? I feel like the delivery, along with that silly little mustache, is referencing _something_ and I just can't remember or don't know what it is. Either way, it's one of my favorite moments of the episode (along with Andy's subtle realization re: the poster). Speaking of Andy, he's coming along nicely, and I think he could turn into a pretty good dude and a sympathetic character, becoming more "normal" instead of closer to a Dwight level of ridiculousness. Andy, he doesn't know how to be a good guy and go with the flow. Dwight? He's seen how to do it, and doesn't care.

Nice to read you, Mr. Fan. I was going to think up a good *fan* pun there but I figure you've heard them all by now. Recap nippets from James. Nice to read you, Mr. Fan.

I love the little things Creed does to creep everyone else out. I don't think there are enough of them on the show. As for the whole Pam vs. Karen thing, I am a Jam fan. I have nothing against Karen, i just see Jim and Pam as having this simple and happy relationship that makes you go awwwww, whereas Karen and Jim's relationship is so complicated and convoluted. Angela isn't kidding about the having to wear children's clothing. My mother is the same way, and for a while I was. Of course, I've never tried wearing american girl clothing... Well, that's it Really, I thought it was a great episode.

It's a recording of Dwight asking for information about the sex predator, and at the end informing you of Dunder Mifflins wonderful paper products.
