The Office: Episode 159 – Angry Andy

• The Writer – Justin Spitzer
• Directed by – Claire Scanion
• A brief synopsis – Kelly is faced with a decision between Ryan and a new man.  Robert is on the verge of making a decision between Andy and Nellie.
• The best line – Robert: Andy, not everyone here is important.  And the word is, impotence.
• 2nd best line – Pam (incredulously to Ryan): Don’t shake our baby?  I’d never heard that before.
• The best moment –  Phyllis’ 12 cliché’s is one of the better openings in a while, but Pam making it quite clear her distaste for Ryan is exquisite.
• The best story line – The evolution of Andy.
• Notable guest appearance – Sendhil Ramamurthy as Robbie, Kelly’s new paramour.
• Grade – A

I am so tired of Nellie Bertram.  I so love Kelly Kapoor.  The storyline, improbable as it is, has a real good flow to it.  The best thing for me is that in having Andy experience a recurrence of an earlier event, it is clear how far he has come in all the years.  The depth of his character has been a reward for the viewer that Michael has never been able to do, for whatever reason.  The most important reason for the success of the episode is that everyone, literally, has a moment to shine.
