This episode airs in a few days time.

Rundown from TV.com

In this hour long special, its the launch of the new Dunder Mifflin Infinity website and Michael is anticipating going to the launch party in NYC. At the Scranton branch, Angela and the Party Planning Committee plan a satellite party. Meanwhile, Dwight competes against the website to be top seller of paper in a day.

I like the hour long episodes so far, but it seems like a little much. I almost can't wait for the 30 minute episodes to come back. Weird.

They've been funny this season. I think the comedic pacing is a bit drawn out because we're seeing 47 minutes instead of 23.

-HECK!

I don't think many of the characters are being used to their full potential at the moment. Dwight's been incredibly un-funny lately. Killing his girlfriend's cat was hilarious, but he didn't do anything funny in those scenes (it was the Blonde chick that was funny, talking to Pam about the frozen vegetables being ripped to shreds in the first episode).

Michael's been a little lame lately too. It was funny when he was calling the founder of Dufflin Mifflin an old fart and he drove into the river "because of technology," but didn't do much beyond that.

This episode should've aired last night in the US, so hopefully I'll be watching it later tonight.

In this episode, the part where they're all staring at the DVD logo jumping across the screen is hilarious. I think everybody's spent time doing that at one time or another.

Also funny this episode:

"How do you tell someone it's over? You send them a notarized letter, right? But what if that person is your notary?"

The whole Dwight Vs. Computer thing was dumb, except for:

"It appears the website has come to life. This happens sometimes with computers and robots."

Michael (talking to the pizza shop): "And could you throw in a few extra pizza's for our..."
Jim: "Ransom."
Michael: "...for our troubles."

Can't think of much else right now.

Great episode. At the end when the webcam was on Michael he says something like "one of my guys beat your computer so shove it up your ass". I cracked up.

The DVD logo thing was great. I've been in meetings like that. Ugh.

-HECK!

Oh yeah, Michael telling Ryan where to go was comedy. I love what they're doing with Ryan. He's so obnoxious at times, and though he's got some ideas for the moment, he's gonna crash and burn eventually.

Kelly's funny. Ryan sends a memo, and she asks if it says if he's seeing someone. Frickin' comedy. I can take and leave Andy at the moment. Him trying to pick up Angela is interesting, but in no way funny.
