I find Dwight and Angela as a couple endearing, despite the fact that both are creepy separately.

I'm disappointed that Kelly is just getting stranger and stranger. I much preferred the cooler Kelly who was mocking the creepy baby poster during the yankee swap.

I guess Jan just can't help herself. Her judgement is in question anyway - why the heck would Michael still be where he is when she has seen time and again that he doesn't have what it takes to be the boss. He's a good sales guy - but heck, he nearly led the entire downstairs gang into a union.

Roy is such a boor.

No one has mentioned how Michael points out all the "great dining" in New York, then goes on to list Red Lobster. Dwight's sense of wonder when he realizes he's the bobblehead was great, and I loved Angela's "I wouldn't know anything about that, but I'm glad you liked it". Their office romance is so contrary to their perception of proper office behavior. The only thing that gets me is when Jan kisses Michael-- on the lips, no less! She knows he's an idiot, has just escaped almost losing her job, and then she goes in for a lip kiss? It would have been in keeping with character if she'd tried for the friendly on-the-cheek, and then Michael had turned it into more (but then maybe that's what happened (my TV's kind of small!). If so, someone set me straight!)

Oh my gosh... I found myself trying to breathe during this episode. It was just so funny.

Michael's whole NYC tour, the awkwardness of him blurting out his relationship with Jan, Oscar and his "mom," when Ryan blurts out how he hooked up with Kelly on Feb. 13, the bobblehead and Dwight's suggesting a return gesture of a "ham." It just gets funnier every week.

Michael is king... another great show.

Pam -- sigh. This episode's new hairdo and lack of frumpy sweater made her look even cuter. I wonder if this will be a build up of something else in Pam.

There weren't many big laughs or awkward moments this episode, but it was very intriguing. This is one of those episodes where you can see the 'real' Michael and not the one who tries so hard to be a manager everyone likes and fears at the same time. It also turns out that Michael isn't as much of a tool as some of the other managers in the company.

It was also good to see an episode not focusing on Jim and Pam. I think that would have been too much of a cliche for a Valentine's Day themed show.

BTW, the cameo of Conan O'Brien walking right past Michael was classic.

Immediately after viewing last night's episode, I was *extremely* upset over the lack of Jim/Pam interaction, especially since the promos leading up to the episode seemed to imply otherwise. But now that I have had a chance to calm down, I can appreciate the brilliance of the writers to reflect what happens in real life: utterly shattered expectations on Valentine's Day. It happens to the best of us!

Blogger Michael--
"...Kim professes her almost-obsessive feelings for Ryan..."

I believe you mean Kelly.

Anyway, I agree with most of the people here in that I think it's great when they interact withthe camerapeople. Like when they see something and "point it out" to the cameramen. Or just giving the "I can't believe this is happening" face. It's brilliant.

The only show on television that always has me wanting more at the end of the episode.

I agree with the above: The characters talk far too openly in front of what would be a very intrusive film crew. That's the biggest suspension of disbelief required with the show.

Jim is the main offender when it comes to mugging to the camera, but I rather like it.

One of the best shows so far. Michael's guided tour of NY (going for a "New York slice" at Sbarro's) was hilarious.
Back in the office, the Valentines Day story line was brilliant for revealing characters. Jenna Fischer was outstanding as Pam--nothing she said, but her melancholy expression spoke volumes about her relationship. Excellent episode.
I'm still bugged by the multiple camera angles--it's a distraction. For example, the very serious personal conversation between Jan and Michael would never have taken place with three cameras present. It looked like standard sitcom rather than 'documentary.' But the "voyeuristic" camera at the final elevator scene was perfectly played (and typical of the Brit version).
I know, I'm making more of this than it deserves.
Still, it's a great show.
