The Office Crime Aid:The Office Season 5 Episode 4,S05e04 Watch Online - The Office Season 5, Episode 4

During the auction Jim was able to sneak out with Darryl and the guys from the warehouse and ended up at a bar, running into Roy Anderson in the process. Although I would've liked to see more of Jim and Roy's interactions, he was mostly necessary as a plot device to put even the smallest seed of doubt into Jim's head about his relationship with Pam. The following sequences with him driving out to see Pam, and then turning around do make me believe they aren't going to go that route, but I hope they do. Pam should be returning from school in the next few weeks, and it would be great to see how she handled the relationships she made out there.

Michael and Holly's relationship got off to a good start this week, as it seems like they're having fun and enjoying each others company. They are a perfect match, although combined with the last two weeks I feel a little over-saturated with them. Take Pam and Jim's relationship: we're still seeing them in the work setting, not really getting too much of a glimpse as to what their engagement is like outside the office, and I think that's for the better. A little bit goes a long way with aspects like that, and all the Holly and Michael stuff this week turned me off a bit. Of course the revelation with David Wallace at the end will have big repercussions next week for the Halloween episode.

The humor this week fell a little flat, especially compared to last weeks fiasco with the baby shower. The premise was fine, but the execution of the auction felt like it could have been much more, especially considering most of the cast was present for the scene. There were some funny bits, most notably Ryan shying away once David Wallace made a rare appearance, and most of Dwight's exchanges with Phylis, but as a whole I felt underwhelmed by the comedy this week.

One minor detail this week was the abundance that the camera crew was referred to. Although it is a small detail, I believe it engages the viewer more when "we" are referred to, and makes the documentary aspect of the show more believable.
