I like "The Office" since season 1 even the season 4 is kind of plain. But from season 6 it is getting down. The plot of Jim become manager and Michael dating Pam's mother is kind of going nowhere and i don't see the necessary. On the contrary, it is just breaking the balance it builds from the former 5 seasons. The wedding of Jim and Pam is fine to me. Besides that, there is not much progression. I like to see the things they do base on their character, but when the writers start to develop the characters it starts becoming difficult to organize. I always think "The Office" is like a metaphor of the relationship in society but in a funny and genuine way, even in fact these things are not really so funny when it really happen in actual life. But if the plot is writing for "as plot", not really for the spirit it has from beginning, then I think it's time to close the drama.

Double Date (#6.9)

Michael finds out how old Pam's mom is and breaks up with her on her birthday.
Wow Michael, this was even worse than that blind date he had! The breaking up moment was so awkward! I love though how Pam made him fear the punch, and how Toby was teaching her how to do it with Michael watching! The end slap was also good.
Dwight and Andy trying to outfavor each other was a fun story as well

Worst episode of the show

The one of the two moments that I considered stop watching this show, first one when Michael gets punched and the second one when Michael leaves. They developed him in to such a loveable character and humiliating in front everyone. Better to write off Pams character as she is getting annoying at times.
So-so episode

I really wasn't impressed with this episode. I thought that it started in a funny way and that Micheal was acting typical Micheal, but I thought that Pam was outside her character. We all remember Pam as a nice girl that wasn't ever violent. I understand that her rage was trying to be projected, but I found it extremely tasteless that she wanted to get into a fist fight. I do not support violence and due to this Pam and Jim as less of heroes to me. I added Jim to the list because I saw him as a supporter to Pam's violent behavior. I felt sorry for Micheal being humiliated for no reason, he just broke up with Pam's mother, that's really not a big deal. He even didn't do it in any offensive way. So, this episode was a disappointment. The problem could have been resolved differently.
