Overall: Lots of shouting and high-strung emotions in this episode. We’re not quite buying Pam’s reaction, but everything else is pretty funny. Plus, in classic Office fashion, Michael even gets his redeeming moment of humanity when he demands to know why he’s such a bad guy. (Well, it’s not like it seems that difficult to answer…but no, he isn’t that bad. And that’s why we love The Office.) Overall episode rating: Satisfactory...
Michael Chute kindled a fire as night fell and the party was ending, and I sat down with his wife, who wore big boots and a blue bandanna that tied back long kinky hair.

...understand that paranoid schizophrenic in this week's episode should probably get first priority, but FlyBy believes that the residents might be equally benefited. Therapy made Meredith happy and it's working its magic on Christina and Owen-- perhaps if Lexie was less high-strung, there would be fewer incidents of her tripping, falling, crying, and being covered in donor blood. On second thought, we can't fix everyone at Seattle Grace--FlyBy does need someone to laugh...
...wraparound sampot many Cambodians still wear today), the ruined capital suddenly becomes a Cecil B. DeMille production, overrun with slaves and lepers, loud with fireworks and boar fights. Imagine, there's Indravarman III standing next to you on the Elephant Terrace, bedecked in golden bangles, a four-pound pearl strung around his neck, both of you sweating buckets in the midday sun. He invites you for a dip in the royal pool nearby, as he should. Cambodia is "unbearably hot," as Zhou complains, "and no one can go on without bathing several times a day." That much hasn't changed...
...Worthless is precisely what the entire New Fabris plant will be become, warn the firm's 336 former employees, if their demands aren't met by July 31. Dozens of gas canisters have been strung around the factory in the central town of Châtellerault, and fears are rising that, with nothing to lose, the thwarted workers might actually explode them. "If we don't get what we're asking for, there will be nothing left of the factory for them to recover," say Guy Eyermann, a New Fabris staffer and delegate of the General Confederation of Labor union...
