This episode marks the point where the series goes from very good to unwatchable. From this episode on nothing lands, the characters lose all their personalities and traits, all that remains is some sort of charicature of their former selves. I don't know what happened, since I thought the series was a solid 8 until this very episode. Perhaps Steve Carell's body was still there, but his soul was long gone. This episode traumatized me. I thought that if I kept watching things would get better, but no. It doesn't get any better in the later episodes, seasons...
