After a cold open that not only insulted my intelligence, but also made me question what had happened to “The Office,” I was forced by my loyalty to the show to sit though one of the worst episodes the show has ever done.
There’s a new trend on the show where every season there is a new “worst episode of the series.” This trend started in season 6 (before that, the pilot was the clear winner of that title), and season 7 gave us two worst episodes (“Christening” and “The Inner Circle”).
