He was hilarious at the end of last season; more hit and miss this season.
I believe Lieberstein's narrative on this - they were a little nervous
about how the show would transition, and wanted Spader to hedge their bets.
Andy as boss is mostly Michael-lite, and does not really make sense in the
context of the back story of the characters, but it does allow the show to
maintain its basic dynamic, while highlighting the still-delightful
supporting cast.

I guess they have been laying the foundation for the Dwight spin-off the
last few episodes, but it is hard to tell which of the other cast members
they are going to send over - I assume not everyone who went down to
Orlando.
