ah well if you're gonna include EVERYONE, then i guess Creed is my favorite Extra. everything he says or does is completely fucked up.
putting his name on the biggest gift at the wedding was crazy! |
I'd just like to say that I'm leaning towards wanting Jim to come to his senses and stay with the hotness that is Karen, and let this forbidden fruit Pam business blow over.

Personally, I like that Jim is with Karen right now... I think she adds another dimension to the JAM storyline, and it's interesting to see how she deals with JAM's history, but we all know it won't last... just like Pam and Roy didn't last in last season. |
Yeah, I hear you, and I know that I'm apparently in the minority. I don't think any of us can predict 20 years down the line; but I've found that those little friend crushes usually don't end up well romantically. If Karen is that hot for 10 years, that's a bargain ;) But she's also sharp, and she went balls out to take a shot with Jim. I think that speaks pretty well for her...and after a certain point, I think being happy with someone for 20 years is as much act of choice as it is any sort of "destiny."

Like Pigglet, I too believe that Jim should be focused on Karen. At least until Sweeps and finale time anyway. Of course he and Pam should get together in the end, but if imagine for a second that Jim was TFP member JAM2GETHER4EVER and posted in Tilted Sexuality about his Situation:
Quote:
If he were to post about his situation, I imagine most would tell him to take decisive action one way or another. Either ditch Pam and be true to his current girlfriend, or break Karen's heart and take his lumps. I lean towards the former. Pam sends mixed signals and the writers are slowly but surely revealing Karen's attractive attributes; singing at the wedding for example. The more we see of Karen's positive traits, the more Jim looks like a douche. I'd rather they make Jim aloof and focus on Pam's storyline as the forlorn outsider. I can't believe how much I just wrote about this. :rolleyes: |
I think you should change your avatar to reflect your fanboy love of the office.

Fresnelly - I'm so with you on everything but the "of course, they (Jim and Pam) should eventually get together. The only way that should happen is if they write me into the plot, and I take Rashida Jones off and do wonderful things with her, and her personality is similar to that of her character. While we're at it, she puts me on allowance which is always more than I can spend, all I do is play banjo and work out every day and use recreational drugs, and we sit around and laugh about that Jim guy - who was great and funny and is my favorite character - who ended up with Pam - also a great person - in a trailer park in scranton. rashida and i are living in the islands at this point.
i really like that idea. think she'd go for it? :) |
It could be worse.
Just the word: Quote:
Michael/Dwight is just too easy. |
bastid:
you must stop. i fell onto some sort of LOTR fan fic. I really don't know what kind of reaction I was supposed to have, so I just sat there and thought "this is the craziest shit ever." although, i think we could return to your hope for a Jim/Pam/Karen thing as being an ok place to start. |
The physical comedy in last nights episode I thought was brilliant. I was a little drunk by the time I got to watch it (had a few beers with the boys), but I was laughing my ass off. Jim showing vampiric symptoms was hillarious.
|
The stunts with the bat were unbelievable. I'm dying to watch the DVD commentary on this episode.
|
After the last two episodes, I really wish they'd pull Michael's seeming imbalance and idiocy back a little bit. His conduct a the wedding, seemingly with little consequence from the people around him, and the sheer stupidity he displayed in the talk for the class make me much less interested in his character.
I've been pondering the commentary on the small business vs. the national / international chain businesses, and what statement the writers are making about the management of the small business world. I'm curious if they're going to end the show with D-M closing its doors, and if that closing will be attributed to crazy managerial styles like Michael? Do we want a less efficient, but more personal world or not? These types of things. |
I don't know, I think Michael's best moments are when he's thwarted or offended in some way, and momentarily recognizes himself as absurd. At the wedding, he never had that moment of self-reflection, and just kept getting bigger and weirder. At Business School, he did, and he reacted to it as only Michael could. I find Michael much funnier when he's doing what he did at the end of his "lecture"... stomping up the steps yelling "Suck on THAT!"
|
Micheal: "i'm not gonna fire you, you're moving in the Anix"
Ryan: "the Anix? you mean where Kelly is?" hahaha!! I loved this episode!!! but now that she knows that everyone thinks her art is mediocre, maybe she'll think Roy's comments are fake as hell. |

i am gonna have to stay outta this thread till I get caught up - watched Season 1 on Monday and Disc 1 of season 2 today.. sounds like its worth the catch up!
|
I can't believe no one has mentioned the end of the episode with Michael and Pam!!! That was one of the best/most emotional moments in Office history. The writers of this show really know how to make Michael absurd up until the point where it's ridiculous and then bring him back down to a humanistic level where he is actually capable of human interaction. He made Pam's night and was the kindest person who went to the art show. On top of that, his interest in her art was genuine, showing again his personality and emotional elements.
Michael throwing the candy bars at the students had me laughing out loud, but the very best part of the episode was the end with Michael and Pam. |
I liked the episode a lot. The lecture was classic. Ryan's build up before the lecture was a great touch.
Pam's art show was frustrating, though, for a few reasons. First off, Jim didn't show up. We know that a) Pam wished Jim was there, and b) Jim probably really wanted to go, and had to force himself not to. We were all waiting for him to show up, right? And then..... it's Michael instead. :grumpy: Michael might have been supportive, but he's an idiot, which helps explain why he liked her crappy art. Which brings me to my next point... I was really sad to see that Pam's art did, indeed, suck. I've been assuming that she's this incredibly talented artist, and she's just under appreciated. I was hoping this would be the time where Jim comes through as the only one to see the beauty in it. But, he wasn't there, and the art was crappy anyway. I wanted this to be Pam's moment of secret glory, or something. Instead, we just see that's she's as lonely as ever. But the best part was, by far, Jim's vampiric transformation. Ha, when he peered back over his raised collar, looking like Nosferatu, I was dying. Dwight's comment of "One crisis at a time" was perfect Dwight. And Jim having the foresight to cover himself from the light as he's walking across the parking lot was fantastic. |

I love the way that Jim is always screwing with Dwight! Pure comedy.

got to nbc.com and watch the deleted scenes to see why Jim didn't go to the art show

For some reason I cannot view the deleted scenes since they changed the format of that page... so can someone give me a rundown as to why Jim didn't go? That's rundown, not to be confused with a rubdown.
Thanks... |
oh and BTW, this is important. since RYAN is moving in the back, JIM will get his desk back! meaning that HE will be facing PAM and seeing her with roy all the fucking time. how sickening is that eh? and then Karren will see him looking at pam all the time. oh man. crazy! and with Andy comming back soon, this should be interesting!

right, that was basically it. they hinted that Karen was going to go out of her way to make sure Jim didn't know about the show
|
Quote:
Creed: Sure. Dwight: To use sudden violence... Creed: Okay. Dwight: Do you have an implement to turn a broom handle into a wooden stake? Creed (sliding his desk drawer open): What size? |
Tomorrow night is Cocktails, and one of the storylines involves Michael and Jan outting their relationship, which will undoubtedly bring about some very awkward moments.
The last three shows have been pretty Michael-heavy. Some people like that, and others don't. To each their own. I think that the sweeps eps will most likely be pretty JAM heavy, and I really like that. |

Holy shit... best. episode. ever. I could not stop laughing... Michael's Delorean comment sent me over the edge. It was a perfect balance of progressing the storylines while throwing in those outrageous comedic moments.
|
Wow. RAM didn't last very long. The temper tantrum Roy and his brother threw did a great job of conveying why he is all wrong for Pam. Will be fun to see what happens between Roy and Jim.
|
Roy: "I'm gonna kill Jim Halpert"
wow. what a crazy episode! and they finally explain why Andy is missing. Karren: "and one is in anger management" |
Loved it!
Karen's prank was fantastic. It takes a lot to fool Halpert, and she played it out perfectly. |
JJ Abrams (of Alias and Lost fame) directed this episode, so to have that cliffhanger seemed really appropriate.
I thought it was a really well done episode. Michael was awkward, yet subdued, Dwight was out and out hilarious. I thought the JAM progress was great, and I'm glad that the RAM seems to be done for now. But I mean, we thought Jim and Karen were done after Jim admitted he still had feelings for Pam. And they weren't. So who knows what could happen. At least 4 weeks till the next new Office. It is going to be a long, long drought of Officelessness. |
what? what is this crap of 4 weeks til the next new episode? they can't do this, whoever they are.
you bastards!!! |
I seriously lost it laughing so hard when watching this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlN2EoPBFE0 Stick around, it gets funny after the first 30 seconds or so oh man........ |
I saw this on Saturday as well, was a great, great opening monologue/sketch.
|
ok, so one of our newer members started a little office thread, and claimed that the new eps start 4/5. is this true? last i read, it was 4/12. i have in my palm pilot and everything. do i get satisfaction a week early?
|
I'm hearing April 5th, and it going to be 40 minutes long too!!!
|
yep.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=W-5sB6WtFe4 here is the video. but i think they give a HUGE spoiler in the extra 4seconds. look for yourself. as far as it goes, i can't wait for it to come back and see the stories with andy comming back. or if mike is still with jan. |
April 5 is the date. It's to be called "The Negotiation". Tomorrow is an Office Marathon hosted by Paul Lieberstein, who play's Toby.
I cannot wait for the new Office. It's been a long, long hiatus. Really looking forward to it. |
