Mara Jade Skywalker Posted November 16, 2007 Author Share Posted November 16, 2007 I agree, Dwight has had some of the funniest moments in the last few episodes, once he got over Angela. Him taking the weapons out of their hiding places was classic. "Mr. A. Knife." And the sword. LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.CAllen Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 I liked how Dwight had a whole serial killer fantasy all mapped out. In the deleted scenes from that week Michael even refers to him as "Dexter". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NumberSix Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 Dwight doing the names of his ping-pong heroes also cracked me up. I'm easy. Funny sounds is all it really takes to get me. I've struggled to resist the temptation to Google "ping pong champions" just to verify whether or not Dwight's list was real. I'm afraid of the truth.

Jedi Cool Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 I really thought that was a great Michael moment when he realized that Jan would do anything to win this lawsuit, even betray him. It reminded me of how Jim, in the episode where the branches merged, reacted to Josh's defection with, "Say what you want, but Michael Scott would never do that." And his reaction to seeing Toby down at Corporate, not wanting his help and Toby reacting to the diary entry (wanting a copy, etc). What I really think they may have missed is that Jan's performance evaluation of Michael actually helps her case. Part of her dismissal was the result of her superior's belief that her job performance was slipping, that she spent more time in Scranton than in New York. Further, it appears that her relationship with Michael was brought into question. One would expect that her evaluation of Michael would suddenly take a positive turn which would have been suspicious and shown a lack of objectivity. That she continued to objectively rate Michael's job performance and point out - as has been on this thread - that Michael is better suited to sales than management demonstrates that she still had an eye for the company's benefit. Unfortunately, that line of thinking never developed. You have to love the line in her evaluation though, "I am out of sticks. I'm out of carrots".

R5-VAN DAMM Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Although Michael really needs to get over his Toby hatred. That cafeteria scene was almost too mean-spirited to be funny. Almost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mara Jade Skywalker Posted November 19, 2007 Author Share Posted November 19, 2007 Yeah, but the way Michael pushed the tray off the table was inspired. He didn't even look in Toby's direction. Oh yeah; I am sad for no new Office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedi Jami Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Man, I feel empty. Is this really happening? What's really sad is that on Jenna Fischer's myspace blog she said they were filming an episode that was the funniest ever involving Jim and Pam at Michael's house. *sigh* Oh, I love Jan! Something like, people underestimate Michael but there are many things he's great at, like... ice skating... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Ray Kenobi Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 I picked up Season 2 at Target on Black Friday for ten bucks not too long ago. After going through it and also watching some torrents of the newer episodes, I've come to a realization. I don't like Andy. I like Ed Helms, but I just don't like his character. He's sort of like Klinger in M*A*S*H. He's funny when he's just a bit player early on, but later when he's a regular he starts to get annoying. It's quite possible that his character is written that way, but when I cringe when he's getting a segment mostly to himself, maybe its going a little too far.

Mara Jade Skywalker Posted December 6, 2007 Author Share Posted December 6, 2007 I like Andy. I loved the scene when he sang "Take a Chance of Me." TBS shows reruns on Tuesday nights, and this week was the episode when Dwight found the joint. I LOVE that episode. "This is not Kelly Kapur story hour!"

D-Ray Kenobi Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 He's funny, but the way he is written just seems like its out of another show completely. It just always feels out of place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sephi Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 That's completely intentional (at least I see it as that way), as he was from a competing branch of Dunder-Mifflin and who obviously likes to be top-dog. He gets much better and more likeable later in Season 3 and 4, but he's still "that crazy guy from Stamford". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Human Torch Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 The Office is scheduled for a return on April 10th, although only one episode is confirmed at this time. Check your local listings if you don't want to miss the Gun Show. Source = The Associated Press Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Ray Kenobi Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Really? I read somewhere, can't remember where, that there should be six new episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Human Torch Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 From Scrubs / Season 7 Wiki and IMDB are usually really spot on when it comes to episodes in the can. They only had one episode listed as possible when I wrote this. Sure both wiki and imdb are user updated, but again the track record is pretty good when it comes to available episodes and release dates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mara Jade Skywalker Posted February 16, 2008 Author Share Posted February 16, 2008 Oh yay new Office! I watch the reruns on TBS and one of this week's episodes was the one with the bat. There are so many good Dwight quotes from that episode. "Before I do something, I ask myself, would an idiot do this? If the answer is yes, I do not do that thing."

NumberSix Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 We sat through that same rerun! Love that episode. ("...and it wouldn't have been possible without PAPER...unless you had a camera.") I had a weird Office moment this week, but related only to the BBC version. Local radio station WTTS-FM this week is doing their annual "Rock A to Z" fest where they spend a couple weeks daily from 6 a.m.-8.pm just playing rock songs in pure alphabetical order. In addition to the same old tired rock songs, they toss in tons of choice album tracks. Last night on the way home -- just beginning the letter H -- they played the original "Handbags and Gladrags", not the version heard over the end credits. I didn't know it was a real, preexisting song, let alone that it was originally performed by Rod Stewart back in 1970. That was weird to hear. Well, I was fascinated, at least.

Defcon Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 New Office = teh secks! Definitely looking forward to that, even if it is just one new episode. Hopefully even though only one has bee announced that they can get a few more in the can for then. Only one would be such a tease Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Copper Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 is it April 10th yet. Also, I just caught up with season 4 online. I am now officially on board with the 'watch it while it happens' crowd! SCORE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tank Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 How do you all feel about the Office 2 spinoff series? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NumberSix Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Your post was the first I'd heard about it. I refuse to form an opinion until NBC announces something more substantial than just, "We plan to make it so," but so far I see nothing else online. We can, of course, assume the following: * It will be set in an office* At least one character will wear a tie* We will be flooded with promos for months* There will be crossovers Safe bets, but not guarantees: * The creators will stretch themselves too thin, and at least one of the shows will suffer for it* A cast member will move from the original to the spinoff permanently, and that will sadden me* The spinoff will air in the timeslot immediately after the original , then be moved to a dead zone where only half of us dare follow it Long shots: * The spinoff will outperform the original in the ratings* If the spinoff succeeds, Greg Daniels will see to it that NBC's schedule is littered with dozens of spinoffs like The Office: Stanford, The Office: Utica, The Office: Hummelstown, The Office: Special Inkjet Unit, The Office: Home Edition, and The Office XXVII: the Colbys.* The ratings will plummet so hard, Ryan and Kelly will reunite and marry during sweeps* Last-ditch controversy plea: Michael Scott announces he's gay as a French horn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tank Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 * A cast member will move from the original to the spinoff permanently, and that will sadden me I read somewhere, but of course can't find it now, that Andy would be that person. he works so well as Dwight's foil though I don't see him driving a show on his own. if anyone wants to see a sneak peek of tonight's episode, there's a clip on the nightly news site: http://www.nightly.net/television/the-office-returns/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
