The Office. 0405
-In Bullet Point! With extra delayed discussion. That’s delayed discussion that is extra, not discussion that is ‘extra delayed’, so to speak. Although, since the episode came out 5 five days ago it could also be considered the latter.
-That was really short eh (that’s what she said!)? 21 minutes felt went by so quick after being treated to all those 42 minute episodes. I didn’t actually like it much the first time, but it grew on me on the second (third…) viewings. Michael’s treatment of Ryan continues to be wonderful. To draw on a long dead metaphor, it kind of mirrors the whole GOB thinking he is boss of Michael in Arrested Development. Okay, well not really, but I just needed to squeeze it in, so to speak.
-This episode in particular hastened the theme of Jim being unhappy with what he’s doing. The whole Second Life Avatar scenario really spelt it out for the dumber audience viewers, such as myself. Along with Michaels breakdown (which was still kind of present in this episode) I hope they’ll become themes for the season.
-The Dunder Mifflin crew are a very creative bunch. Michaels ad was perfectly written to reflect him, and was fucking hilarious. I think it may have been the first time this season that I actually laughed out loud (or LOL, for 2002 devotees) at the sheer insanity of it.
-Darryl is a musical genius, of that there is no denying. But really, why no ‘Needs More Cowbell’ reference? Michael (and Kevin) love that SNL, and the song creation would have been the perfect time to slip it in, so to speak.
-The less said about Pam’s bed head, the better. Why? Because the mere mentioning of it is likely make me write like I’m Noam Chomsky and said hair is Any Socialist Countries Anything (i.e: Whilst the subject matter is incredibly interesting to ourselves, nobody else cares, and the fact that we can’t shut up is a little disconcerting)
-From what I’ve heard about user levels, Dwight and Philly Jim may just be only two people actually playing Second Life…
-Speaking of Mr Scrute, I hope that the ‘Oohh D’ has pulled him out of his depression, but I can’t wait to see how
Goddamnit, the postman had better deliver my Veronica Mars Season Three DVD tomorrow, or I will be ever so sad.
Now that’s done, let us open the floor to this:
Aside from pointing out that implying Gray’s Anatomy created the spin off of is like saying that Radiohead invented the downloadable CD, the article raises many questions: Why couldn’t they find a more recent press photo? Why can’t I have contacts, and will I ever get any? Why I am so interested in watching Everybody Love Raymond at 1am?
These questions, while interesting, are mainly my roundabout way of actually discussing that the article is about, and that my friends, results in a mixture of bemusement and intrigue. I think it would be fascinating to see how
At least for myself, the involvement of Greg Daniels will dictate how interested I am in the supposed spinoff. Not only has he done a lot for the Office, but he has also written some of the best episodes of the Simpsons, and of course there’s the whole King Of The Hill thing.
Also, why have I talked so much about so much about something that will probably never happen? I feel like I’m Al Gore (ZING!)
