argh why does this have to be an hour long

There's a lot of situations that need to be addressed!!

I just hope they don't turn Ryan into Neil from the British series.

Did someone say... Dunder Mifflin Infinity?

Coolest shirt ever.

Even if it doesn't look at all like the Schrutebuck used in the episode, still, COOLEST! SHIRT! EVER!

if you are a huge nerd

the cuet girl I saw was wearing this

he was like draped all over her?

i think he was like date-raping her

"I thought she had more time!"

"Nope."

"I'm not superstitious, but I...I am a little stitious."

HA! All of the french fry bags in Angela's freezer were clawed apart.

carrell is single-handedly carrying this episode.

"It's ok, I'm robbing her"

Where's the tension now that Pam and Jim are dating? Plus this ep is not v funny.

it's a drama now

A+ performances from michael/angela/andy/dwight.

everyone else has been meh.

i like the idea of jim and pam being together.

a. it had to happen eventually, or else it would have been contrived. b. if any show can pull it off it's this show.

pam/dwight relationship, michael/jan relationship and ryan/kelly relationship were all done exceptionally well, imo.

Creed's 82.

Also, he's been both a cult member and cult leader.

I believe all of this is true because I don't think Creed lies.

Bleeding nipples.

That was a great episode. Hopefully the secrecy of Jim and Pam's new relationship (and maybe an appearance from Karen?) will maintain some of the tension of that situation.

Also it would have turned into this which would have been zzzzzzzzzzzzz...

"The doctors tried to save her. They did the best they could.......... And it looks like she is going to be OK."

"Very cool you went back and got your degree."

the Jim-Pam thing is weak and getting worse.

Here's to hoping that Andy swoops in on Angela.

Creed on cult membership was the best: "been both a follower and a leader, had more fun as a follower but made more money as a leader".

This was slow and way too many of the jokes felt like JOKES. Like "oh, uh, we haven't had anything funny for Andy to say for 10 minutes, quick, what's something funny for Andy to say??"

This show should not be an hour long.

Why/how did Jim break up with Karen again?

the jim/karen breakup and subsequent pam hookup was reallly fumbled.

this didn't really feel like one hour long episode though, just two half hour episodes back to back.

Why/how did Jim break up with Karen again?

Hah, judging from the season 3 finale he drove back to Scranton after his interview and ditched her in NYC.

Rashida Jones did a pilot for another network and it got picked up (for maybe midseason) which I think is the main reason they "broke up"

uh...

Brief Interviews with Hideous Men (2007) (post-production) .... Hannah

Would've been a much better 30 minute episode.

And I don't care how much in love you are with someone, "Ooh, an estate sale! Want to go in?" would never escape a man's lips.

Yeah, it all seemed kind of random. There didn't really seem to be anything leading up to it, although they could have used the interview storyline to bring out a psycho competitive streak in Karen or something.

And I don't care how much in love you are with someone, "Ooh, an estate sale! Want to go in?" would never escape a man's lips.

Then I am no man at all.

I kind of like how when they go out and about in "Scranton" it sure looks an awful lot like LA.

why not?

xp

Oh, good grief. I forgot I was on ILX.

would you go to an estate sale, pp? why? why not?

Better than working.

Maybe they have some good records.

Plus it's always fun to wander around in someone else's house and make fun of their stuff.

oh, god! you guys, that shit is haunted!

i'd rather look at old shit than exercise at some stupid work event.

yes I think that was the point.

"If you don't know why that's awesome, you need awesome lessons."

(Trust me, it's a lot funnier than it sounds.)

you should get a tv (for shows)

hey einstein

sorry max, I'll try to stalk you better in the future

max doesn't have a tv? next he'll tell us he only has a cell phone and not a land line!

now now buddy, I do this, but I bought a TV so I wouldn't have to wine on the internetz about not being able to watch TV SHOWS as they air

this is all pretty hilarious but unless i can build a "slingbox" which i assume is like a flux capacitor i still cant watch this live tonight and if matt is right im going to jail

also i think jeff threatened to kill me

on the bright side: they have TV in jail : )

ya well unless i can get to jail by 8:30 eastern im shit out of luck ;-)

and it'll be harder for me to stalk you, so there's that concern erased too

I'll liveblog it for you maxster, but only because you share a name with my dog

im going to make slocki call me and tell me everything thats happening on the screen while it happens

http://www.earlytelevision.org/images/r&tv_10-390006.jpg

good idea.. you should find some videophones!

max im gonna be out but i can leave my tv on and point my macbook's isight at it. you can watch it over skype.

http://www.slingmedia.com/

max go to craigslist and buy some shitty 13" tv for $20 already

u dont even know my situation fool

tv

yeah, you don't know me

sweeet episode.

fuck putting toby in a halo

tho i dont think i really worked through 9/11

What was up with Meredith's face in that one scene?

I was kinda wondering that too.

What was that scene with Jim closing the door and saying something about Pam's art? I missed that.

He distracted the cameraman so he could bang her ha ha

jan's bit about the candlelight vigil isnt as funny now as it seemed at the time for some reason

poor poor toby. at least Ryan is off the drugs and he might write himself to be a likable character again.

Jim's sopping wet clothes probably cost them the vacation days. As usual, Stanley is the most sensible person on the show.

i fell asleep 10 minutes before the end :(

aw, you missed the cutest part

hehe http://www.angelaandy.com/

lol

"buttoned up bliss"

also : ""I have a nice comforter and several cozy pillows. I usually read a chapter of a book, and it's lights out by 8:30. That's how I sleep at night.""

was a nice LOL

I hope we see more of Black Panther Stanley.

Also Angela (the character) is totally pregnant.

i got the preggo vibe too. UHOH

"...at least Ryan is off the drugs and he might write himself to be a likable character again."

Keeping a list of everyone that wrongs him so he can get revenge later = probably not gonna happen.

The Ryan/Kelly thing is going to continue to entertain this year, I can tell.

What's been making you guys think she's pregnant? The actress herself WAS pregnant if there was perceived weight gain.. but they shot around her stomach last season.

That's why I specified Angela the character, because I know Angela Kinsey just had a baby. Anyway, thought the character looked very uncomfortable at the weigh-ins. Just a vibe, really.

Oooh, right, that could be a good reason for everyone losing weight and yet them not going down much en masse.. this may be unrelated but Angela (the character) also did say "My doctor wants me to weigh more"

Yeah, I thought that was telling.

Also, Michael came sooooo close to doing the right thing (buying the concert tickets and then turning around and asking her if she'd like to go with him), but he tore them up! I love that they absolutely REFUSE to redeem his character more than twice a season.

btw, do we need a Season 5 thread?

The expression on her face when he tore them up, too!

Another superlolworthy moment: "DON'T CALL HIM STUPID! HE IS TRYING AS HARD AS HE CAN WITH HIS MENTAL DISABILITY!"

Sounds like a good idea.. no one uses my Top Model thread so I'm a little post-shy, haha.

The ripping tickets thing, oh man. After that rap they did!

The Office (US) — Season 5 thread

reading this thread is hilarious ... everyone just leaping @ the chance to say the show jumped the shark, episode after ep

Oh nobody ever gives this show a chance. Look at the original thread for the show. It goes from "How DARE they Americanize the British office!" for about 200 posts, then it's like "See? I told you! That pilot episode was terrible!" to "Hmmm.... that Diversity episode wasn't too bad." to "BAHAHAHA!! Anal fissures!!" to "Wait a minute... this show is freaking amazing!!"

aside from the hour long eps being too long (but not necessarily awful) s4 was pretty great
