didnt like the end. fight seemed forced and out of character. also no boom op would ever tell a producer to cut the cameras. not if he likes his job

It does sound like Paige, but on closed caption instead of Paige it has "Hey,...."

1/25/2013 6:39:59 PM

dwight starting a fire in the office? keep rolling...

petty marital squabble? hold up guys, drop everything!

1/25/2013 6:56:20 PM

i thought the fight was spot on. outside forces cause things that shouldn't be a big deal to blow up between couples all the time.

1/26/2013 5:17:05 PM

was more like the bbc office, but annoying

I fast forwarded to that part. @ 20:45 min in he does says something like "page, it's just a tough situation, alright"

but after listening again you hear "hey, it's just a tough situation, alright"

at first, after I read your post, I thought it did say page, but alas, it's just hey.

1/27/2013 9:49:39 AM

^ Thanks. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't going crazy or missed something.

1/27/2013 12:00:43 PM

The argument seemed entirely believable to me. In fact, I've had similar squabbles about work that shouldn't have gotten that big but did. I've even gotten snarky, saying that "must be doing this all for myself then".

1/28/2013 10:37:14 AM

^ it was believable how it started and then snowballed, but I guess (to me) Pam crying, while realistic/plausible, was unnecessary and a bummer (only bc I look at this show as purely a comedy, I do not value it for it's 'drama', also I hate drama), so I kind of hate that was how things were left at the end.

And then of all the moments for a camera crew member to intervene this was the moment chosen?? after a weak argument that Pam overreacted with her crocidile tears to? meh

but that is only my perspective, maybe it felt less forced to other people.

1/28/2013 9:14:11 PM

Maybe Pam is preggers again? Gettin' all emotional and stuff.

1/28/2013 9:22:50 PM

All about perspective. I don't think Jim overreacted. He just lost a big time client. Imagine losing a "million dollar" client that was going to be the lifeblood of a new company. Bad news like that would leave anybody on edge. Same with Pam. Granted, she really didn't voice her concerns about Jim leaving like she should have, but I imagine that they're the type of couple that don't really get into arguments, so when it happens, it's rare enough to them that it's really upsetting.

1/28/2013 11:27:51 PM

^bingo.

But she needs to get over it. And who the hell would want to live in Scranton anyway?

1/28/2013 11:58:39 PM

philly is an awesome city to live in

i agree. imagine if that garbage happened in season 1 or 2.

1/29/2013 9:23:10 AM

There have been plenty of emotional moments, especially with Jim and Pam throughout the entire series. I thought it was a good scene and continues the address the fact that yes, the show has actually been for a documentary and the characters are clearly aware of them. I liked the first episode talking to the camera people and I liked this episode introducing one of them as someone friends with Pam.

And I thought Pam getting that upset was perfectly fine, it definitely fit in with the argument.

1/29/2013 9:43:29 AM

Can we talk about Erin, please?

1/29/2013 5:41:08 PM

1/29/2013 6:40:05 PM

The cameraman's reaction to Pam's tears suggested to me that things have been especially challenging, and he's witnessed more of it than we have.

1/30/2013 1:06:46 AM

Considering at this point they have known each other for what like 7 years? I'm sure the crew is pretty close with the staff.

1/30/2013 7:14:44 PM

really close.

1/31/2013 9:33:40 PM

it's annoying me as well

Is this directed at me? If so, I don't think you understood my post.

1/31/2013 10:14:29 PM

what happened at the end? my cable blacked out or something right as boom mic was talking to pam

1/31/2013 10:20:16 PM

eric wareheim!

1/31/2013 10:29:12 PM

i swear if they split up jim and pam i'll never forgive them. yea, jim is being a douche bad, but he'll snap out of it.

Pam, Brian & Jim....PB&J

2/1/2013 2:22:49 AM

Ugh. Too much forced relationship drama. I guess their TM is the women folk. I think I'm done until the finale.

i was liking the season until they went into drama-city

2/1/2013 10:27:24 AM

^exactly, stick to what made everyone like the shopw in the first place.... "low-level" comedy

2/1/2013 1:27:51 PM

so those above-average episodes from a few months ago were clearly a mirage, because this show is back to sucking

they are forcing this Pam-Boom Mic guy deal way too fucking hard

2/8/2013 4:01:00 PM

yea, do not like the direction they've taken it in.

2/8/2013 4:19:55 PM

Andy Greenwald calling this the Poochie-fication of the Office is fucking perfect

2/8/2013 4:22:16 PM

had to look that up: http://www.grantland.com/blog/hollywood-prospectus/post/_/id/67762/the-office-keeps-trying-to-shove-an-emotional-poochie-between-jim-and-pam

but spot fucking on. it is so damned tacked on. they could've introduced drama into their marriage without pulling a character who has supposedly been there the entire time out of thin air.

2/8/2013 4:29:40 PM

No scene before the opening credits

2/8/2013 4:46:04 PM

Cold Open, ffr

2/8/2013 4:47:59 PM

Andy Greenwald is for the most part insufferable these days, but I do agree with that


also, i think i'm starting to hate Ed Helms completely

2/8/2013 4:56:46 PM

Most frustrating TV episode I've ever watched.

Absolute waste of my time, all around.

2/8/2013 8:57:34 PM

If Andy would disappear I could maybe tolerate this a little better

2/14/2013 10:43:11 PM

i enjoyed how gabe's desk was the couch

2/14/2013 11:07:38 PM

that was probably the worst episode in the history of The Office

man...

2/16/2013 12:35:12 AM

Yep, it was bad. Hour long episodes tend to suck anyway but that was pretty brutal.

2/16/2013 8:15:28 AM

Definitely not as bad as last week's episode.

But this season peaked in Andy's absence, etc etc rabble rabble "andy sucks" etc




RIP MICHAEL SCOTT

2/17/2013 3:01:42 PM

So this show looks like its going to end with Jim and Pam getting divorced. That is just a shitty way to end a show.

who the hell wants to stay married to someone that isn't willing to leave Scranton PA??? Jesus Christ.


And I really hope that someone kicks Andy's ass in the next episode or two. I'm failing to see why anyone is putting up with his bullshit. At the least I would just ignore him.

2/18/2013 8:58:21 AM

that guy from breaking bad was awesome!

the bit at the end with Oscar seemed a bit out of character.... but I thought the little ad for An American Office seemed interesting. Was that what he was watching or was it just an ad?

Andy is sooooooooooooooooo annoying.

I feel bad for Pam but she could definitely be working harder at looking for a job in Phila

More Kevin and less Andy.
