Creed, I love you.

Your Mom is not “cringe-worthy” ;-)
my mommy can’t watch the show either because of michael, i keep trying to convince her of how sweet and loveable he can sometimes be and how awesome the jam moments are, but she just can’t do it.
and did anyone happen to catch dwight climbing on the banester behind jim and karen, must likely checking for the sound lumber support.
I agree with nancy that this season has a differemt tone, but I too believe it’s a lot more richer. I feel I’m getting a lot out of episodes. There is the hilarity and this other rich factor that makes the episode fuller and more complete. I don’t know exactly what it is, but I have been enjoying the majority of this season so far.
As for the clips for tomorrow’s new episode. I only saw the second tvaddict one. OMGOSH, the Creed part was hilarious. So Creed, I love it.
Definitely wont be watching them this time. These thing’s have ruined the office for me the past 3 weeks. I know, I know, no one forced me to watch them.
Michael, your infinate wisdom never ceases to amaza me….
yeah so i made a promise to myself that i wasn’t going to watch any more spoiler clips and that lasted, oh about a good week. i definetly watched all five clips. i loved how jim put his foot over michael’s brass key and then michael sat at his desk and asked for the camera people to keep a watch out for a lost key. also is it just my wishful thinking or did anyone else think that this might be the last episode with ram together? they seemed to be very much together at the bar, but when roy said that he could read pam like a book, she realized that he couldn’t and that he didn’t know her as well as jim did. hopefully she’ll realize that she has to step up…also i’m really curious what happened between karen and her ex. she said it didn’t end well, i wonder why…okay…i’m done with all the romantic speculation! i love that dwight wanted to check the CFO’s house for unsoundness…so funny. also creed’s line about the fake id business was completely classic.
Yahoo did post previews. But, they are the same as the ones that we already have.
Kate’s TV Guide blog is up…
speaking of blades of glory, apparently there’s a scene with Jenna wearing very little amounts of clothes. score.
wait, that last preview…number 5…was their actually any preview in that?
I really hope that Yahoo doesn’t post three previews. That will be way way way too much.
Speaking of previews, did anyone see the trailer for Blades of Glory? Jenna is in it for, literally, about a tenth of a second. You have to put it in slow motion to see her (back left, in some kind of hearing/courtroom setting).
Okay…I looked through all of the episodes Paul wrote, for some ‘common denominators’ as it relates to how he handles JAM. I’m not sure if any of it is relevant, since the dynamics and circumstances have obviously changed a lot lately, but whatever. Here’s what has happened in his episodes:
-Health Care: Hilarious. And a lot of JAM interaction, although nothing significant really happened.
-The Client: JAM had their first ‘date’, or whatever it is you want to call it. They had a lot of really significant moments, but it ended up sort of depressing, as she immediately shut down his comments on how he viewed that night.
-The Carpet: The better part of this is really negative for JAM, with all the Roy/Pam interaction, but in the end, no matter how much her and Roy were flirting, it was obvious Jim was on her mind all day, hence the many voicemails at the end of the day.
-Dwight’s Speech: A major downer for JAM, but still really important. Pam gets a little wake up call that Jim may be in love with her, otherwise why would he plan his vacation when he did? She had to have at least considered that thought at some point.
-The Coup: Fancy New Beesley starts to emerge a bit with the new clothes. Karen and Jim get closer through Call of Duty.
Okay. That’s it. They’re really kind of inconsistent, I think. So maybe that was a waste of 20 minutes. Haha.
yahoo has put its usual clips up, though we’ve seen them all already.
There is a lot of talk about the increased drama of the show, and how different it is from previous seasons. I’d like to offer something. We know for a fact that this show and the fan following has a lot to do with the internet. I really am starting to believe that a lot of the drama and tension is not inherently imbedded in the show, it’s because of the anticipation built up, the speculation, the deleted scenes and promos and subsequent discussion of those things that causes this. I don’t think a lot of those things would be present if we simply watched the show from week to week and just enjoyed it rather than guessing what’s going to happen, reacting according to what does happen.
I’m not saying that it shouldn’t be talked about, but I think it changes our expectations of the show. For example: There was so much reaction after Phyliss’ wedding that I was actually surprised with the way things turned out with Pam. I’m not sure I’d be as surprised if I had not discussed, read, and speculated on whether she would or wouldn’t. I have loved just about every episode, all seasons, and yes, they are all different, but that’s the way it goes with all shows. Check out the first season of any show that been on for a while. Sometimes it’s so different it’s strange.
BTW, everyone knows that the first episode was a carbon copy for a reason, right? It was done with the original creators of the show. I’m a bit tired of suggestions that the US version is a “rip-off.” It really was not.
hey guys here’s a preview of next episode I think where Michael performs a magic escape act…it’s a link from Youtube.

Oh, and it was painful. My mom can’t watch Michael’s scenes because she feels embarrassed for him. I think I’m immune.
NBC put out a third deleted scene on their website for Business School.
The show is different, and still funny, but there’s too much soap opera! Now that the characters are solid you can play with them, but not quite this much. Some episodes don’t even have to be set in an office anymore!
