The Office running thread

I made it to the pregnancy, I guess, on that scale.

How does "Gabe" still have a place there? Is that actor one of the writers? Related to some network honcho? Gabe has his moments but he's wholly unnecessary. Lot of characters being neglected while he stays heavily involved.

And from the garden party to the trivia contest to some pool party in the upcoming episode, they sure seem to have run out of office-related storylines. Might as well change title to "Outside The Office."

 

Based on this, I went and watched the episode. It was horrible. The show is done.

 

They flirted for like two or three seasons and I think made out in the Season 3 finale.

 

End of Season 2, Casino Night episode.

 

They could always have Roy come back, storming the office, blowing away Jim and changing up the romantic dynamic.

 

That idea is so disastrous and insane that I would immediately watch it.

 

It is difficult to put into words how un-invested I am in Erin and Andy.

I am glad that they've toned Ryan down, though. People were very unhappy with me for disliking his character's transformation from self-aware straight man to uber-douche. The writers have clearly reined him in, though. Good for them. Nice to see a course correction.

 

I'm rooting for Erin-Andy hard.

 

They definitely fit, but I don't care that much.

 

Why?

What makes it interesting to you?

 

I think she's cute and quirky.

 

I've never believed that they have a ton of chemistry together, though.

Plus, they've dragged it out so long and the complications all seem contrived. We know how it ends. I've just seen this story so many times. Boy chases girl. Girl doesn't want boy. Boy moves on. Then girl likes boy, but it's TOO LATE!!!!

The beats are exactly the same as Jim and Pam. Exactly the same. And Ross and Rachel.
