Continuing thoughts on my first time through The Office and, as I've gotten to S4, it never ceases to amaze me how this show outdoes itself. And that's not a compliment. Now Ryan is an insufferable douchebag? Did the writers think making the good characters completely detestable was a good plan? (And did Karen get sent back to her home planet?) And, yet, this show has a charm in spite of itself. I've noticed that the point at which Dwight becomes actually somewhat fun is when he starts growing facial hair. He starts to morph from "This guy thinks the 2020 election is rigged" to "This guy thinks the 2020 election is rigged, but at least I chuckle sometimes when he talks."

ITV, not BBC. BBC sometimes have good shows but ITV had Downton Abbey which was good for about one season and then a bunch of total poo poo. That’s probably another good recommendation though

I would say Downton Abbey is worth watching until Dan Stevens leaves the show. Also I will admit I did enjoy the movie, and I will be watching the new one coming out this year. Trick pick get her to watch Peaky Blinders.

Late to the party but that Qanon Anonymous podcast about Jim Caviezel and his behaviour on PERSON OF INTEREST is nuts. It's also clear that he had...issues before the show started and I think working on it kind of pushed him off to the deep end because what better show for the conspiracy theory guy to work on.

What do you want out of sitcoms? I said last year Jim and Pam were the only reason I made it through the first season, and they still make the series for me; when I picked it back up, Ryan became a favorite. The minor characters (Kevin, Stanley, Creed, Toby, Jan, the warehouse staff) don't get a lot of screen time, but are fun. Combining all of them and their communal struggle against Michael's idiocy (which is occasionally sympathetic, as I'm seeing right now in Money), Dwight (who I'm coming around on in S4) and, later, Andy (who should just shut the gently caress up) has given the show enough of a charm to keep going in spite of the negative. That's still largely the case where I am now but, from where I sit, the show relies on the people above to be fun. Michael has his moments (buying Pam's painting when virtually everyone else panned her work and hanging it in the office was extremely  , most recently), but they're few and far between. Ryan's heel turn (shifting to narcissistic dickbag) ruins the character; it's like they wanted him to go on a revenge tour against Michael but, instead of finding hilarious ways to pants him (much in the way Jim/Pam do Dwight and, occasionally, Michael), they gave him stubble and made him constantly  ; effectively, he's Michael, but competent.TL;DR- Jim/Pam and the fun supporting characters outweigh the annoying ones and help create a charm to the show.

I have no idea if they are trying to recreate the Jim/Pam thing but it sucks rear end and every time they spend a significant amount of time on it it is absolute poison

Wilhelm E. Wonkazashi, III. I certainly look forward to this tremendous reimagining where the titular character comes to realize that I don’t know some kind of bullshit and who wants any of this and who even asked for it in the first loving place? And isn’t this nutsack already Paul Atreides?

Aardvark! posted:i'd rather have an oompa loompa origin story. particularly one where they finally get some justice in the end It will actually be a story about how the hero burned down their savage village and killed half of them to make the survivors more docile, so they could fit into civil society. It was a tough call to make, but that's the byrden of strong leadership. What I am saying is that he should be basically Leopold II.

CBJSprague24 posted:Now Ryan is an insufferable douchebag? Did the writers think making the good characters completely detestable was a good plan? (And did Karen get sent back to her home planet?) The development of Ryan is again due to them taking stuff from the UK Office - the original temp character he was based on was only in the first UK season, so later-season Ryans are based on a second character who shows up in the second season of the UK Office who is very different. For Karen, I think she left partially because she shifted over to Parks and Recreation (which was at first going to be a direct Office spinoff with Rashida Jones playing Karen). For Dwight, I have to say that I think it's funny that after 2016, people spent so much time trying to argue that Dwight would be anti-Trump, when... come on. The same with Ron Swanson, though I think his whole trajectory is also a case of how the P&R writers lost the will to commit to the original character idea.

Also shows why Ed Helms was a mistake in general. It is funny to hear how there were people in the writers' room who really wanted Pam and Jim to end up with Roy and Karen respectively, or to end the show with Pam and Jim getting divorced. You can tell they really ran out of ideas of what to do with them by the end of season 3 (incidentally, once they completed their character arc from the original Office).

It's weird seeing someone say that making Ryan a douchebag was a bad move as that was the only interesting thing about the character as he was a nothing before that.

Yeah smug douchebag Ryan is great and absolutely the best use of BJ Novak as an actor since that's pretty much his range. Especially (don't read this CBJSprague24) after his fall from grace and when he just turns into a walking disaster of bad ideas.

Like Ryan, Andy (Ed Helms) is only tolerable in very small doses. Which is why Rutherford Falls is dead in the water. I stopped watching The Office at the end of season 7 and Steve Carell left but it seems like it went off the rails with storylines. They had Pam almost cheat with a camera guy who fought a warehouse worker for her? What?. From some of their short scenes together, I would have liked to see more of Erin and Dwight. They had a good chemistry. Also, Dwight and the dental hygienist from Carbondale. The bumpkin who made love like one.

Michael would've definitely been Pro-Trump; not because he agreed with anything he said/did (and I doubt Michael would've even paid that much attention), but he would've discovered a sub-section of people who would "love" him as long as he wore the red hat.

Yeah, this was the most confusing part for me. Also from the perspective of someone who recently rewatched the entire series I have trouble relating to seeing Jim and Pam as the good characters given how annoying they get in later seasons.
