  1. Oscar got 3 months paid vacation IIRC.

    Loved the episode, and echo all the stuff above. I liked Andy talking about 'personality mirroring' before he entered the office, when he clearly already had so much in common with Michael. I'm not a Jim fan in particular, but the storyline might be interesting. Pam and Karen are both great, so whatever happens it should be interesting. I hope the influx of new characters doesn't take anything away from the star of the show, Dwight.

  2. So many things that I agree with in this thread that I don't have much to add, but...

    Games with large online communities that are expected to act as testers for the game. Now, I love FM, but the latest iteration has gone absolutely too far with the pervasion of bugs. If the game had a smaller market, a game released in the same state as FM would be panned. From the stupidly obvious bugs (Rooney's international ban) to frequent fatal exceptions, across-the-board player history corruptions, a completely flawed new player generation system, a match engine which allows a ball to stop and change direction in mid-air, and players that stand still for 30-40 seconds at a time, to incredibly poor grammar and spelling in the new media messages - FM07 is a mess. I'm sure the fact that I play the game obsessively contributes to the fact that I get pissed off when something crops up that throws my invested time out the window.

    Yes, this wall all prompted by my 5-season game having the player histories corrupted. Grrrr.

  3. When I first watched a random episode on the BBC late at night, I just didn't get into it at all. Then I watched the first episode and just couldn't stop. Now it is DEFINITELY the best comedy series ever, for me.

    I also can't stand Everybody Loves Raymond. My sister was obsessed with it and it almost drove me to suicide :( I can't think of any sitcom-style comedy that I actually enjoy. Friends was redeemed only by its good characters. I hate Frasier with a passion, and Curb Your Enthusiasm likewise, for the overflow of astonishingly unperceptive characters. I love The Office, the British version. The American version is good too, but it's also tarred by 'improbably stupid characters in a realistic environment' factor.

  4. Instinctively I suspect that Jacob's eye-patch man, but I also like the possibility that there's another spy in the Losties camp. We haven't had flashbacks for Paolo yet, but if it's him that's just horribly crude writing. If a more-established character was revealed to be a complete liar, that would be awesome. I'm hoping there's a significant escalation in the conflict between the beach Losties and the Others before we finally find out the latter's agenda, so this could certainly play into that idea.

  5. I just didn't care about this episode at all. I don't care about wives in wheelchairs. I don't care about Greg Grunberg's wife cheating on him. I don't care about dangeroudly lackadaisical police officers investigating sites of lethal radiation. I care about Hiro!

    Ali Larter on screen makes me want to kill myself. Couldn't they have hired an actor?
