The Office: St. Patrick's Day

Posted by: Lawrence Lee  •  March 14, 2010 @ 12:34am

Michael has a history of being the polar opposite to every person that has managed him. In the case of Jo, she finds Michael's lackadaisical and unprofessional behaviours to be inappropriate, and counterproductive. As Jo has set the example of working hard and doing overtime, Michael has little reason to not mirror her work ethic.

The Office: The Delivery

Posted by: Lawrence Lee  •  March 8, 2010 @ 9:20pm

Much of the appeal of The Office is a result of combining diverse characters in an office environment, with plots that are driven by workplace related themes and the interactions that ensue. The Delivery, is unlike most episodes of The Office. Instead, it relies on slapstick, and the characters acting very much over the top.

The Office: Manager and Salesman

Posted by: Lawrence Lee  •  February 14, 2010 @ 6:13pm

Manager and Salesman has got to be the most disappointing episode of The Office in a very long time. There was minimal characterization, a predictable plot, and a love story that's going nowhere. And where there is characterization, there is nothing memorable.

The Office: Secret Santa

Posted by: Lawrence Lee  •  December 12, 2009 @ 1:05am

For the first time, Jim was able to look like the saner of the two co-managers. It didn't take much on Jim's part, as he was only being himself. This is easy, when Michael was entwined in perceived authority, sexism, and jealousy. His own personal insecurities and entitlement have led to him believing that he has the right to not only be Santa Claus, but to also take it away from Phyllis.

The Office: Scott's Tots

Posted by: Lawrence Lee  •  December 6, 2009 @ 2:52am

There are times when Michael has been able to take a situation from an inevitable doom, and turn it into a miraculous victory. These times are rare, and are dependent on Michael's invincible cluelessness, coupled with an antagonist that is all too grounded in reality.

The Office: Shareholder Meeting

Posted by: Lawrence Lee  •  November 20, 2009 @ 1:54am

There was something awfully strange about Michael getting greeted at the hotel. He got to go into an area that was for upper management and the board members only, to a room that had two security guards standing outside the door. As Michael and the upper echelon were going on the stage, they too were also mysteriously escorted by security.

The Office: Murder

Posted by: Lawrence Lee  •  November 13, 2009 @ 12:44am

Once again, the Scranton branch finds itself at the mercy of corporate and financial difficulties. The employees have gone through a lot of downsizing over the years, from Devon's termination, to mergers, and most recently, the closing of a branch.

The Office: Double Date

Posted by: Lawrence Lee  •  November 6, 2009 @ 6:39pm

Whenever the combination of tension, and Michael Scott are present, there is almost always a disaster waiting to happen. At the beginning of Double Date, it looked as if it was going to be one of those rare times where Michael was going to prove everybody else wrong.

The Office: Koi Pond

Posted by: Lawrence Lee  •  October 30, 2009 @ 9:19pm

Halloween episodes are fun to watch. The costumes are always interesting, whether it be Jim's minimalism, or Creed's incredible uncanniness. But with The Office tradition, something tragic always happens at that time of the year.

The Office: The Lover

Posted by: Lawrence Lee  •  October 23, 2009 @ 12:57am

After watching Michael's blind man act, Pam admitted that "It's good to be home." But this was before Michael unleashed the terrifying news, first to Jim, and then to Pam. This episode shows Jim and Pam at their angriest.
