I am all caught up with The Office.

So by the time I was halfway through season 2 of The Offine, I was sort of thinking "Wow, this is a pretty awesome show, and yet I find it strangely unsatisfying." But then I realized it had been a couple of days and I couldn't stop watching it and now I am totally caught up all the way to the latest episde of season 3. So. Um? The Office! Pretty cool!

My favorite part so far is still the beginning tag of "Take Your Daughter to Work Day" when Dwight and Jim both call out "That's Batman" at the same time. ("What about Aquaman? Where does he live?" "...The ocean." "I work with a bunch of nerds.")

Basically all the pranks (faxes from future Dwight!) are pretty awesome. And I'm pretty amazed by how all the creepy weird stuff can suddenly become totally unexpectedly sweet -- Dwight and Angela, Dwight and Pam, Michael and Pam, all these little moments.

--And I was about to say Roy actually seemed like a really nice guy, but then the last five minutes of 3x18 happened. Heh.

Okay, seriously, could Pam be any more likable? Is it possible for anyone to watch this show and not Mary Sue yourself into her place? She's smart and funny and cute and sweet! It's ridiculous, it really is.

Finally, my mental image of Rainn Wilson is no longer as an undertaker-to-be nuzzling a sixty old woman like a horse. Instead, it is ... a really creepy guy carrying around dead things and staring at people. Awesome.

(Are there any ridiculous vampire AUs following "Business School"? It feels like there should be.)

Yay! This show just sucks you in so well. And I loved the whole nerds scene. Too cute! I absolutely adore Pam. Everyone goes on and on about Jim but right now I love Pam way more than him. I heart her so much. It's so great to see her realistically growing as a person.
