Season 3 Episode 2
In this episode we see Dwight and Michael leave The Office for a paper convention in Philadelphia. There they reunite with Jim, the “prodical son.” Michael is sure to inform Jan that he and Carol are still dating and it would be inappropriate for them to have any contact.
Jim finds out Pam is not married.
Back in the office, Creed introduces himself to Meredith (who has been working there since the beginning) and Toby attempts to ask out Pam, but fails. However, Pam does go on a date with someone else.
I thought it was a good episode overall, but I did have a few observations.
I like it when the majority of the show is filmed in the actual office. This lets the minor characters add to it. Also, part of the charm of The Office is how realistic it can be to your own job.
Second, I felt like this episode was more about plot development and less about really funny scenes. I’m ok with that, as I suppose it’s necesary. It just takes away from the strength of the show a little. I’ll be excited to see more storylines come in because some of them are running a little long in the tooth. (Can Kelly and Ryan just break it off already?)
Lastly, I sure do feel bad for Michael. He tried to build up that party all day and it was a total bust. He did keep a positive attitude for most of it though. Maybe it was the “fun jeans” he was wearing. Steve Carell is just incredible at that role. Is it to early to promote him for an Emmy next year?
Overall, nice episode. They always seem to end it on a high note to keep a good taste in your mouth. (I hope it’s urine.)
