I agree about the elevator scene. Hilarious. I watched that scene so many times. It had me rolling. And people complaining about the snark can go watch another show.

Lucy's Al Qaeda/Gitmo line didn't bother me as much as Vinnie's Osama Bin Laden comment. Like, go shove it up your ass.

For some reason- i have no idea WHY- i actually liked the ending of Donut Run. Maybe because, despite being super cheesy, it was sort of... epic and movie-like in a way. I don't know, i guess i'm just easy. The rest of the episode was pretty blah and i was frustrated with Veronica for being STUPID, but the end gave me that "hey, i really like this show!" feeling. Ah well, whatever.

I'm so GLAD you're in on the Office love! And i am especially glad that you've been watching and loving the UK version. I worry so much about people who've started with the US version going backwards and watching the UK, because they're both verrrry different in tone. So, like, being used to the US version, you might go into the UK and think "uhhh, this is slow and depressing! i don't like it!" But anyway. YAY for you having good taste. ;D And dude, if you've only watched series 1... series 2 Tim/Dawn is even more BONE-CRUSHINGLY ANGSTY. It's awesome.

P.S.! Don't forget to get the Office Special as well! That's the reeeeeal ending to the show. If it ended at the end of Series 2 i'd have to kill myself. Seriously.

Love your iconses. THat hat= perfection. He breaks my heart just looking at him. I think that's what I love about the UK version, it's much heavier in terms of tone, and that contrast-- hilarity and tragedy, works so nicely for me.

I am going to go and buy all the offices today. I can't wait for Netflix to send them, it's too painful to wait. I feel like I'm an addict and The Office is my crack.

Thanks for the tip on the real ending. I'm off to get them RIGHT NOW. That is, if I can find them...
