Ricky Gervais in The Office US

[reveparisien]

OH MY GOD !
It's going to happen: David Brent will meet up with Michael Scott before Steve Carell leaves The Office. Vulture has learned that Ricky Gervais shot a top-secret cameo that will appear in the cold open of the January 27 episode of the NBC series.

MORGANE!

(I am replying to your email as I type, but I had to jump in right here to say:)

I just watched Fringe! All of it! And for most of the first season I was kind of "eh," but I had heard that mid-season two it gets amazing, and you know what? IT TOTALLY DOES, and then remains amazing until now!

That's all :o)

I'm still so glad you love the show too ! I didn't know anyone who was watching ! Your comment makes me so excited about the future of the show. I can't wait to see more ! :)

Oh no, this news really makes me regret the fact that I gave up on The Office a few episodes ago. I feel like it should have ended when Jim and Pam got married, or maybe even before that, and I just don't think it's fun to watch anymore. I'm not sure David Brent could get me to start watching again.

Hmmm, everybody seems to be watching Fringe these days. Is it Lost-ish in any way? Because I really, really do not like Lost and I know they have the same creator.

The Virgin Suicides! Somewhere! You have great taste. :)

I know 80% of the fans gave up on the show but I could never do that ! I can't argue : it's obviously become less funny but I still care very much about those characters and I want to know what happens to them ! But I understand why you stopped watching... This last season hasn't been very exciting or funny until Holly came back in the last episode ! It's going to be good I'm sure :)

I think it reminds me of Lost ! But I love Lost so it's a compliment for me. It's still very different, though if I'm being objective. It's a completely different environment. It's really a mix between Lost and Alias. I don't know if that sounds better to you now ! I hope so ! If you give it a try and watch only the first episode, you'll have a good idea.

Thanks ! :D You love S. Coppola too, then ! Did you like Somewhere ?

Now that I've quit the show, I'm tempted to go back and rewatch my DVDs of seasons 1-4, to check if those episodes were really as funny as I remembered them. I'm afraid that I'll be overly critical now, knowing what it's become! I felt horribly guilty when I first started watching the show because it seemed really disloyal to the original series, which I LOVE. I think the Brits have the right idea about television, short seasons that only go for a couple of years. No time to run everything into the ground.

Haha, I don't know if that comparison is a compliment. I watched Alias for years until I became really fed up with the increasingly outlandish, sci-fi-type storylines and quit. That being said, I think I will watch the first episode today!

I love Sofia! I really liked Somewhere once I got into the flow of it. It felt like certain scenes seemed to drag on for longer than was comfortable, like ohmygod please pleeeeeaaaase cut to something else! This is taking foreeeever! (the opening driving scene, both pole-dancing scenes,
