STRINGER'S BACK! by BurnHollywood	Mar 19th, 2009 03:19:46 AM
Omar and Brother Malzone only winged him...now he's back to take corners in the paper business, hell yeah... I hope Poot and Bodie turn up as sales associates...
PASS THE METHOD by electricjones	Mar 19th, 2009 04:11:45 AM
At long last, this opens the door to get Method Man as Cheese in the warehouse. God bless Craig Robinson, but if the writing staff really wants to sell their blacks-intimidating-whites jokes they could do no better than Meth as Melvin Wagstaff. Then they could get Robinson and Patrice O'Neal together for the next birthday party to perform C.R.E.A.M. with him.
In the halls of corporate by dougmac	Mar 19th, 2009 04:14:11 AM
you could hear him shout to his assistant "where Wallace at?"
Re: BurnHollywood, Stringer's back by Dan the Geek	Mar 19th, 2009 04:50:17 AM
I'd like to see Prop Joe show up and try to buy out Dunder Mifflin. No alliances this time 'round!

The awards committees were all like "so who am I supposed to relate to?" and gave up.
There just better be a scene where... by Cameron1	Mar 19th, 2009 05:43:53 AM
Elba berates the staff for not knowing what an elastic product is, and he better end every meeting with "adjourn yo asses".
Season Finale -- McNulty by jam924	Mar 19th, 2009 06:20:32 AM
A very special "The Office." A disgraced former "murder police" from "Body-more, Murderland" hires on to Dunder-Mifflin, Scranton. The new guy, Jimmy, suffers from a deeply ingrained distrust of authority. Hilarity ensues when Jimmy begins plotting against Michael. Complications arise when Holly returns from the hinterlands and she and Jimmy begin a relationship, causing Michael no shortage of consternation. We learn that Holly has two children, who lovingly refer to Jimmy by his surname. A montage of the turmoil wrought by this newcomer plays in the final minutes of this special 79-minute episode, brought to you without commercial interruption. Spoiler Alert: new ground will be broken in network television as Jimmy's final words in the season cliffhanger, "What the fuck did I do?" air without the censor's bleep. It's not TV, it's NBC!!!
Wire easily one of the best TV series ever... by quantize	Mar 19th, 2009 06:28:37 AM
the lack of noms is an indictment of the low standards of the industry..
Dan the Geek by BurnHollywood	Mar 19th, 2009 07:23:09 AM
Prop Joe works with the Kinko's Co-op. No, the real threat is the Baltimore branch...manager there's a kid named Marlo, and his two best earners are a scary pair named Chris and Snoop. Dwight Schrute needs to keep an eye out for any black SUVs near his beet farm...

fuck the emmys
I, for one, can't get enough of the Wire references... by NeoMyers	Mar 19th, 2009 07:36:58 AM
No sarcasm intended. I've been calling Michael's new boss Stringer Bell ever since I heard the actor had hired on.
invisotext? by itrainmonkeys	Mar 19th, 2009 07:45:22 AM
how come every single week....the office TB invisotext says "ryan will be back" or "ryan returns soon"? Each week I expect him because of these "spoilers" but each week he's not there.
I Loved Hearing Idris' Natural Accent by Aquatarkusman	Mar 19th, 2009 08:09:04 AM
In Rocknrolla; it wasn't the most terrific movie in the world, but some of the scenes with him and Gerard Butler were classic.
Yes by I am_NOTREAL	Mar 19th, 2009 08:15:18 AM
Always good to see a talented and underused actor find work, and especially the erstwhile Mr. Bell, whose performance on The Wire was one of the best on a great, great show. The final scene between Stringer and Avon Barksdale, where both struggle with the weight of their shared past as they try to set each other up, was one of the best-played dramatic scenes in recent TV. I think the US "Office" is starting to run out of gas but still has moments for now and I'm glad to see Idris Elba get this role.
dougmac by c4andmore	Mar 19th, 2009 08:29:45 AM
D'angelo said that, not Stringer
Well Damages has Rawls and Freamon... by DanielKurland	Mar 19th, 2009 09:03:34 AM
And has been soooo good this season.
Is Dunder-Mifflin gettin' in on that Co-Op, yo? by Crow3711	Mar 19th, 2009 09:17:10 AM
I just picture the corner-kids yellin, "We got them White-Sheets. Got them White-sheets." Stringers gonna move that paper-package all over Scranton's East side...and the West muthafucka.
ZZZzzz... too bad they didnt hire THE SHIELD vets. by AshokZero	Mar 19th, 2009 09:20:16 AM

Most of the UK's "news" papers which by V'Shael	Mar 19th, 2009 10:36:07 AM
report on hollywood gossip, celebrity and/or rumours, are pure horse shit. Take a list. These papers are full of shit. They'll do things like report a Titanic sequel. Or Jaws 6. # Daily Star # The People # The Daily Mirror # The Daily Sport # The Sun # News of the World # The Morning Star
I predict: Stringer Bell will send Kevin to the low-rises by Dr Lizardo	Mar 19th, 2009 10:48:49 AM

Will he need to pay off Clay Davis to secure his paper contracts by Big Jim	Mar 19th, 2009 12:22:12 PM
Sheeeeeeeeeeit!

Supernatural has vets from Wire, Mad Men, AND 24 by Qwonk	Mar 19th, 2009 01:09:23 PM
All in tonight's episode. So HA! Okay, so maybe they were smaller roles. Whatever. Shut up. Tonight's ep is going to kick ass. It's the truth. Also, they're all playing angels.
Zillion Episodes Away? by TheMarineBiologist	Mar 19th, 2009 01:16:10 PM
Yep, all hope of The Office leaving with its dignity intact has now been lost. "Zillion Episodes" roughly translates to "we'll keep churning out episodes regardless of quality until we get canceled." Too bad...
Not enough e's, Big Jim by I am_NOTREAL	Mar 19th, 2009 02:01:35 PM
To me it's more like sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeit
Oscar starts a new relationship... by Thrillho77	Mar 19th, 2009 03:29:31 PM
with a shotgun-toting motherfucker named Omar. Dunder-Mifflin is shaken to their core when Oscar is found, beaten to a pulp and eyes gouged out, on the hood of Meredith's van.
TheMarineBiologist by Thrillho77	Mar 19th, 2009 03:30:20 PM
My thoughts exactly. A zillion more to go is a shame when it was clear that they should have ended it with Season 3.
One more wire reference. by Timahh	Mar 19th, 2009 03:33:03 PM
NEW BOSS:You know, Avon, you gotta think about what we got in this game for, man. Huh? Was it the rep? Was it so our names could ring out on some fucking ghetto streetcorner, man? Naw, man. There's games beyond the fucking game.
McNulty has a beer and cheets on his wife. by Thrillho77	Mar 19th, 2009 03:38:21 PM

It's a 40° day today too by Helpful Electronic Lab Partner Robot	Mar 19th, 2009 04:07:43 PM
Perfect timing!
the finale had better NOT be a zillion episodes away. by Dwide Shrewd	Mar 19th, 2009 05:11:47 PM
Some would say the show jumped the shark 2 seasons ago, some would say the shark was jumped the day they decided to adapt the original. Personally, I do not believe the shark has been jumped, but they are getting AWFULLY FUCKING CLOSE. If this isn't the final season, then next year should be. ...fucking fuckers trying to bleed a good thing dry...
i don't get the office hate?? by slappy jones	Mar 19th, 2009 05:28:02 PM
is it a rule that something has to be hated on eventually no matter what?? the office has hardly slipped that far down in quality. its as if there is a honeymoon period and then no matter what a show, director, actor franchise whatever does it must be hated and people must talk about how bad it has gotten. last weeks office was great? has there been patchy episodes - yes of course but i just don't see where the office has gotten to a point that people prey for it to end. if you don't like it DON'T WATCH IT. its as simple as that. Its kinda like people complaining about how bad the simpsons has gotten. look i agree about that one but guess what ... i stopped watching it because i don't like it anymore. and i don't go to simpson related threads to go on about it...who gives a fuck.
Right on slappy by Craftybear	Mar 19th, 2009 06:48:59 PM
Fish gotta swim, birds gotta fly, and haters gotta hate....the Office has slipped somewhat from the awesomeness of the 2nd and 3rd seasons, but it is still one of the best sitcoms on TV with an amazing ensemble cast. I don't think it has a "zillion" more episodes in it, but at least a couple more seasons would be nice. The Simpsons is still pretty funny sometimes (the new HD episodes have been fairly solid so far) but where's the hate for Family Guy, which has been weak at best this season (an OJ Simpson episode? Really?)
Another? by fivezero	Mar 19th, 2009 07:16:13 PM
Who else from the Wire was on The Office?
There have been some good episodes this season... by rbatty024	Mar 19th, 2009 07:54:48 PM
but you have to admit that compared to seasons past, it is the weakest.
fivezero by Thrillho77	Mar 19th, 2009 07:59:09 PM
Did you miss Amy Ryan's huge role earlier this season?
Let's have some internal consistancy in our TBs by Larry of Arabia	Mar 19th, 2009 08:09:39 PM
I remember how the zitegiest here was that season three was terrible. And the first season was also terrible. Then the second season showed it getting it's legs. Now the 4th season isn't as great as the wonderful third season. I don't understand what I'm supposed to hate.
Well, we can guess who Kelly's crush is now by terry1978	Mar 19th, 2009 08:11:32 PM
She does like the brothas, don't she? Seriously though, Elba's deadpan delivery on this show is classic...I hope he stays on for a while.
Jumped? No. Still funny? by I am_NOTREAL	Mar 19th, 2009 08:12:54 PM
Yes...occasionally even VERY funny. But the characters, with all but zero growth, are starting to wear thin. Shows can only stay interesting / engaging for so long. I've long thought the mark was around 5 years...a little more for some, a little less for others, but around 5. The Office is getting close. An example: the Jim-Pam tension subplot when Pam was in NY earlier this year was as clumsy as it was stupid.
goddamnit office! by motivotion	Mar 19th, 2009 08:20:47 PM
Reclaim your glory! That is all.
This is why the Office sucks now... by Thrillho77	Mar 19th, 2009 08:22:06 PM
It is exponentially worse - the more that Michael Scott acts like a petulant, Peter-Griffin-esque man-child. I'm sorry, but Steve Carrell single-handedly has been derailing the show since the 3rd season's end.
WHATTT??? by ObiWanKenobi	Mar 19th, 2009 08:29:58 PM
So who is Michael taking with him? Dwight???
Michael Scott is the best character WHEN... by Thrillho77	Mar 19th, 2009 09:07:34 PM
he is trying-to-hard to be cool and making social gaffes with absolutely no self-awareness, IMO. NOT when he's a whiny, cry-baby who needs to get his way or he'll act like a 5 year old. Sadly, since season 3, we've been getting far too much of the latter.
I assume ... by Hercules	Mar 19th, 2009 09:39:05 PM
Michael's taking Jim with him. It'll be interesting to see who Charles brings in to run Scranton.
Gervais--guest starring role as new regional manager? by zacdilone	Mar 19th, 2009 10:12:16 PM
That would be a fun arc.
Michael's out of the game? by mraig	Mar 19th, 2009 10:14:15 PM
Dunder Mifflin is fucked. Lesson here, David Wallace and Stringer Bell. You come at the king, you best not miss.
Didn't I read somewhere that... by beastie	Mar 19th, 2009 10:16:05 PM
... there will still be an Office spin off, just that it won't be Parks and Recreation? I thought that I read that it was still undetermined as to when it would begin. Could this possibly be the beginnings of said spin-off? Also, I completely agree with zaxdilone.
the first half of this TB was the funniest thread by crazybubba	Mar 19th, 2009 11:17:48 PM
i've read in a while. I've never watched the office, but maybe i'll start with Elba now on the show, but only if they have a scene with Clay Davis telling everyone how he just finnished reading Prometheus Bound.
crazybubba by Thrillho77	Mar 19th, 2009 11:29:59 PM
So you haven't watched the Office episode yet? You missed Kevin walk in on Stanley getting a blow job!
jam924 by gerberzebe	Mar 20th, 2009 02:38:52 AM
I want to see that episode so badly.
Next episode there's a problem with the year-end by Big Jim	Mar 20th, 2009 09:20:41 AM
and Oscar & Stanley have to go through all the numbers to find the problem: Stanley: "Aw, fuck" Oscar: "Mother-fucker" Stanley: "fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck" Oscar: "FUCK" Stanley: "Mother-Fuck!" Oscar: "Oh fuck, oh fuck" Stanley: "fuck?" Oscar: "fuck me, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fucker" Stanley: "...the fuck?" Oscar: "Fuckin' A!" Stanley: "Fuck Me!"
I agree with Thrillho77 by topfivevideo	Mar 20th, 2009 10:12:59 AM
Lately this just hasn't been funny at all. Just Steve walking around acting like a fucking baby. I love the Peter Griffin comparison because thats basically who he's become now. This series needs to get back on track and for the love of God where was Toby during all of this and BRING BACK HOLLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!
You have no idea how high I can fly by erichaislar	Mar 20th, 2009 10:59:44 AM
was the best line of the night, so fucking dumb to say. let so deep as well.
Thrillho77 by fivezero	Mar 20th, 2009 01:37:16 PM
I don't watch The Office.
fivezero by Thrillho77	Mar 20th, 2009 02:58:38 PM
Then I see why you didn't know! ;)
How did Angela get the scarf? by BrannigansLaw	Mar 20th, 2009 07:13:14 PM

by jdhasson	Mar 21st, 2009 05:05:34 AM
The office still makes me laugh til it hurts. Piss off, haters.
David Simon owns David Chase by chaddyd	Mar 22nd, 2009 07:25:29 AM
The Wire kicked the holy hell out of the Sopranos, when both series are taken in their entirety. You all know it. There is simply no comparison between the two. And Idris Elba is the baddest mofo on the planet. And RockNRolla was also badass. And the Office is still great, though I'm thinking 30 Rock might be edging it out.
Jim was a prick in this ep... by neal2zod	Mar 22nd, 2009 07:25:55 AM
Sure, Dwight's an ass, but Jim tried to run him under the bus twice, AND later seemed to be angling for Michael's job with his "hey guess what, I'm the NUMBER TWO MAN around here" ass-kissery, after he saw the tension between Charles and Michael. Did the writers know this is how Jim came off? His 'comeuppance' by getting dissed by Charles was strangely satisfying.
