Where to begin...


The Office premier was last night. It was good, not one of the better premiers, or even one of the better episodes, but it was funny.

It started off strong, with Pam and Jim explaining that they were keeping her pregnancy a secret, mostly because the people in the office are crazy.

Also Dunder Mifflin hired three interns, and a large chunk of plot revolved around the three of them seeing Stanley out at a club (Tink's) with a woman who is not his wife.

This is where my beef with the episode came in. I go to college in Scranton. The kids who they showed wouldn't hang out at Tinks. I don't know anyone who really goes there. They'd be Kildare's people, or The Bog, possibly The Green Frog, definitely Oscar's. No matter who Stanley was having an affair with they definitely wouldn't go to Tink's. I'm just saying.

Anyway, of course, because it's Dunder Mifflin everything got out.

It was nice to see a microsm type episode again. One that was entire thing from start to finish, happened in the office. If that's the direction it's heading in, I think it'll be good.
