quotable quote: gareth & dwight’s assets

“People look at me, they say he’s tough, he was in the army, he’s gonna be hard, by the book.But I am caring, and sensitive. Isn’t Schindler’s List a brilliant film?”

“I’m a hunter, I go every year with my dad. The thing about deer is, they are very good at vision. The thing with me is, I am very good at hiding.In fact, I am better at hiding than they are… at vision.”

one of my other favorite shows from the United Kingdom is the IT Crowd, will be made into a pilot for NBC. Interestingly, Richard Ayoade who played Moss on the original, will also be playing Moss in the new version.

Read the TV Squad post about it!

Karen, Jim’s current girlfriend, showed up in the third season, would be Tim’s ~~Stacey~~ Rachel. it’s interesting that both actively pursued their boys, and got them… but for how long?

~~Stacey~~ Rachel lasted 6 episodes, and Karen’s got 12 episodes to this post date. ~~Stacey~~ Rachel could dance, and Jim seemed pretty impressed that Karen could speak French.

Karen confronted Jim straight up about his feelings for Pam, and was pretty calm about it. We saw ~~Stacey~~ Rachel crying, but it’s unclear what Tim said exactly to her. Karen was suckered into moving into Scranton though, but since ~~Stacey~~ Rachel was repeatedly hit on by Gareth, I think Karen’s still better off.

[EDIT: i confused the actress Stacey Roca’s name with the character who is actually named RACHEL. all changed!]


~~Stacey~~ Rachel, UK Office		Karen, US Office

i’m not sure if because it’s the american one i notice when they mention great americans in on the show, but this week’s is called “Ben Franklin”:

A WEDDING SHOWER FOR PHYLLIS- Acting on bad advice from his friend Todd Packer (David Koechner), Michael (Golden Globe winner Steve Carell) brings two “adult” performers into the office - a stripper and Ben Franklin - in honor of Phyllis’s (Phyllis Smith) wedding shower. Meanwhile Karen (Rashida Jones) confronts Pam (Jenna Fischer) about her past with Jim (John Krasinski). Rainn Wilson, B.J. Novak, Melora Hardin, David Denman, Leslie David Baker, Brian Baumgartner, Kate Flannery, Paul Lieberstein, and Mindy Kaling also star.
