Reason #1535 not to get drunk when you're just chilling by yourself on a friday night.... Calling up one of your previous one night stands and kicking off a quasi-desperate 2.5 hour phone conversation that will now force you to deal with the whole non-rejection rejection thing all over again. Leading someone on FTW! Fan-freakin-tastic.

Some parts were great (eg, Pam coming back to the meeting to find they've been waiting the whole time). Other parts were embarassingly overdone or predictable. The cutesy moments with Jim and the new girl were also a waste.

Appears I'm in the minority about Season 3. I've been disappointed with each episode.

Whenever he had Oscar come up to the front of the room.

Is TauPentaRei's page 1 tirade too large to be an acceptable forum signature? 'Cos my god, that was gold. Your drinks are on me tonight.

You know, I'm okay with this. Sure, 1 - 99 AD is only 99 years, not 100. But lets be practical. Do we really want century timespans to be 1-100, 101-200, etc? It's much more convenient if it's 1-99, 100-199, etc. Plus, it's not like there was no year 0, it's simply called 1 BC. I'd rather label 1 BC - 99 AD the 1st century, and then continue with 100 AD - 199 AD as the 2nd century. Sounds reasonable to me. I guess I'm just content with "century" being used to define convenient blocks of 100 years, rather than getting all worked up about the fact that the first block of 100 years didn't have a technical year 0 to make it 100. EDIT: Eh, I'm not even sure I've convinced myself with this post, lol.

This bugs me daily! I always end up clicking 3 and then jumping to 7/8. Annoying.

I totally forgot about the prolonged hugging/kissing incident between Michael and Oscar. That was another low point in the show. It was just so tedious and predictable and unfunny and it took forever to happen.

SeriesFinale, I don't know, that mugshot gag is just not my kind of thing. It was so ridiculously cartoonish, I just didn't see it fitting with the nature of the show. (And in general, I'm just bothered by the fact that the writers went with Roy being a wreck for months. Did that fit in at all with the Roy we knew from the first 30 episodes? Sure, a turn like that is possible ... anything's possible ... but I just wasn't buying it. Whether it was the writing/ direction/ execution/ or just my interpretation, something didn't sit well with me.) bjkrautk, you hit on something else I forgot to comment. Jim being elsewhere with the constant checkups on him, adds an unnecessary distraction. Not only that, but the fact that we know Jim will probably be returning to Scranton is another huge distraction because I'll just be knowing that any scene of any episode could be where he makes his return. I hope the writers get that out of the way early instead of dragging it out. (Please, god, don't let it take until the season 3 finale.) madcrewfan, no doubt, there were some amazing lines that had me cracking up. But in general, I just never felt comfortable watching the show. The Jim/Pam thread just seems to have gotten a little too big, dampening the vibe that made the show great. I think I liked it better when it was just a subtle side-story to toy with. I just want to watch people interact and laugh my butt off, I don't need to be force-fed a romance tragedy in the meantime with characters moving out of state and elements of confusion, revenge, pride, etc, etc, all entering into the mix.

Everyone okay with tonight's show? To me, it seemed like everything with Steve was spot-on, while much of the rest just felt awkward and clumsy. Anyone else get that vibe? It was like a tale of two shows. Half the time it felt like the usual Office greatness, while other times it just smacked of writers trying too hard and being too over-the-top on the drama. (I was particularly bothered by the exagerrated, out-of-place mug shot of Roy and his "I'll win her back" ... that was embarassingly poor). I'm just sorta getting that same worried feeling I got in Season 4 of Gilmore Girls (before it totally began to tank in Season 5). When things stopped being about the natural characters and amazing dialogue/writing ... and started using heavy-handed tactics (like uncharacteristic behavior and suddenly extraordinary circumstances) to make things more dramatic and more soap-opera-ish. I'm not saying tonight's episode was terrible, but it was probably the least good episode so far. EDIT: In other words, the gay/oscar stuff was really REALLY good, but the rest of the show just felt off-balance. And Dwight crying at the beginning is actually a perfect example of what I hated about the show tonight, lol.

Or how about when you first open that box and the kleenex is so jam-packed in there that you're left holding shards of tissue on your first six or seven grabs?

On that note, how about when people have their interests "peaked" or "peeked" rather than "piqued"? Grr.

Good question. Came here to see what was up for tomorrow. Looks like nothing doing.

I swear I remember Maddux going out there when the score was 5-4.

STILL no one is warming up in the pen? Are we getting Yosted again?

Anyone know if any bars in the Milwaukee area will have tonight's game on TV, despite FSN not carrying it?

I would have booed Jenkins for a few seconds and then cheered the team afterwards. So.... yeah.

Sorry, it looks like I'll be helping my sister move.

Coco's always got things under control. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Man, Graffy has been out of his mind lately. Wow.

Cirillo's average continues to soar!

Unless I missed a stolen base attempt earlier in the game, the Brewers are now 6 for 14 in SB attempts since the all-star break. Worst in the majors. And far and away worst in the NL.

Gah, I really hate not having FSN for these last couple of plays. Or I just need Powell on the mic instead of Ueck...

The infield was not drawn in during Mench's at bat? Ueck never said, I just assumed it would be. But that wouldn't explain a run scoring ground out to 3B. (For that matter, why wasn't the lead run nailed out at second?)

Thought he was unavailable due to his hamstring?
