Last night was the season premiere of unquestionably the best show on TV and at campuses all across the country, student’s tuned in, told their dumbass friends to shut up, and started watching. Here at OTR we’ll be breaking down every college student’s favorite show into its best and worst moments every week.
BEST: The layout. Setting the episode up so it took place over the whole summer was a pretty smart move. It’s a welcome change for previous seasons where we usually get a two minute recap delivered by a talking head.
WORST: Using this format, they often forgot that weeks were passing rather than days, like when Pam says that she just made friends, five weeks into her trip. Really, she’s that anti-social?
BEST: Ryan’s return. Ryan coming back as a temp yet again to fill Pam’s reception slot, is a genius writing move no one saw coming. Ryan’s one of my favorite characters. His lines about writing those who “wronged” him’s names down, the conversation with Kelly that he was “in his mid-twenties” and the crème-de-la-crème, “I really just hadn’t processed 9/11.”
WORST: Jan coming back for an incredibly awkward foot rub via Michael. What the hell is going on with them?
BEST: Kelly “I ate a tapeworm, Creed sold it to me.” Creed: “That wasn’t a tapworm.”
WORST: Dwight is a creepy skeezeball now, boning Angela in the loading bay while Andy smiles in the office like a doof. Dwight’s normally a weirdo, but a loveable weirdo, not a homewrecking douche.
BEST: Mad Men’s Rich Sommer as Pam’s potential new love interest. What a great cameo. Harry Crane shows up and starts charming the pants off Pam, but the writers threw us for a loop at the end of the episode which leads us to…
AMBIVALENT: I’m not sure how to feel about the Jim and Pam engagement. The scene itself was brilliantly set up, if you claim to have seen the moment at the gas station coming, you’re a ****ing liar. But in that spirit, I don’t know if I can handle another season of Jim/Pam lovie-dovieness. I think the writers will agree with me, and we might potentially see more of Harry Crane in the future.
