The Office (US) S4 E11 - 'Survivor Man' Even-Smaller Review


Outdoors.

 BEST MOMENTS

  • "HEY nobody cares" - Michael
  • Broken Mountain haha
  • "It's better to be hurt by someone you know accidentally, than by a stranger on purpose"
  • "Let's put it this way - no, I do not"
  • Michael calling Dwight a creepy serial killer
  • Dwight trying to knock Michael out
  • WTF was Jim thinking about trying to throw LESS parties?!
  • "Blacks do crack"
  • The compilation of Michael scaring the sh*t out of people for their birthdays
  • "Tell her it's for Creed, she'll know what that means"
  • "I HAVE HAEMORRHOIDS"
  • Phyllis called Jim Michael!!
  • Jim finally realising that he is WASTING his life in paper!
  • "That's what who said?" "I never know"
DID YOU KNOW?!*

  • When Michael surprises Phyllis in her car, you can see Phyllis laughing. She even smiles before Michael says anything
  • Michael wears a "Battlestar Galactica" sweatshirt when he returns to the office from the woods. Presumably he borrowed it from Dwight, who is a huge fan of the show
  • As far as blood donation goes: The American Red Cross limits you to donating one pint every 8 weeks. The average person (~160-180 lbs) has roughly 10 pints of blood in their system.
  • In the wilderness, Michael shouts out that Jan has 'plastic boobs', referencing an earlier episode where she has her breasts enhanced, causing her and Michael getting back together
  • The Battlestar Gallactica sweater Michael is wearing when he and Dwight return from the wilderness is the same sweater worn by Dwight when he returns from working at Staples in "The Return" (season 3, episode 13)
  • In the montage of Jim describing all the ways Michael likes to celebrate birthdays, there is a scene of Kevin's birthday, where Kevin begins hitting Dwight with the blow-up doll Michael gives Kevin. Never one to tolerate such sophomoric behavior, Angela is usually disgusted. However, in this scene, she is seen laughing and enjoying herself... so this was more than likely an outtake that production decided to keep
RATING: 8.3/10

The Office (US) S3 E6 - 'Diwali' Mini-Review

Image
The Festival of Lights. Michael's inappropriate jokes were in full swing this episode as the office attended Kelly's family's Diwali celebrations. Ryan was grilled ruthlessly by Kelly's parents in a number of brilliant scenes, whilst Michael proposed, unsuccessfully, to Carol in a cringe-inducing moment. The irritating boss went on to sink even lower by attempting to kiss Pam. It's certainly the lowest we've seen Michael this season, and it will be interesting to see how he brings himself back from this. Karen and Jim meanwhile earned my approval, proving their chemistry is undeniable. Also, it's Rashida freakin' Jones, so WHY is he not leaving the Pam thing behind him and getting with Ann Perkins!! Either way, a solid and gag-filled episode, one of the strongest so far. BEST MOMENTS "One of our most ethnic coworkers" "Pam wishes" "I wish some of us still had our shoes on" "At lezst I'm not dressed as a...

The Office (UK) S1 E1 - 'Downsize' Review

Image
Investment in People. The first ever episode of The Office (UK)  sets up an entertaining and relatable workplace, although a number of jokes fall flat. 'Downsize' is light on story and heavy on exposition as it aims t o establish the characters and relationships within the fictional offices of  Wernham Hogg, whilst encouraging the viewer to sympathise with these characters and plot threads. As such, the best way to address this episode would be to view it as a character study. Here is what I got from the characters: David Brent (Ricky Gervais) - The protagonist, loveable idiot boss David Brent drives the show forward and his cringe-inducing gags and interactions form the core of the humour in the show. He clearly wants to do good, but is misguided and inappropriate, resulting in awkward office interactions which many viewers would likely associate with. Despite his rudeness and poor sense of humour, I instantly rooted for Brent and his passion for his colleagues. Ti...

Arrow S1 E16 - 'Dead to Rights' Review

Image
So... Who Needs Two Bullets in the Chest? 'Dead to Rights' is a solid episode in Arrow 's first season. The episode chooses to refocus upon the Undertaking and the overall running arc of the series, and it is all the better for it. We see fractures in the List organisation, as Moira and Frank turn on Malcolm. Similarly, we see Malcolm struggling to maintain the lie of his identity from his son Tommy, and this conflict plays out well across the 42 minute run time. He kills in front of Tommy and almost reveals his Dark Archer outfit to his son, before Lawton interrupts by shooting Malcolm. Lawton's reintroduction as Deadshot is another excellent move by the showrunners. Deadshot, now missing an eye thanks to his last encounter with the Hood, is a great foe and I'm glad he's back in action and likely to return in the future of the Arrowverse. His new robotic eye is bad-ass, as was the fight scenes between Oliver, the Triad and China White. In the past, little...
