whitewriterIt was boring, and utterly uninteresting.
Whilst the show is great-- the writing is really funny (and that painful funny that I'm really starting to enjoy) -- the acting makes it even better and the two just gel so well that the show is great.
With the show being complete nothing is stopping me (bar Pete) from binge watching.
I don't need spoilers, because I can spoil myself, by watching more episodes.
We are in the age where whole seasons are available instantly. You are ruining the age of spoilers. The season run with an episode a week and long summers of nothing to watch. The leaks, the late nights spent sitting up on message boards: 50% of the time spent figuring out if I really wanted to read the spoiler, and then 5% of the time actually reading the spoiler, and then 45% of the time finding my online mates who had read it (or hadn't read it and avoiding them) and then giggling about whatever the spoiler said and how that would all fit in. Or not fit in. Or go to full denial. Couldn't be true.
The Office is a show about good 'ole boring life and finding the little gems of truth and comedy to entertain us.
I'm not even tempted to read the episode synopsis to be spoiled.
All of the fun is in watching the show.
Now that I've tried one story, (which had a lot of kudos and was written in 2006 titled And Harder Still to Make Noise by sophiahelix I was completely underwhelmed.
It was like watching the show but droll, without the acting or even, a crazy storyline - to make it interesting.
Contrast The office fanfiction; to x-files fanfiction.
I don't know what it is about Dana Scully but she is just riveting. A doctor turned into a crime fighting FBI agent; who gets sucked into a conspiracy because she's following a man that she has grown to admire [and love] in his passion for the truth? They work for the government; and believe in the government -- and yet it is the government itself who is making decisions against individuals for the greater good of humanity?
If there was a (well written) fanfiction about Dana Scully making toast and doing groceries: I want to read it.
M and S are heroes. CC tries to walk the fine line between "normal people" and extraordinary individuals with amazing lives; and I think he achieved it with these two. So I covet them. They're whom I dream I could be (but we all know no one could ever be them).
Pam and Jim will not suffice.
Pam? What is Pam. She's just ordinary. Did she compete any further education past high school? She's been with the one guy since forever. The relationship smacks a little of DV/coercive control almost. She has a perfectly cute and funny friend who likes her a lot : and yet she just wants to be friends, or not : she's not sure. If she goes home and makes toast or does groceries I want to take a nap and stop reading.
The Office is super fun to watch.
