The Office Spoilers for Season 5

by

the office logo The date of the new season premiere is drawing near my friends. Finally, new information about what is up ahead is coming in!

First off, an Office episode may be coming to Scranton to film one episode, according to this interview with Rainn Wilson. How exciting for its residence! And I’ll be looking forward to an episode like that, with the Dunder Mifflin float!

  • TL: Have the producers ever discussed filming “The Office” in town?
  • RW: Yes, we talk about coming to Scranton all the time.
  • TL: How serious are those discussions?
  • RW: Well, the problem is that it’s difficult to do. We’re still trying to figure it out. It would require flying about 80 crew members to Scranton and then hiring a lot more there. And then we’d have to secure locations. I imagine that once we all got to Scranton, all life in town would stop, and it would be like the zombies running around in “28 Days Later,” with people trying to find “Office” locations. Security would be a nightmare. That being said, we really want to do it.
  • TL: What would the show be like if you guys filmed it in Scranton?
  • RW: I’m not sure. But we talked about it really seriously last year. We’d love to do a St. Patrick’s Day episode. We thought it would be so funny to have Dunder Mifflin make a float.

Next bit of news — the title to the first episode is Weight Loss, involving a competition about it. Did the gang gain weight over the summer? Apparently, it’s a company initiative, not just done by one branch (like they did with the marathon last year). Dunder Mifflin even released a memo.

  • Each branch will be competing to lose the most weight over the course of the next seven weeks. Office weigh-ins will be conducted every week and reported to corporate by your Human Resource Representative. At the end of the seven weeks, the branch that loses the most weight WILL WIN THREE EXTRA VACATION DAYS!

The first episode will also address the love triangles involving Dwangela + Andy and Jan, Michael and Holly.

And there’s a Dunder Mifflin employee returning in the premiere. Roy has been ruled out. So, who is your guess? Ryan or Karen or Toby?
