The Office: What Story We’re Missing (Spoiler)
This may have come a bit too late, as I’ve never posted any more spoiler right after the strike took place last November. Some of you may or may not have already heard of it; or because of the long hiatus, some may have already forgotten about it. But at any rate, now is a good time to post this as any, so that we can all at least relish the idea of what we have to look forward to, once the writers are back at work.
As everyone is aware, The Office was the very first show to shut down production as soon as the strike hit. The week that happened, the cast was supposed to shoot their ninth episode, tentatively titled Dinner Party, following Jan’s deposition. What this episode’s about consist of a dinner party hosted by Michael and Jan at the former’s condo unit. The writers for this particular episode, Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky, have particularly expressed that this was something different, most awkward perhaps, but still a different departure from what we normally see from The Office. In fact, this was a storyline two years in the making. Jim and Pam were supposedly guests to that dinner party and it wasn’t clear whether or not there were others, or it was just these two couples. The cast and crew have been quoted in interviews saying it was one of the funniest table reads they’ve ever had.
Sucks that we have to wait awhile to find out what happened.
