T-minus 2 days until the next The Office (Year 5; Episode 2)

With only two days to go until the next episode of the 2008 version of The Office, today's question focuses on what happened in episode 1 that you think will carry forward to episode 2.

What story line in Episode 1 has the biggest role in Episode 2 of The Office?

I think the Dwight/Angela/Andy love triangle will be the biggest one, though I really don't enjoy that storyline as much as some of the others. I've never been a big fan of either Angela or Andy, and this storyline only reinforces my dislike of these two characters. But unfortunately, it has also brought Dwight down with them. He's just not funny in this love triangle. The love triangle does not play up Dwight's best features: stubborn, dense, macho-man-wanna-be. Maybe Moes needs to step into this next episode and kick some sense into Dwight. Now that's a scene that I'd like to see!!

So what do you think will be the storyline that has the biggest impact in episode 2? Jim and Pam? The return (and vengeance) of Ryan?

By the way, here's a link to episode 2 of The Office:

What is with Moes!?

In this latest version of The Office Fanatic, I'd love people's thoughts about Dwight's crazed brother Moes (not even sure that's the way that his name is spelt). We know that he's phenomenal at table tennis, isn't afraid of a raccoon, and can run like the wind through the beet fields. He's also not afraid to use an outhouse in the middle of the night either. But today's The Office Fanatic question of the day is:

Who is Moes and What Does the Future in The Office hold for him?

I love the character. I love the Amish-type of beard and the fact that he never talks. I think the future in The Office is bright for Moes. Maybe a budding relationship with Angela (as soon as she tires of trying to handle both Dwight and Andy)? Hey, Jan is in need of a father for her forthcoming child, why not Moes? The fact that he doesn't talk would probably sit very well with Jan.

So what do you think the future on The Office holds for Moes? And heck, how do you correctly spell his name? Help, please!!

The Office Season Opener - 2008

Whoa! What the hell was last night's program about!? I hope that they were just setting up the rest of 2008, because that had to be one of the most weird, unfunny episodes of The Office that I've ever seen. Dwight and Angela!? Anything to do with Andy!? Michael with the weird goatee!? The return of a vengeful Ryan as the admin!? And that ending with Toby?! Sorry, but it was just too weird and not funny (not to mention the Dwight and Angela thing as very disgusting and disturbing). Well, here's to hopefully a more on-track, funny The Office episode next week.

The Office Question of The Day

So speaking of the weird relationship between Angela, Dwight and Andy, today's The Office question of the day is this: who finally ends up with Angela?

To be honest, after last night's episode, I'm not really sure that I care (see link below to The Office 2008 season opener titled "Weight Loss." But if I did, my guess is that it might not be either the clueless Andy, or the disgusting Dwight. My vote? I'm going with Creed. Why? Because why not! He's got a very questionable character, so morally he's perfect for Angela. And he probably doesn't give two bits about who Angela is coupling with.

Season Opener 2008: Weight Loss

Oh well, what do you think? Any votes for Kevin or Ryan or Michael? Maybe the return of Toby?

Question: Who would win...

The Office Question of the Day: Who would win the fight, a Black Bear or a Cyborg?

This is related to the statement that Jim made to Pam to see if Dwight was listening ("Hey Dwight, there's a black bear and a cyborg fighting in the parking lot"). In this episode of The Office, Dwight did not respond (he was wearing headphones at his desk). But that doesn't address the key question (and one that likely only Dwight could answer), who would win the fight?

I'd give the edge to the Cyborg since the black bear will have trouble getting traction and lose much of his agility advantage due to the black top in the parking lot. And the Cyborg would obviously have superior weaponry (since I've never seen a black bear packing heat). So my vote goes to the Cyborg, though it might take a few rounds for the Cyborg to finish off the black bear.

So, what would Dwight say? Do you have an opinion? If so, share it with us!!
