I think she means that the stuff that's supposed to be JD's fantasy, like the wind tunnel, seem to actually be happening instead of just in his head. There's not that clean break as there always used to be.

I liked the focus on the secondary/tertiary characters too.

Sorry, I'm down on my celeb gossip--is that really a possibility? Because of that voicemail message or whatever?

Well, I don't know. I know he's saying he wants to leave. NBC is saying, "No." It's been reported various places, and P-C mentioned it here: Polter-Cow "Experimental TV: Comedy" Apr 26, 2007 5:31:06 pm PDT

Yes, that's what I meant. It didn't just seem like JD's fantasy-JD and Turk were experiencing the wind tunnel, but that actual JD Turk were. It's happened a lot this season (and maybe last).

I liked the recent Scrubs where we got into the heads of the other characters, FWIW.

Me, too.

I seem to recall from a commentary by creator-dude that they are softening the "Hey, this is a fantasy sequence" cuts in recent seasons on the assumption that viewers will know by now that that's just in JD's head.

Oh, my goodness. I just finished the scene where Michael goes to Staples to get Dwight. It was both hilarious in its homage to Officer and a Gentleman and sweet. Also, Michael's dawning recognition of what a jackhole Andy is was really well played. This show, this show. Back to catching up I go...

Kevin, are you all caught up on season 3, now?

Yep, all caught up. Bananas!

I did an Office season 3 and BSG season 3 (second half) marathon in one weekend, and I gotta say, The Office marathon was the fun bit. BSG doesn't quite match.

My brain can not understand why there wasn't The Office today. Poor brain. I don't think I should have watched that much in one go as now there's NO MORE.

I mainlined S3 this weekend. I just have one more ep to watch - the one that aired last week. They've done quite a good job with stringing along the Pam/Jim/Karen/Roy stuff. Not quite so pleased with the Jan/Michael stuff, which is a shame, because I really enjoyed it during S2.

Also, Michael coming to Pam(casso)'s art show - that scene was just d'awwww... and then the funny, with the Chunky bar. "You want half?" Love.

Finally, Jenna Fisher (however she spells her name) looks gorgeous in that cranberry color they had her in a couple of times.

Oh! And Dwight with the watering of the plants and arranging Michael's toys just so. Sweet little creepy dude.

Oh, I'm just going to stop now. There is too much.

Not quite so pleased with the Jan/Michael stuff, which is a shame, because I really enjoyed it during S2.

Oh, I'm loving it even more in S3. I love that we're getting Jan's side of it. She will collapse like a dying star! It's all rather delicious.

(That's what she said.)

(Oh God.)

Hee, OK, that line was hilarious. I think, actually, what got me was that Michael was so ridiculous at the party... but then, maybe it wasn't out of proportion for him? I don't know. Anyway, I just have a hard time really buying Jan potentially jeopardizing her career (mainly due to what people will think as opposed to any real HR issues) by dating, you know, Michael, openly. I mean, dating someone that you want to smack yourself upside the head for dating, I get - but if he worked for me? And I were Jan-who-seems-otherwise-smart-and-competent? I don't know. So, I should say that that's the part that kind of makes me go, "Hmmmm..." But, their interactions? Love. (Well, except for the party, which, gnargh)

But, you know, it's not interfering with my enjoyment of the show. Because, love.

I think they're kind of selling Jan as a desperate divorcee of sorts (she's divorced, right?). It's clearly a bad idea but she's got that whole television trope about Women of a Certain Age choosing between settling and Crazy Cat Lady.
