Rainn posted this to facebook. Pretty impressive list of names. Adam Scott, Mary Lynn Rasjkub, and Alan Tudyk.

Bill Chott wrote and performed on the Dana Carvey show with Steve Carrell back in 96!

I would kill to see the audition footage.

I can definitely see Adam Scott as Jim and Mary Lynn Rasjkub as Pam in an alternate Office universe. Though, only Steve Carell and Rainn Wilson can do Michael and Dwight.
 
I only just clicked what that list is. For some reason, I thought it was a joke sign in sheet for the finale, with either guest stars or just people hanging around "signing in" as a joke.

Now I get what it is, its pretty impressive. I could definitely see Adam Scott as Jim, but find it hard to picture anyone else. Rainn would've certainly been an interesting Michael.

Adam Scott would be a awesome Jim.
 
I could easily see Matt Besser as his own version of Dwight. It would have been different from Rainn Wilson's, but just as good. Besser is a major talent.
 
I really didn't understand all the talk of how this season is so bad until I began to watch Stress Relief on Netflix, god this episode has me laughing in tears
 
NBC replayed the second half of Moving On.

One thing I actually really liked about that episode is the Dwight and Angela storyline. Angela was genuinely likable and you feel really bad for Dwight in the end.

Pam's a total bitch, still. "Even if it was a great job and a great boss, I don't know if I want this." And when Jim said "and I started a job in Philadelphia," Pam just gives him this "too bad" look. Ice cold.
 
I enjoyed it quite a bit once they realized just how much footage there was. Last ten minutes was fantastic.
 
Jim shoots Brian in the head and the ensuing murder investigation uncovers money laundering at Dunder Mifflin Scranton, setting up the show's final plotline.

See that actually makes a little more sense than "You mean they have been filming everything for 10 years .... and OMG sound too!?!?!?" Next thing you know Roseanne and Tom Arnold will be having cameos.

Why was Pam pissed at Brian again? I just don't get it.
 
So fucking stupid. They never should have decided to address the documentary stuff. It makes absolutely no sense, even by sitcom standards.
 
I thought this was one of the best episodes in awhile...

Feels like they're winding down to the end now. Some great moments (the phonecall to the Senator was hilarious)
 
Did pam and jim have a second kid? I think they did, but they never made a big deal out of it like they did with their first one. Also, when Brian said he was going to get drinks for pam, i swear i thought he was gonna get her drunk or something and get her to cheat on Jim. Speaking of Jim, now that he's in philly, is Nellie supposed to be the new prankster now, messing with andy all the time?

That episode was hilarious all the way through - I laughed at pretty much everything, which hasn't happened in a while. Kevin always kills me, loved when he explained his confusion at filming a documentary, and Creed's creepy smile in the beginning when Phyllis is getting off on 50 Shades of Grey. Gold.
 
So what's the story behind all the new episodes sucking so bad? Did they change writers? It can't just be because of Steve Carrell leaving.
 
As much as we've all been shitting on this season, Clark Duke's actually been a good addition to the cast.

I like how he replaces Jim on the talking heads bit with Pam. The image alone was pretty funny.
 
Just caught up with the newest episode now.

It wasnt too bad, one of the better ones this season id say, there were some funny moments in it.

But the whole thing about them getting worried about what secrets are going to come out should not be covered in the series. It will not make any sense when you look back through the old episodes, the amount of secrets & personal stuff they tell the cameras knowing that it going to be on aired on TV makes the whole thing seem fake. I know its supposed to be a mockumentary, but after the first season it was never a believable documentary & just became a sitcom where they occasionally acknowledged the cameras.

It all worked fine & was believable watching in from the outside, but for them to now watch it back themselves in their universe just makes the whole thing seem odd.
 
I enjoyed this week's episode. Things are wrapping up fairly nicely. We'll probably get a flashback episode and hopefully a conclusion to the various storylines. I have no idea where the hell Jim's storyline is going though.

Angela and Oscar on the phone was the best part.
 
This show is so oddly cobbled together at this point, I guess due to the spinoff attempt. What was Darryl doing in the office in the cold open?

For real. What was all that crap with the tractor girl? A Dwight love interest for The Farm?

Can't believe they brought Brian back for more "will she cheat?" fake-out bullshit. Pam is still whining about petty non-issues after Jim spent Valentines with her "working things out." Working out what exactly? Pam's one-sided complaining about Jim working his ass off in Philly. So much time and drama over something so ordinary and mundane. This has to be the most forced, trivial argument hoisted onto an otherwise dull, conflict-less television couple.

Old Andy was pretty cool though.

Yep. I love that chick. She's not much to look at, but she's funny as hell.

I actually like New Jim too.

I am curious to see the farm in its original form. I suspect it might be the worst pilot for a tv show ever made.
 
I was gonna complain about them not using the actual Dog-Cat-Rat guy, but turns out the dog died last year :(
 
Still waiting for Jim to call Pam out on having a made up job.

Maybe he forgot about it, like Stanley forgot that he took the stairs all the time to lose weight...

I dunno , that's the most real the relationship has been in years.
 
The Jim/Pam woes are obviously forced into the storyline because they have nothing left that feels substantial or real. They have the horribly written Jim/Pam bad marriage angle, and then everything else is zany bullshit that no one would ever believe. It's like they need that one shred of something almost real so bad that they rushed it in.
