The Office 10/16/08

Heh…“I don’t know what I would do. Sue…icide?”

The deleted scenes are great.

The producers have said that they consider all deleted scenes to be “in canon.” The only reason they’ve been cut is for NBC’s broadcast time restrictions. They’re basically in the story.

YES! I laughed so hard when I heard him say this. Sad thing is, I’m sure some studio would green-light that screenplay.

I think the most valid complaints I hear from fans of the show are having to do with Jan. I’m not talking about the complaints dealing with her current character flaws, but the idea that these flaws were not at all present or detectable when we first got to know her. Wallace listed behaviors the audience wasn’t aware of when she was getting fired. In season 3’s “Cocktails” Jan said:

“I am attracted to weird, wrong men. I dated a violent karate instructor and then an unemployed fireman. Life has been complicated. I’ve made some decisions that I’m not proud of; my marriage, being overly litigious with my family. I orgasm fairly easily. Michael was kind of like my dirty secret, you know, having sex with him, oh I was just turned on by my own degradation. Um, why, anyway, I was told by somebody recently that I respect that I’m old enough to have a mature relationship, and that’s what this whole evening is about and I have high hopes.”

As of yet, my only self-conceived excuse for her transformation is that her business and her personal life collided when she started humoring the idea of being with Michael. If he is allowed to infiltrate this world then Jan Levinson as you know her ceases to exist.

You see, right now we have Relationship Jan. But there was also Business Jan. That’s the Jan you knew, the Jan you saw in the fist episode… Successful Jan, Good Managerial Skills Jan, Respected Jan, No-Nonsense Jan. And she’s dead. Since Relationship Jan walked through those doors, She’s killed Business Jan. A Jan divided against itself cannot stand!

Being a single mother’s not easy. She’ll probably try keep Michael just close enough to get some help from him when she’s burnt out.

A thought: what happened to Jan’s fake tits?

What makes you think something has happened to them?

I guess because she was nursing? But you can nurse if you’ve had implants, can’t you, or can you? Maybe the baby was being fed with delusion.

I think it depends on how the implants were put in, but I know you can nurse with them.

Yes, a woman with breast implants can nurse.

As an aside, I recall seeing an episode of Taxicab Confessions in which a woman was explaining that she got her breasts enhanced while she was still lactating, and, somehow, the side effect was that she never stopped lactating. Ever.

She doesn’t seem as busty as before. I don’t think the actress really got implants but the character did so it looks like there’s a continuity error.

Well, she’s not wearing low-cut tops this time. And the deleted nursing scene was fuzzed. Even with implants, what you’re wearing has a lot of effect on how prominent they seem.
