I don’t see this an as inconsistency. I’ve never seen a reality show where anyone acknowledged the cameras on-screen. Take **The Apprentice ** for example; they’re out in the public constantly, yet no one is ever shown commenting on it.
I thought the fly bit was funny because most likely there was a fly in the room and the actress reacted in character to it. But yes the inconsistency with the stance on Philadelphia was odd. Unless it was an attempt to show her hypocrisy again. She lambasts women as sluts and goes to church but has a sexual relationship with Dwight. Its okay for her to talk bad abut Philly but not someone else.
Yeah, Creed is easily my favorite television character ever.
Yeah, that hypocritical bitch. Great stuff!
My recording stopped after Michael and Jim’s conversation, when the two other guys came in to the “party”. Was there a little gag at the end like the gay detector last week?
Thanks.
I’m kind of ashamed to admit it, but I have a little crush on her. I’m sure in real life I’d be keeping my distance, but on the show…
Michael and Dwight were in Michael’s room; Michael went to kick the party up a notch by turning on a black light. Of course stains were exposed on various items around the room.
I didn’t look closely, because I was laughing too hard, but I really hope there was an incriminating stain on Dwight somewhere. That would’ve been a great capper to the Angela storyline.
The thing that cringed me: why would Jim confide in Michael again?
In this case, I think it was just to make him feel better. Michael thought that Jim had transferred because he didn’t like Michael. Jim has always had a soft spot for Michael and an inclination to be kind when things are going bad for him. Confessing that he had left because of Pam was a way to reassure him that Jim still liked him (and I think Jim appreciates Michael as a boss even more now that he’s in the sterile, humorless environment of Stamford). I think that Jim also just decided he didn’t care that much about keeping his thing for Pam a secret. He’s sort of resigned himself (at this point) to accepting that it’s not going to happen. He’s not at Scranton anymore anyway, and he thought it just didn’t matter if anyone knew.
Also, maybe this is how things between Jim and Pam get restarted— you know Michael won’t be able to keep it to himself. He’ll say something to Pam, and maybe she’ll finally get off her ass and do something about it.
You’ve got to include the best part! The dialog between Michael and Dwight.
Michael: Oh, what’s all that?
Dwight: Blood, Urine, Semen…
Michael: I hope it’s urine.
The best part of that scene was Jim walking down the hall saying, “Oh my God. I’ve gotta call . . . I’ve gotta call somebody. I don’t even know who to call.” His first thought was to call Pam, but he can’t do that right now.
“If I wasn’t engaged, I would so-o-o hit that.” The guy has all the sexual appeal of a eunuch. Another satisfying ep in a great series.
If you go to the NBC site, there is a deleted scene where Jan asks the Scranton super up to her room to “look at the schedule”. He turns it down.
I have to say that I am impressed by the realism of the show. I have spent a great deal of time in Eastern, PA, New York City and Stamford, CT and the characters and locations all ring true. Stamford IS sterile and corporate - all office parks overlooking Rt-95 and The Sound. Jan and the other New York “suits” with their distaste of the tiny rural Scranton branch and their Big Corporate ivory tower.
And Philly does smell like cheese steaks 
Also I like that they make Michael an excellent salesman. Too many shows put some ridiculous asshole of a boss in charge and you can never figure out how the hell he got there.
Typically hotel rooms have the bathroom near the door creating a small hallway. Most likely Jim would not have gone past the small hallway. He would have just seen Angelas lower half and been so startled he just did a quick about-face not even considering it would be Angela (who no one has any idea about).
I wished I’d taped it so I could go back and check, but I don’t recall seeing anyone when Jim opened Dwight’s door…just the voice, which I thought was coming from the bathroom. Didn’t see any legs or anything. If Angela had been laying right there, she wouldn’t have had to ask “Is that you, D?” and she would have reacted to seeing Jim. I think she was in the bathroom and you saw clothes on the bed. Could someone who taped it go back and check?
I kind of assumed Jim knew (perhaps subconciously) that Michael would eventually spill it to Pam. He’s using Michael to communicate for him.
kittenblue, I recorded it and you do see Angela’s leg. In fact, her feet & leg position indicate that she’s lying on the bed spread eagle and Jim gets a full view.
She says “D?” when Jim walks in. Maybe she was wearing some sort of get up or a mask as ohers have suggested (maybe just the sunglasses), but I assumed there was enough of a hallway there that she heard Jim coming (believing it was dwight), but when she heard him talk (“old habits die hard…”) she thought he wasn’t alone so she called out “D?” to get his attention before he let anyone else in the room.
I figured Jim was so flustered to see a naked lady there that he just panicked and ran. He didn’t notice it was Angela.
Jim was talking to and facing the camera while he opened the door. He probably assumed the room would be empty. He pushed the door open still looking at the camera then when he heard “D?” he looked startled that someone was in the room (you could see a pair of nude legs on the bed) and he took about a 1/2 second glimpse of ‘nude girl’ on the bed and slamed the door and ran.
It probably didn’t register that it was Angela. He’s probably never seen her with her hair down.
I’m not sure why anyone is baffled by Jim not recognizing her. She was laying on a bed naked, Jim looked at her for a half a second, I promise you he wouldn’t have been looking at her face. Men are simple and this situation is not the least bit unrealistic or confusing.
:eek:
