May 16, 201312 yr QUOTE (Brian @ May 16, 2013 -> 09:28 PM) Have not. Wouldn't even attempt. Not into fantasy stuff. I'm not into ANY kind of fiction and I went through these 1000-page books in a few weeks each. They're just good.
May 16, 201312 yr QUOTE (Brian @ May 16, 2013 -> 03:28 PM) Have not. Wouldn't even attempt. Not into fantasy stuff. Do you like medieval themed stuff? Because it's really more about knights/ladies and castles than fantasy. The fantasy stuff is really on the fringes.

May 17, 201312 yr QUOTE (Brian @ May 16, 2013 -> 04:28 PM) Have not. Wouldn't even attempt. Not into fantasy stuff. I'm not either but something made me start the books a couple years ago. It's more of a medieval political thriller with a huge and remarkably well developed world (with history) that it made it impossible to put down. There are fantasy and sci-fi elements to the series, but it seriously accounts for maybe 10-20% of the story.

May 17, 201312 yr QUOTE (fathom @ May 17, 2013 -> 12:01 AM) The Office finale was pretty much perfect I havent watched since sometime last season, but DVR'ed the finale just to see how it ends.
May 17, 201312 yr I watched Season 1 of The Office on Netflix since its only like 5 episodes. Outside of Amy Adams appearing, ugh. Is it like other series where it gets better in Season 2?

I'm just wondering if the show hit its stride in Season 2. Season 1 of Parks & Rec was bad and short as well but has been great ever since. Wondering if the same could be said for The Office.

Wondering if the same could be said for The Office. Yea I agree with the Parks and Rec comment, that first season was pretty brutal, the characters just didn't find themselves yet. But as soon as season 2 started with that rap by Leslie, you knew they were much more comfortable in their roles and comedy would ensue.

Wondering if the same could be said for The Office. I think it did get better until its peak, when (spoiler!) Jim/Pam got together. After that it's all downhill. It was Steve Carroll playing the role of Michael Scott for 3-4 (5?) more seasons (not a genuinely new and interesting character that you enjoyed watching. It was just Michael Scott doing stupid/embarrassing s*** every episode). Occasionally there was a good episode, but it was average at best. And then it got to be unwatchable once Carroll left and they tried a bunch of gimmicks that failed.

But as soon as season 2 started with that rap by Leslie, you knew they were much more comfortable in their roles and comedy would ensue. Agreed. Starting with season 2 the writers found out who the funny people were going to be (Ron, Andy, Tom and Pawnee generally) and refrained from having Leslie be the main comedic driver like Michael Scott in The Office.

May 17, 201312 yr The Office is my favorite TV show by far, so I cried like a baby last night. It was the perfect ending.

Usually Brian is pretty lenient and you are "I HATE THIS IT IS TERRIBLE I WILL WATCH THE ENTIRE SEASON TO MAKE SURE IT REMAINS TERRIBLE" which is admirable and hilarious at the same time
May 17, 201312 yr QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 17, 2013 -> 10:31 AM) I actually thought the first 3 seasons of the Office were the absolute best. The early season were great TV. Then it kinda ebbed downhill. I lost interest in about year 4 or so.
