Based off the original British series, director Greg Daniels launched his
final season of
The Office Thursday night. Although some are saddened
by the news of it being the last of the paper company documentary, others are
relieved. Season 8 was not the greatest, to say the least; the majority of the
fans saying that Daniels should’ve ended the show there. But, as you see, it’s
back and, so far, on a good foot.
The premier of season 9 kicked off with the employees telling about their
summer, during which Toby (
Paul Lieberstein) informs us that Kelly (
MindyKaling) quits work to go off to
Miami University, which is located in
Ohio,
not
Miami. And
then, coincidently, obsessed Ryan (
B.J. Novak) leaves for
Ohio. Oh well. Toby then does the honors of
introducing the two “new guys”, Pete (
Jake Lacy), nicknamed Plop and/or the New
Jim, and Clark (
Clark Duke), nicknamed Dwight Jr.
Now in order for you to understand my next comment, you need to know this:
Angela’s baby is NOT Dwight’s. Angela (
Angela Kinsey)? Relieved. Dwight (
RainnWilson)? Well, he has mixed feelings I believe. With that said, tensions start
between Dwight and new guy, Dwight Jr., but not at first.

Dwight and new guy, Clark |
At first, Dwight seamed pleased with the thought of having someone in the
office named after him. He started treating the new guy like his own son,
probably because he found out Angela’s baby was, in fact, her husband Richard’s.
Everything with Dwight Jr. was going great until Dwight Jr. made a comment to
Dwight about helping him with his sales clients. Dwight, believing that the new
guy was out to steal his job, immediately pinned Dwight Jr. as “enemy”.

As that pot boils, another pot is cooking with new boss, Andy (
Ed Helms),
and shortly-lived former boss, Nellie (
Catherine Tate). Andy, having just got back
from a camping trip brought up to help Andy with assertiveness as the new boss,
sets up a foot-high tight rope teambuilding activity for the Dunder Mifflin
employees. He calls Nellie to try it out first, but only so that he could just
push her off. Is Andy going to be the jerk of the show? That’s questionable.
Anyways, after Nellie’s “poor” attempt, Andy calls Dwight Jr. to give it a try.
Turns out, Dwight Jr. was a pro at it, having no problem whatsoever walking
back and forth on the rope. Dwight, in a jealous rage because of how much
attention Dwight Jr. was getting, tried the rope out… over and over again, each
time failing miserably. When the sad attempts ended, Dwight stormed off back
into the building. What could be brewing in Dwight’s mind right now? Will he
redeem himself to his co-workers?

Meanwhile, Angela is giving her cat up to any potential owner, and after
stating that it was her husbands favorite cat (their new baby is allergic),
Oscar (
Oscar Nunez) pipes up and says he’ll take him. Now why would Oscar,
being a gay man, suddenly want the cat after hearing it was Richard’s favorite?
I guess you’ll have to see. And as for the cute couple Jim (
John Krasinski) and
Pam (
Jenna Fischer), are they going to give into working at the paper company in
small town
Scranton, Pennsylvania for the rest of their lives?
Better question: will Jim? “In the parking lot today there was a circus! The
copier did tricks on the high-wire... a lady tried to give away a baby that
looked like a cat... there was a Dwight impersonator and a Jim impersonator...
a strongman crushed a turtle... I laughed and I cried. Not bad for a day in the
life of a dog food company”. Couldn’t have said it any better, Creed (
CreedBratton).
I like all of the metaphors you used! But, the episode summary got a little confusing in some places. For example, the end quote by Creed was a little confusing. The tone of the article was very conversational and fit the article well. The links and pictures are good and I like how you used the captions under the pictures to say who the character is.

Brianna's review was pretty good. Her background of the show was good as long as if you've seen the show before, but if you have hadn't seen it , it could to be hard to follow. The pictures are all good and they seem like they explain what had happened in the show. All her links match up and all lead to good resources to research actors on. All in all she did a good job with everything else and it had flow and good grammar.

There was little to no error which is a plus! The quote as the end was hard to understand. There was no background on the characters. Your choices of pictures were good and the captions were associated with them. The flow was a okay, a little choppy.

In the grammar sequence, just about everything seems to be correct.The pics were placed in the perfect spots for this review.And throughout the whole review you seemed to keep a good/constant flow on where you led the audience.The quote at the end seemed a little off.You had an overall success throughout the review.-Baltazar Calvillo
