736597, Watching "The Office" for the first time...question Posted by tully_blanchard, Thu Nov-07-19 01:32 PM
I'm on Season 5..
Does Micheal EVER win?
Just a simple "yes" will suffice...but damn...like, he never wins..ever.
I get that him being a loser is a part of the show, but even a broken clock is right twice a day.

736600, He gets little wins here and there.... Posted by WarriorPoet415, Thu Nov-07-19 03:29 PM
....even by season 5 that's true. But without giving further detail-yeah. He gets a big win eventually. ______________________________________________________________________________

736602, He gets his wins in. Posted by JiggysMyDayJob, Thu Nov-07-19 05:22 PM
by the end, Michael gets the big win.
|
736603, Yes - but his losses are pretty good Posted by handle, Thu Nov-07-19 05:43 PM

736605, you'll be touched by how he wins when you consider the losses Posted by Ray_Snill, Thu Nov-07-19 06:48 PM

736608, yeah, he does, unfortunately. he's a piece of shit Posted by Cold Truth, Fri Nov-08-19 01:28 AM
His losses are usually well earned. He's a lovable loser until you pay attention to how awful he is toward nearly everyone, at seemingly every turn.
To be fair, he's surrounded by a bunch of enablers who deserve what they get from him.
|
736609, Yeah, and that's the part I wrestle with Posted by tully_blanchard, Fri Nov-08-19 08:17 AM
Like...when he's tracking for a win and the rug gets yanked from under him I feel bad...but then I think about he treated Oscar and I go "well...yeah..that's what he gets"
But it's a tough watch now..what..over 10, damn near 15 years after it first came out? Maybe early 30's me wouldn't mind seeing a guy lose over and over and over, but late 40's me is like "damn..even the worst guy deserves a W sometimes"

736741, I think some shows are unintentionally grim when binged Posted by Cocobrotha2, Thu Nov-14-19 08:53 PM
I tried to binge Curb Your Enthusiasm and found it depressing. I guess it's like having THAT friend that's kinda fun to hang out with in short occasional doses bc they're offbeat/ a bit strange/sarcastic/whatever. It's not until you start hanging with them daily that you figure out they're insufferable.
|
736905, I seriously don't know why any one hangs out with (TV) Larry David Posted by Adwhizz, Mon Nov-25-19 12:15 PM
Or continues inviting him to things
Nothing but chaos and Carnage follows that man!

736644, Just started S6..my God why won't this show end? (spoilers) Posted by tully_blanchard, Mon Nov-11-19 11:26 AM
I really, really hate Micheal now.
They got the news about the company being bankrupt, so he does the "Murder Mystery" game...and everytime he opens his mouth I wanna put a boot in it.
Outside of a Creed moment, it's not even funny anymore. I'm just watching now to get to the end.

I did it with Breaking Bad - I hated those people so much I had to stop watching.

736651, I feel like they missed some good opportunities... Posted by Marbles, Mon Nov-11-19 02:54 PM
In these later seasons, they should have done more with Stanley, Phyllis, Meredith, Kevin etc. I think there was some undiscovered gold in a lot of the secondary characters.
|
736910, I agree..the little dude Nate from the warehouse coulda been gold Posted by tully_blanchard, Mon Nov-25-19 01:00 PM

736911, All done...pretty good show Posted by tully_blanchard, Mon Nov-25-19 01:03 PM
I'm good with how it ended..
Andy turned out to be a "worser" version of Michael.
Question though..
If Angela did lie about the baby being Dwights, was the doctor in on it too?
