The Office: Shudder
It's hard to describe the pleasure and the pain that is The Office. It should be classified as 'Horror'. You watch because it hurts. I guess it hurts because it's so horribly, horribly human. I really feel for the characters; I think most people do. When Dawn and Tim kissed, viewers cheered - I think I even did.

But it hurts because you know the characters are trapped. Trapped in their own skins, trapped in their own heads, and trapped in the office. I guess I watch for those little signs that they are still sane, like when Tim looks into the camera: see I'm an optimist.

If you have never seen an episode, you don't know what you are missing. And if you choose to miss it, I'll understand perfectly.  ¶ 10:21 am
