hmmm...maybe not. you could just go ahead and try, but the download takes an hour or two, and you'll also have to download the software, which some pcbang folk get pissy about..maybe you're best off going with the streaming until you get your own machine?

oh, i dont have a computer of my own just yet, and im nervous about downloading at a pcbang. would it be ok? i cant speak a word of korean yet, and can't ask the employee here for help.


Oh i do it all the time and in any pc bang
they dont care if you do or not
they know their anti-virus stuff are good enough to protect their systems

anyway you dont need a korean's help
just download utorrent at their website and make sure you choose the english version when asked
then go to isohunt and download the office
in a pc room it takes 20 minutes to do all that

Puahahaha. The Negotiation is a damn fine ep. I love Toby. What was Michael's comment? "Toby is the worst human on earth."

"I am not a hero. You know who the real hero is? Hero on Heros. Now he is a hero".
Perhaps the best quote yet this year.

Exciting intro though...the first 3 minutes shocked the crap outta me.

I bet you haven't watched more than 2 episodes of the American version and are simply pulling a "it's British, so it must be better" stance..

Truth be told the series did start off a little slow, but as a huge fan of both the British and American versions, I truly believe that the American version has come into it's own...

it would be unfair to compare them, but if one were to force me to, I would say that yes, the American version has surpassed the British version..

And so you don't feel all that bad, Gervais does help out a little bit with the new one...

Well, Gervais and Merchant have written an episode for the American Office, so you should check that out at least.

I think he was asking you WHAT episodes of The Office did you watch?
The first season IS a write off, but I think by the second season (a couple episodes in) it comes into it's own.

Now that I've seen the American version (which I was prepared to hate), the UK version seems so vicious. Still good, but quite a different animal.

Season 4 great start. Michael runs down one of his employees. Dwight kills his gf's cat. Michael makes out a check to "science".

The new episode (Season 4, Episode 2) is up on youtube (or was last night).

Are they all going to be 40 minute episodes now (1 hour with commercials)?

I won't discuss the episode, but I'll say the "I'm pregnant" scene is hilarious.

I'll also say "The TURTLES!!"

I think first few are "hour" episodes but will return to the "half hour" format.

This week was just wall to wall pleasure. I love when Dwayne tries to give whats her face a feral barn cat.

Ep 3: The Launch Party

A weak start. It didn't get good until Michael kidnaps the pizza kid. The Dwight subplot I didn't enjoy so much. The anger management guy hitting on Dwight's ex was interesting. Michael is hailed by some coworkers for his opposition to Ryan, their new boss. Hrm. The Indian chick might be getting it on with the warehouse guy (who was in D-War). The warehouse guy's first appearance this season. I like how he told Dwight off, to go back to selling like a man.
