You're right it's a lot funnier but it's also important because Neil plays a role in helping Brent work himself out. Being banned from the office or made to reflect in an empty office before the Christmas party helped David define that he did like being part of an office but in order to be entitled to be there he…

One of the advantages David and Carol have is that she likes to listen and David likes to hold forth (and how!). We get messages about the type of person she is. She shows she has humour, she can be kind, encouraging, constructive and fun but we don't actually hear her speak about herself, we don't learn more about…

There is a case to be made for this Mooncake. Although there are people with Asperger's Syndrome who aren't selfish in the way we see that Anne is. Jumping the queue to get a ride for her son, by suggesting he has a terminal illness is one example. A person with Asperger's would probably be more likely to stick to the…

I'd also like to add my voice of thanks to Todd. Occasionally after I'd watch an episode of The office, I'd go on line to see if there was any interesting commentary of the show. I couldn't find anything. It might be ten years later but along comes this and it was well worth waiting for.

Taffy certainly gets to her achilles heel. Her entire identity revolves around her husband, kid and unborn baby and she assumes others respect this. Taffy tosses this expectation of hers aside with cruel humor that has the effect of taking everyone else on board with him against her. She had it coming. When David…

Dawn also seems to take this relationship with Lee so seriously in a way that becomes a duty. She gets over upset by the argument she has with Lee. (It's Tim who genuinely cheers her up). In contrast we see Donna trying to cheer her up and showing, at the same time, her less serious approach to relationships that were…

Brent Neil Tim Rachel Dawn
I love the way Neil is a true professional at work but not a perfect human being. It makes you more sympathetic to Brent. When he is with someone with a stronger personality than his own, like Finchy he cannot but go along with the nastiness with relish. One's left with the rather uplifting…
