I can no longer tell the difference between real life and The Office.

alternative title: I cried at Jim and Pam's wedding.

The hour-long wedding special of Jim and Pam from the Office was probably the master piece of the writing staff. Every element of each character was brought forward and thoroughly displayed. Angela was her prude self, Dwight was a completely sociopath, and Michael Scott was ridiculously inappropriate.

This show was not for someone new to the office, but rather a treat to the loyal viewer, as it made much more sense if you knew the cast well. I am not the type to become entwined with any sort of fictional character, simply based on the fact that in the back of my head I know fiction is fantasy. But the Office dulls the line with their newest special and creates a sense of realism that will at least momentarily lead you to believe that you are observing real people doing real things.

If you ARE in the mood to give some of your precious life to the mechanical box sitting in the living room, you might as well choose the Office on NBC at 9pm on Thursday to do it.
