"Little tribute to "The Office"?"
Posted by Canada Girl on 02-10-05 at 01:31 AM
Anyone else have a little laugh when hearing that someone was going to Slough to buy a paper supply company?

Had to be a little hats off to the show The Office (about a paper supply company in Slough that gets bought out...). Wonder if JJ Abrams was a fan.

Yeah, I caught that, too. I giggled. It must be Abrams or maybe Dominic Monaghan. It was, after all, part of Charlie's story. Maybe it's something he suggested.

...Abrams is definitely a fan. Remember, he had Ricky Gervaise (the star of Office) as a guest star on Alias a couple years ago. I watched that ep on DVD and as part of the special featurs there is a joint interview with Abrams and Gervaise that is really funny.

I'm currently RUNNING through the Alias seasons on DVD. Always wanted to watch it, and finally started, of course, immediatly addicted.

Just checked the DVD, the episode with Gervaise is the next one I watch, woohoo!

...you'll be very suprised by his performance. It is nothing like his character on The Office, in fact, its almost the exact opposite.

As for Alias, I too went through all the DVDs recently since I never saw it before. Here is the good news...the first two seasons are great. Here is the bad news...the third season is kind of blah and the current season is downright horrible so far. This week's episode might have been the worst I've ever seen.

Damn, stupid JJ spliting up his attention! Focus man (but don't take away Lost. Or Alias.)

Loved Gervaise, watched that one this evening. He's very good. Looking forward to seeing him in Mission Impossible 3 next!
