Funny you should mention that whole camera operator thing.
During the Cast Q&A at the convention, someone asked Greg Daniels if, since the show is shot like the documentary, will there be a point in time when the characters will become mini-celebrities because the documentary finally airs. He didn’t go into too much detail, but he did say it’s been discussed.
It would be delicate material to get through, but I’d still be interested to see where it goes.

And yeah, apparently Rainn and Steve didn’t show up to work yesterday, or at least that’s the scuttlebutt on OfficeTally…

One thing I’ve liked this season is that we’ve seen more instances of the camera operator being a character. When Jim was trying to hide from Karen in the car, and the camera operator popped up, I wondered if it was to see where Karen was OR to get Karen’s attention so that a confrontation between Karen and Jim would be forced. As in, was it an attempt by the camera operator to create drama? I always think about the camera operators, and how they’ve got to have the best job in the world — hanging out in and around Dunder Mifflin, going on adventures, hearing stories. What a life.

I think the writers are building a situation where they’re somehow going to use Jim’s (relative to Pam’s) emotional inexperience to cause a break between Jim and Pam.

Then again, with the writers’ strike, the show could be shut down at any moment and this season could very well end super-abruptly, to be continued at a later date when the WGA gets a contract it’s happy with.

I’m too old for all this worrying.

If you so much as harm a hair on Stanley’s head, we will burn Utica to the ground.

according to today`s LA Daily News, NBC is having the Office writers “screw around for a couple of episodes introducing characters for a spinoff series” TVGuide.com thinks it is a relally good idea. Fans say two words….Joey and Joey. Well one fan said she is going French Revolution on them…heads on sticks!
